South Pool is a small, picture-book village at the head of a tidal creek in the South Hams, surrounded by rolling fields and quiet lanes. Choosing a large holiday cottage in South Pool gives groups a peaceful, self-catering base with room for everyone, where you can wander down to the water, watch the tide move through the creek and still be a short drive from beaches like Slapton Sands or the shops and cafés of Kingsbridge and Salcombe.
For bigger groups, days tend to unfold gently. Some might follow the lanes and footpaths that run along the creek, others head out by car for a few hours on the coast, and a few stay back to enjoy the garden or a slow lunch. As evening comes around, it is an easy stroll to the Millbrook Inn for dinner, or back to a generous kitchen and dining table to cook and eat together. With its sheltered setting, strong village feel and straightforward access to the estuary and coast, South Pool suits those who want to be tucked away yet still well placed for shared adventures.
