About this property

Gamekeepers Hide - Stunning cottage with two heated pools feet away

Gamekeepers Hide has been restored to provide high quality self catering. Gamekeeper's Hide is a well presented and sort after cottage offering a perfect holiday retreat for up to four people. Located on the Colmer Country Estate, it is situated in the heart of the South Hams area of Devon.

The estate is a collection of individually owned properties set in an Area of outstanding Natural Beauty in the Idyllic South Hams. This beautiful private estate of 28 acres which consists of meadowland woods and wetlands, you will also find plenty of walks or quite spots where you can picnic quietly read or doze. The estate is also home to a variety of wildlife - badgers, foxes, rabbits and deer. It is brilliantly located for ease of access to Kings bridge - Salcombe - Dartmouth - Totnes and Plymouth, and it is surrounded by picturesque villages, and unspoilt country side. Dartmoor and Torbay are also within easy reach.
The cottage front entrance leads into an open plan lounge with dinning area and fitted kitchen, with electric hob and oven, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. The Lounge area consists of a flat-screen Smart TV and CD Player. Unlimited wireless broadband is available to guests.

Upstairs is a double bedroom, twin bedroom and bathroom with shower, toilet, hand basin and equipped to a very high standard. Brightly furnished throughout, the Cottage has a light, modern feel. There is gas central heating, with radiators in every room.

Outside is a gated, sheltered patio with table, chairs, bench seat and a barbecue. The sunny walled garden is close by. We regret, Gamekeeper's Hide is a non-smoking property and pets are permitted by arrangement for a small fee.

Excellent, well run site
The only issue was the lake, it has lots of potential but needs alot of TLC. Not yet really a fishing lake. Property, pools facilities excellent.

Stunning place!
Gorgeous location. So much to do on the estate. The cottage has everything you need! Local pub 5 mins down the road is also very handy and does good pub food!

Fantastic for families
This accommodation is perfect for families. Colmer has everything you need to keep the kids happy - pools, games, fishing and more. Perfectly located for days at the beach or visiting inland - it was our 2nd visit to this location and probably won’t be out last.

Brilliant Break
Lovely cottage, in a secluded community. Parking directly in front of the property a real boon, and easy access to both indoor and outdoor pools. Beach around a 20-25 minute drive away. Dartmoor 10-15 minutes to the North. Would definitely stay again.

Great base from which to explore south Devon
We enjoyed the stay, it’s a great place from which to explore being central to a lot of beaches and towns in the south hams area. The cottage was ok though would say it’s a little bit shabby and needs a refresh but it’s perfectly fine . Myself being 6’3” struggled with the shower as it’s got compromised head room. The top half of the stairs didn’t have a handrail which made for a tricky time with our toddler getting up and down I his own. The cottage has everything needed other than a washing machine but there is one by the outdoor pool. There is a dishwasher which was good to see. There was Wi-Fi in the cottage but it was very intermittent and often didn’t seem to work but that’s wasn’t an issue for us but was an annoyance for our toddler as Netflix was often stuck loading. The indoor pool next to the cottage was nice and we used it a few times as well as the outdoor pool when the indoor pool was in use (currently a 30 minute slot booking system in place) but it was quite a bit colder than indoor so our little one didn’t like it and it was a bit grubby around the pool, particularly under the cave bit with the bbq that had been used but not cleaned. There were a few loose paving flags on the steps which almost caused a fall when I was carrying my child, narrowly avoiding a potentially nasty fall. Overall we enjoyed our stay and thought it was good value for the area but wouldn’t choose to stay again mainly because of the shower, it was awkward for me as mentioned and I like to shower often.
