Stoke Gabriel is a pretty village where the cottages tumble down a hill that overlooks the picturesque Dart estuary in South Devon and is surrounded by some truly beautiful countryside. Crab Cottage is tucked away at the bottom of the hill just a few steps from the water and the Mill Pool, formed when the creek was dammed to create a permanent tree fringed pool. This delightful cottage is sympathetically converted with a comfortably furnished living room, surrounding a woodburner effect gas stove, which provides a welcome and cosy focus during those chilly spring and autumn evenings. The village epitomises everything that is good about a Devon hamlet with a thriving local community, two pubs, a convenience store, Post Office and quayside cafe/bar. Children will love this place and hours can be spent in the traditional pastimes of crabbing or messing about on the water and as the cottage has plenty of parking space it allows guests to bring their own small boat or dinghy which can be launched from the nearby slipway. There is extensive wildlife in the area for animal lovers with the egrets and otters and if you are lucky you might even spot a seal. For adults there are plenty of beautiful walks, Agatha Christies country house, Greenway, now owned by the National Trust, is close by, a river trip down to Dartmouth or up to Totnes is a must and the English Riviera is just a few miles away.

“Have been so lucky this week. A comfortable well appointed cottage with wonderful views and good weather. Will go home refreshed.” Ann and Robin.

“Crab cottage is wonderful! We;ve had a lovely holiday. The cottage proved a perfect base from which to take our dinghy onto the Dart every day.” Rachel and Richard.
