THE COLMER COUNTRY ESTATE Nr Kingsbridge
This lovely 18th century country estate has been beautifully restored to provide top quality self-catering accommodation with a range of superb facilities
, located in an unspoilt green valley in the heart of the South Hams.
There are 28 acres of private grounds, including woodland, wild flower meadows, a walled orchard and a lake.
Outdoor activities include a kidney-shaped outdoor swimming pool (heated during the summer season), a hard tennis court, coarse fishing, boules court and an adventure playground. Indoor facilities include a heated indoor swimming pool and a fitness room along with a games room, with pool table, for older children. All in all, there is something here for everyone, and plenty of quiet corners to just sit and enjoy this beautiful spot – if you are lucky you may encounter some of the wildlife here, a glimpse of a deer or badger on a summer evening.
Colmer is ideally placed for exploring this area – the nearest beaches are Bigbury, Bantham and Thurlestone, and numerous sandy coves dotted in between.
Kingsbridge, at the heart of South Hams, is about 6 miles drive, and has a interesting mix of small shops and restaurants, along with boating activities including cruises down the estuary to Salcombe, a popular sailing mecca with real ‘Mediterranean’ atmosphere.
Shopping in Dartmouth and Totnes, walking or riding on the tors of Dartmouth, enjoying a pint of real ale and good food at one of the many country inns, enjoying the spring flowers and autumn colours – there are endless opportunities for all ages.
Colmer has close links with Dartmouth Golf & Country Club, approx 15 minutes drive away, and guests have the benefit of 25% discount on holiday membership, which gives access to all the health and leisure facilities as well as the championship standard golf course.
Although fairly isolated there is a garage and a shop selling essential provisions and a pub just 300 metres from Colmer. Beaches 8-10 miles.
