Cottage, Village, Torbay, Parking, Family & Dog Friendly, Nr Beach, Lovely Walks

Set in the pretty village of Galmpton close to the River Dart and the beautiful beaches of Torbay in Devon. Dine outside on the patio or in the conservatory over looking the pretty cottage garden. Parking for 2 cars. Galmpton Village has a shop, post office and lovely pub, The Manor Inn, which does good food and is dog friendly. The cottage has 2 bedrooms and a shower and 2 toilets. The living room has a sofa, two comfy chairs and rocking chair. The kitchen has a good level of kitchen equipment, a dishwasher and a washing machine. There is a conservatory with a dining table so you can eat dinner with a view of the pretty garden or on a warm day sit in the garden. There is a table and chair in the garden to allow you to dine in the fresh air or just to sit in the sun.

Bedding is provided. We do not provide towels so please bring your own towels.

Check in after 4pm (1600) on your day of arrival and check out before 10am on your day of departure (1000).



The village of Galmpton has a steam train running just on the edge of the village and a local station for the steam train in Churston which is just a short walk away, a vintage bus runs through the village and takes visitors to Agatha Christies house and gardens. The cottage has a lovely quiet secluded outside seating area and a long drive for parking. The River Dart is not far from the cottage and you can get a ferry across to the lovely village of Dittisham or to Dartmouth. There are some lovely walks in the area and also green lanes and footpaths. I have put some books of local walks in the property and some local maps.

Throughout the bay there are pretty beaches, the nearest is Broadsands which is about a mile and has a pay and display car park. Dogs are not allowed on this beach May to Oct but a short walk from Broadsands beach across the pitch and putt is Elberry Cove which dogs are allowed on all year around. Elberry Cove is a lovely secluded beach with the remains of Lord Churston's Bath House on the edge of this beach. These ruins always used to fascinate me as a child. There are rock pools to the sides of both Elberry Cove and Broadsands Beach as the tide goes out. I used to spend hours as a child looking in the rock pools at the tiny crabs and little fishes. Broadsands is a sandy beach a great for making sandcastles.

There is also a lovely coastal walk from Brixham to Paignton and on to Torquay.

A few miles from Galmpton is a water slide park which is great fun. It is next to Goodrington Beach and has a nice pub there called the Inn on the Quay and it does nice food and is family friendly.

A lovely cosy cottage in a very nice village location
This is our second stay at this cosy cottage which contains everything you need for a relaxing & enjoyable holiday. The weather was kind this year so following our return from a busy day out, we were able to sit & sunbathe in the back garden most days. A central location, we visited Tavistock, Teignmouth, Dartmouth, Brixham, Goodrington Sands, Paignton & Torquay to name but a few! We'll be returning.

About the host

Host profile image
I am in the RAF but love to return to Torbay when I get the opportunity. I enjoy boating, diving and other water sports and I are happiest when I am by the sea.

Why they chose this property

My family have lived in Galmpton for 3 generations now and whilst I do not work in the area I love to return to the village where I spent my childhood summers. We love the steam train and collecting shells on Broadsands Beach. My Grandpa used to be the bank manager of the Brixham branch of Lloyds Bank and he was bank manager to Agatha Christie.

What makes this property unique

The village of Galmpton has a steam train running by, a vintage bus that takes visitors to Agatha Christie's house and gardens. The cottage has a lovely quiet secluded out side seating area and a drive for parking. the River Dart is not far from the cottage and you can get a ferry across to the lovely village of Dittisham. There are some lovely walks in the area and green lanes and footpaths.

Throughout the bay there are pretty beached, the nearest is Broadsands which is about a mile and has a pay and display car park. Dogs are not allowed on this beach May to Oct but a short walk from Broadsands across the pitch and putt is Elberry Cove which dogs are allowed on all year around.
