Location
Sheltered from the prevailing South Westerly winds by the tors of Dartmoor, the area basks in its own micro-climate where in the gardens of Pilgrims Rest, you will even see grapevines and palm trees! This area of Devon became popular in the early 19th century, by fashionable, well-heeled royalty and gentry. Unable to travel abroad, they did not just visit, but also built their second, third or fourth homes here! Indeed, it became the richest town outside the Cities. Now with its proximity to Dartmoor it makes the perfect year-round destination for exploring both coast and countryside.
Nestled just over a mile inland, between the pretty coastal villages of Maidencombe and Babbacombe, Pilgrims Rest Cottages offer a slice of tranquillity without being too far off the beaten track. An excellent selection of local convenience shops are within a couple of minutes walking distance, beaches less than 5 minutes drive and an abundance of restaurants, cafes, pubs and attractions of all types that you would expect from a premier resort like the English Riviera and Torquay; all within 10 minutes away. Choose the pace that suits you for your time away, with either leisurely days on the nearby beaches, walks seeing some stunning scenery taking in some rather lovely local fayre, a day of retail therapy in Torquay, or for those who are drawn to the sea or sport, why not try out Stand Up Paddleboarding, Kayaking, Jet Skiing, Fishing, Sailing, Golf, Horse Riding, Cycling and more!
