Modbury, Dartmoor National Park, Devon, England

Sleeps 4 + cot
Waterfall Cottage is a traditional stone built cottage set on the 28 acre Colmer Estate in the beautiful South Hams. It was originally the sawmill for the Estate before being sympathetically restored. The Colmer Estate dates back over 700 years. The large water wheel which powered the saw bench can still be seen. The walled fruit and vegetable garden is now the children's play area.
Waterfall Cottage is situated ideally between the indoor and outdoor pool. The two bedroom cottage has an open plan living space with a stable door leading to a private terrace with BBQ and seating overlooking the beautiful communal outdoor swimming pool. It’s the perfect place to sit back and take in the views of the majestic trees within the ground of the Colmer Estate. This view is really quite special and one that pers... Read more

It’s the perfect place to sit back and take in the views of the majestic trees within the ground of the Colmer Estate. This view is really quite special and one that persuaded us to buy the cottage, well that and the lake, the wildlife, swimming pools ……
The cottage is ideally suited for both families and couples. There is high chair and travel cot for our youngest visitors.
Guests of the cottage have full use of all of the facilities which include:
- an indoor pool which is open all year round
- an outdoor pool open (end of) May- (beginning of) September
- an all-weather tennis court
- table tennis table
- fitness gym (over 16s)
- walled garden with children’s play area and pavillion
- private lake and woodlands
- wildflower meadow
There is a well stocked local shop and a gastro pub just a 5 minute walk away
from the cottage.
We welcome one well-behaved dog in the property. We ask that they are kept
in the living space. There is a stair gate to help your dog stay out of the
bedrooms. The grounds make the cottage ideal for those with a four legged
friend and there are lots of dog friendly beaches in the area. These are just a
few - Soar Mill Cove (Salcombe), Salcombe North Sands, South Milton Sands
(Kingsbridge), Strete Gate Beach (Dartmouth). If you want to experience
some wonderful walks and breath-taking views of a different kind Dartmoor
National Park is less than 10 miles away.
The cottage is just a short drive to many beautiful attractions in Devon. The
South Hams has rivers, moor land and the coast means that there are lots of
outdoor activities to get involved in such as surfing, canoeing, walking and
sailing. The nearest beach Bantham is just a 20 minute drive and is in an
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It also has a reputation of being one of
the best surf beaches in Devon but is also great for families due to the acres
of sandy pools that are revealed at low tide.
The coastal town of Dartmouth is just a 30 minute drive away and has
beautiful historic buildings and an amazing landscape. The river Dart offers
the opportunity to get involved in sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding or simply
taking a boat trip. Blackpool Sands which is one of the country’s top beaches
and is just a short drive from Dartmouth.
Salcombe is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It sits on the
banks of the Salcombe Estuary and renowned for being one of the prettiest
towns in South Devon. There are lots of water sports to enjoy and local
beaches South Sands and North Sands are ideal for families.
There is a wealth of heritage in the area and Totnes Castle and the South
Devon Railway are well worth a visit. Woodlands Theme Park is great for
children. The park is spread over a 100 acres and has some great water
slides and rides.
