Galmpton village has a shop, post office and lovely pub, The Manor Inn, which serves good food and is dog friendly. The cottage itself has two bedrooms and a shower and two separate toilets. The living room has a sofa, two comfy chairs and a rocking chair. The kitchen has a good level of kitchen equipment, a dishwasher and a washing machine.

The cottage has a lovely, quiet, secluded outside seating area where 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.

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. Great fun for the children looking in the rock pools at the tiny crabs and small fish. 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, as well as many other coastal path walks around the bay. 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, which is a family friendly restaurant and ba
Need a hand deciding - house in the country or beach holiday? South West England is a bucket list choice to visit. There is plenty of cottages with dogs allowed in South Dorset, North Coast Cornwall or Padstow and the Lizard Peninsula - some have games rooms.
