Overview of Dunstone Farm

Dunstone Farm is a characterful South Devon farmhouse surrounded by rolling countryside near Chillington, with the coast only a few miles away. Sleeping ten across the main house and a separate Apple Store suite, it offers a particularly flexible setup for families sharing, grandparents travelling with younger generations or groups who want plenty of space.

The private outdoor pool is one of the biggest reasons to choose Dunstone Farm. Set below the house in its own gated area, it has sun loungers, seating and a pool house with a fridge and further chairs, creating a relaxed place to spend warm summer days without leaving the property.

Inside, the farmhouse has several distinct social spaces. The large kitchen and dining area has a log burner and enough room for the group to gather around the farmhouse table, while the separate drawing room adds sofas, a second log burner, a grand piano and desk. A playroom gives children their own space too.

Four bedrooms are in the main house, while the fifth sits in The Apple Store just across the lawn. This self-contained suite has its own kitchen, living area, shower room and deck, making it especially useful for grandparents or another couple.

The location gives guests easy access to South Devon's coastline without sacrificing a rural setting. Beesands, Lannacombe, Torcross, Slapton Sands, South Pool and East Portlemouth are all close by, while Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are within easy reach.

For groups looking for a large holiday home with a pool, flexible accommodation and a peaceful South Hams setting, Dunstone Farm has a lot to offer.

Location & Things to Do Near Dunstone Farm

Dunstone Farm sits in the countryside near Chillington and South Pool, putting guests between the Salcombe and Kingsbridge Estuary and the open coast around Beesands, Torcross and Start Bay.

Beesands is around two miles away and makes an easy first choice for a beach day. The long shingle beach looks across Start Bay and has places to eat close to the shoreline, including a popular seafood pub. From here, walkers can join the South West Coast Path and continue towards Hallsands and Start Point.

Lannacombe is also around two miles away and offers a much smaller, more secluded cove surrounded by countryside. It is a good choice for groups looking for a quieter beach away from the busier stretches of coast.

Torcross lies at the southern end of Slapton Sands, approximately three miles away. From here, the beach continues for several miles alongside Slapton Ley, a freshwater lake and National Nature Reserve. The combination of sea, lake and long walking routes makes this one of the most distinctive landscapes in South Devon.

South Pool lies close by on a tidal creek of the Salcombe and Kingsbridge Estuary. The village is known for its peaceful waterside setting and traditional pub, and the surrounding lanes and footpaths are excellent for quieter countryside walks.

East Portlemouth is another useful option for beach days. From here, guests can reach Mill Bay and other sandy coves or take the passenger ferry across the estuary to Salcombe for shops, restaurants, sailing and boat trips.

Kingsbridge provides the nearest larger choice of shops and supermarkets, while Dartmouth makes an excellent day trip along the coast road past Slapton and Blackpool Sands.
