Overview of Clover Cottage
Clover Cottage is a four-bedroom holiday home sleeping eight in Beeson, a small South Devon village surrounded by rolling countryside just inland from the coast at Beesands. Its position gives families and groups a quieter place to stay while keeping the beach, South West Coast Path and several of the South Hams' best-known coastal villages like Slapton and Hallsands within easy reach, you can find more large holiday homes around Slapton here.
The kitchen diner is one of the strongest parts of the house for a group holiday. A large table seats all eight guests and the central island provides additional breakfast-bar seating, creating plenty of room for cooking, eating and spending time together. A separate sitting room with log burner provides a more relaxed evening space, while the conservatory overlooks the garden and adds another place to sit.
There is also a separate study for anyone wanting a quieter room for reading or occasional work.
All four bedrooms are upstairs. The principal bedroom has a 6ft super king-size bed, countryside views with glimpses of the sea and its own bathroom. A king-size room, twin and bunk bedroom provide the remaining accommodation.
Outside, the mainly lawned garden offers room for children and dogs, with a terrace for meals and drinks in warmer weather.
Beesands is less than a mile away, bringing the shingle beach, seafood, village pub and coast path within walking distance. From there, walkers can continue towards Hallsands, Start Point or Torcross, making Clover Cottage particularly attractive for groups who want a rural base without being far from the sea.

Who is Clover Cottage Best For?
Clover Cottage works particularly well for two families because its bedroom layout combines two generous adult rooms with twin and bunk accommodation.
The super king and king bedrooms are natural choices for parents or couples, while the twin and full-size bunk room provide four separate sleeping spaces for children or teenagers.
The amount of communal space is another advantage. The sitting room, conservatory and study give guests different places to relax, while the kitchen diner remains large enough for all eight to gather together.
Families with dogs should also appreciate the garden and proximity to countryside and coastal walking. Two well-behaved dogs are welcome.
Reduced-occupancy bookings are available, with Bedrooms 1 and 3 normally prepared unless different arrangements are agreed when booking.

Location & Things to Do Near Clover Cottage
Beeson is a peaceful rural village set just inland from Start Bay, making Clover Cottage a good choice for a group that wants countryside around the house without sacrificing easy access to the coast. Beesands lies less than a mile away and is close enough to reach on foot, opening up beach days, seafood, pub lunches and coast-path walks without needing to drive.
Beesands itself has a long shingle shoreline backed by a freshwater ley and rolling hills. The village has a strong fishing heritage and remains particularly appealing for groups who prefer a quieter beach setting to a busy resort. The Cricket Inn and Britannia at the Beach provide two very different options for eating locally, from pub meals to locally landed seafood.
Walkers can join the South West Coast Path from Beesands. One rewarding circular route towards Hallsands covers around 3.7 miles and passes the remains of the former fishing village that was largely lost to the sea. Continue further south and the coastline becomes increasingly dramatic around Start Point, where the lighthouse marks one of South Devon's most distinctive headlands.
Heading north leads towards Torcross and Slapton Sands. The long shingle beach stretches for miles beside Slapton Ley, creating opportunities for coastal walking, wildlife watching and learning about the area's Second World War history.
For a sandy beach day, Blackpool Sands is further along the coast towards Dartmouth, while Kingsbridge provides supermarkets, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Dartmouth makes an excellent longer outing for its harbour, boat trips, galleries and historic waterfront.
With the South West Coast Path, several very different beaches and three attractive South Devon towns within reach, Clover Cottage is particularly well positioned for a varied family or group holiday.
