Overview of Fiferail

Fiferail is a substantial detached holiday home in Thurlestone with some of the finest sea views in the village. From its elevated position, the outlook stretches across the golf course and coastline towards Thurlestone Sands, Hope Cove and Bolt Tail. Discover our full range of large cottages for group holidays in Thurlestone here.

Sleeping ten across five bedrooms, the house works particularly well for families sharing a holiday or several generations travelling together. Two super king-size bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for couples, while three twin rooms give children, teenagers and friends plenty of flexibility.

The main living room sits upstairs to make the most of the view. Large picture windows fill the room with light, while glazed doors open onto a wide decked balcony running across the front of the house. With outdoor seating and a dining table for ten, it is an excellent place for long breakfasts, evening drinks and meals overlooking the coast.

Downstairs, the bedrooms open onto a more private part of the house, including a conservatory and large enclosed garden. One twin bedroom has its own separate access, making it particularly useful for grandparents, older children or another couple who would appreciate a little more independence.

Thurlestone's beaches, golf course, village pub and shop are all around a quarter of a mile away. The South West Coast Path is equally accessible, while Bantham, Hope Cove, Salcombe and Kingsbridge are all within easy reach.

For groups looking for a large South Devon holiday home with exceptional sea views and plenty within walking distance, Fiferail is a particularly strong choice.

Bedrooms & Bathrooms at Fiferail

Fiferail has five bedrooms spread across the upper and lower levels of the house.

The arrangement consists of two super king-size bedrooms and three twins, giving larger groups plenty of permanent sleeping space without relying on temporary beds.

Group Accommodation Layout

Bedroom Sleeping Arrangement Bathroom
Bedroom 1 6ft super king-size bed Bathroom nearby
Bedroom 2 6ft super king-size bed Family bathroom nearby
Bedroom 3 Two 3ft single beds Bathroom nearby
Bedroom 4 Two 3ft single beds Bathroom nearby
Bedroom 5 Two 3ft single beds Wet room nearby

Bedroom 1 sits beside the main living area upstairs and enjoys double-aspect coastal views.

Bedroom 2 is downstairs and also benefits from large picture windows.

Bedroom 3 opens into the conservatory, which in turn leads directly into the garden.

Bedroom 5 is reached through the utility area and sits slightly apart from the other bedrooms. It also has a Juliet balcony and separate access from the front of the house.

How does the layout work for a group of 10?

Two couples can take the super king-size bedrooms, leaving six separate beds across the three twins.

This works particularly well for two families, grandparents travelling with children and grandchildren or a group of friends who prefer individual beds.

The more independent fifth bedroom also gives the group flexibility if someone would benefit from a quieter area of the house.

Bathroom Layout

Fiferail has four bathroom facilities.

  • Upper-floor bathroom with bath and shower over
  • Ground-floor family bathroom with bath and shower over
  • Additional bathroom with power shower over bath
  • Wet room with power shower and underfloor heating

The number of bathrooms is a major advantage for a property sleeping ten.

Location & Things to Do Near Fiferail

Fiferail sits in Thurlestone, one of the South Hams' most attractive coastal villages. Its location makes it easy to combine beach days, walking and golf without spending much of the holiday in the car.

Several sandy beaches lie close to the village. Thurlestone Sands and Leas Foot provide sheltered places for swimming and family beach days, while South Milton Sands stretches along the coast beneath the distinctive arch of Thurlestone Rock. Rock pools, paddleboarding and kayaking add plenty of variety around the bay.

The South West Coast Path runs close to the house and gives walkers excellent options in both directions. Head west towards Bantham for wide views across Bigbury Bay and the Avon Estuary, or follow the coast east towards Hope Cove and Bolt Tail.

Thurlestone Golf Club is only around a quarter of a mile away and occupies a superb clifftop and links-style position overlooking the sea. Keen golfers can therefore walk to the course from the house rather than organising cars for every round.

Bantham is particularly popular with surfers and families, while Hope Cove offers two beaches, pubs and cafés in a former fishing village setting.

Kingsbridge is around five miles away and provides supermarkets, independent shops, cafés and restaurants. Salcombe is a similar distance in the opposite direction, with a busy harbour, sailing, boat hire and passenger ferries across to the beaches of East Portlemouth.

For guests staying at Fiferail, the strength of the location is how many different South Devon experiences can be enjoyed within a relatively small area.
