Photos and Description of this Dartmouth holiday cottage 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1shower-room, sleeps 6

The former home of author A.A.Milne's real life character Christopher Robin, the self-catering cottage is set in a picturesque valley, a short walk down a delightful lane from Blackpool Sands with its excellent beach cafe and shop and 3/4 mile from the nearest pub and shop. It provides a wonderful location for a family summer holiday rental and is also a romantic getaway for couples outside of the peak summer months. Good sized rooms are comfortably and tastefully furnished to a high standard with a wood-burning stove in the sitting room. French windows lead on to a patio and a 3/4 acre wildlife garden carpeted with daffodils and bluebells in the Spring. The cottage has been awarded a FOUR STAR Visit Britain Quality in Tourism Rating. An arrangement with the nearby Dartmouth Golf & Country Club (10/15 minutes drive) enables guests to use their leisure club (including swimming pool, sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and gymnasium) and two golf courses at a 25% discounted rate.

Winter Break

Mac & Elaine Normans Bay East Sussex
Review Submitted: November 10, 2009 Date of Stay: November 2009
What a beautiful cottage ! We only spent 4 days there but had a wonderful time . We toured around the local countryside and had wonderful lunches each day at different restaurants ( there were so many to choose from ) returning to the cottage in the evening and relaxing with a bottle of wine or two around the fire . The cottage had a very homely feel and I'm sure we will be back .

Magical Bluebells and spring flowers in April

Bluebell Girl London
Review Submitted: May 11, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Staying in Alice Cottage in April we found an unexpected treat in the garden - camelias, azaleas and hellibores with bluebells and rhodedenrons.

The fact that we could walk down a quiet lane to Blackpool Sands without the need for a car with a 3 and 6 yr old was an added bonus.

A truly wonderful place to stay.

Xmas getaway

Cpl_Hicks London
Review Submitted: January 6, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
A group of 4 of us rented out Alice Cottage over the Xmas holidays, looking to get away from the city. It is in a wonderful location, that feels off-the-beaten path without being too isolated. It has a wonderful natural plot of land out the back, and pleasant country roads for on-foot exploration (though often hilly, alas!). Blackpool Sands is an easy walk away, as is Stoke Fleming.

Also a great place for exploring Devon by car, with the picturesque Dartmouth close by, and the Dartmoor national park a short trip away.

Amenities are all perfectly acceptable, the cottage is clean, and we made ourselves quite cosy upstairs in the very functional kitchen, cooking and baking Xmas treats, and enjoying the old school video collection in the living room. Do keep your blankets with you in the Winter though!

The owners were very accessible and friendly to deal with, and were kind enough to supply a Xmas tree (and a couple of greeting cards) for us.

Last but not least, it's dead quiet at night, which is great if you're after tranquility. Recommended.

Alice cottage is really a excellent place to enjoy your holiday.
The cottage is lovely with a nice garden, a good startingpoint for discovering Devon ald also the South West coastpath is nearby.
It's only a short walk to the Blackpool Sands for a good swim.

Idyllic Spot

London Wasp Horsham UK
Review Submitted: September 22, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2008
Perfect spot for rest and relaxation. A picturesque 20 walk down the lane brings you to the lovely Blackpool Sands beach. Great location for access to all nearby towns and villages and Torbay area. Very well appointed cottage with everything you need for your stay. Excellent communications with the cottage owners who couldn't be more helpful. We hope to be back again soon.
