At the west side of the cottage is an orchard, also with lovely views space for playing, paths up through the rocks and hidden seats for sunbathing and reading..

The cottage has always been a family cottage with a happy feel and an individual style. The rooms are spacious and the furniture is comfortable and cottage style. The walls are covered with pictures. The sitting room is large and bright and has a lovely open fire with night storage & electric heaters for backup. The bookshelves are full of light reading. There is a panoramic view of the Channel. The kitchen is large and has a round table for family eating.

The cottage is an ideal rental for families who want a well-equipped self-catering option, sleeping 8+, (there are beds for 7 adults, 2 children, a spare single mattress and a cot, so if all guests are adults 8 would be maximum but up to 10 with children) but equally delightful for a couple or small group. Good for beach holidays (numerous beaches), walking (the West Coastal Path of South Devon), sailing and activities, and also winter breaks as there is good heating and a log fire.

There are 2 fridges, a freezer compartment, an electric stove and also a dishwasher, a washing machine and a tumble dryer. All rooms except the small childrens' bedroom also have a view of the sea. There are electric heaters in the bedrooms and heaters and open fire in the sitting room.

The two main bedrooms are double rooms - large, light and airy, facing the sea. There is a smaller back room with child size twin beds (no view) and another twin bedroom with a view facing west. There is a bathroom and a shower room, both have toilets and underfloor heating. A lovely garden, terraces, orchard, table for eating out, and as we are at the end of the village, we are totally secluded and no one passes by.

Sleeps 7-10
2 double bedrooms. 1 of the double bed bedrooms also has a single bed
1 twin room
1 small twin room with child-size beds
1 bathroom with toilet and basin
1 shower room with toilet and basin
1 travel cot
1 high chair

There is a large garden with an orchard, with room for children to play and camp. Paths to seats above the house give wonderful views over the seascape. You can sit up there and read where no one can find you. Sometimes at spring half term lambs are born in the field in front. Big sailing boats, or once a Russian style submarine, and even the Royal yacht Britannia when it still existed, pass quite close in front. The sea and sky change constantly and there is always something to watch. There is a micro-climate at East Prawle and often the wind holds the clouds back over the land and we can have sun in Prawle on cloudy days.

The nearest beach, Horsley, is roughly 1/2 mile's walk away down a steep hill. There are many glorious beaches, some sandy, some rocky, some shingle, some accessible by car, all along the coast. You can take your pick and vary the beach you go to each day, if you like.

“There is no better reason to stay than the view!!!”

Fab location in a village we have stayed in for the last 11 years, with the rest of the family visiting for the last 25 years plus!!! Cottage is lovely and well equipped but the best feature has to be sitting outside the front door and just looking at the view!

Thank you! So glad you had a good time. Yes, the view is amazing - just fields, sea and sky and no-one passing by.

“Lovely family cottage”

Reviewed 14 April 2016 for a stay in April 2016

We had a lovely week in this cottage that has the feel of a well-loved family holiday home. The location is wonderful. Walks from the cottage are amazing. Just sitting inside with the log fire burning looking out at the sea is pretty good too.

Thanks Rowland and I'm so glad you had a good time. Sitting with the log fire burning looking at the sea is my favourite occupation too. Do come back soon!

“Relaxing step back in time with beautiful views thrown in :)”

Reviewed 2 June 2015 for a stay in May 2015

We visited Foss cottage after staying in a nearby smaller cottage over many years so we knew what to expect from East Prawle and the fantastic views over the Channel and were not disappointed. A truly lovely place to relax, unwind and get away from the rat race. If you cant enjoy yourself without Wifi, TV, radio or phone signals,...
