Nestled in the heart of the South Hams, Kingsbridge is a picturesque market town that serves as a gateway to the serene beauty of the Devonshire coast. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush countryside, and meandering estuaries, Kingsbridge offers a quintessential English escape with a touch of coastal charm.

From the town centre, guests can explore a landscape rich in natural beauty. The Salcombe estuary is just a stone’s throw away, catch the iconic Rivermaid Ferry to Salcombe or take a paddleboard, available to hire nearby. For walkers, the estuary invites leisurely strolls along its tranquil banks, while nearby beaches like Bantham and Thurlestone offer stretches of golden sand and turquoise waters perfect for seaside picnics or sunset strolls.
