From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the lush gardens, bursting with wildflowers and birdsong, making it impossible not to slow down and soak up the peace of this Devon retreat. Inside, The Wild Hare is a dream – effortlessly stylish yet wonderfully cosy. The interiors offer the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort, with warm wooden beams, soft lighting, and carefully chosen details that make it feel instantly like home. The kitchen area was a particular highlight – beautifully designed and fully equipped, perfect for our lazy breakfasts and relaxed homemade suppers with local produce from the farm shop nearby.

Kingsbridge Travel

How to get to Kingsbridge Kingsbridge is a beautiful Devon town in a stunning location, sitting at the head of the Salcombe estuary (which is actually a ria). This charming market town is loved by locals and visitors alike – and it just keeps giving! Think independent local shops, great deli cafes, award-winning restaurants and the beautiful quay with its moorings, popular with stand-up paddleboarders. The town has regular monthly farmers’ markets, arts and crafts markets in the town hall and some newly-emerging antique shops. So, you’ve booked your luxury holiday home in Kingsbridge and are considering how to get there, here’s a quick rundown of Kingsbridge travel options. Flying to Kingsbridge Exeter and Bristol airports are the closest. You can fly into Exeter from Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Guernsey, Dublin, Belfast  City, Jersey, Isles of Scilly and numerous European cities.

From London, you can either come along the M4 and join the M5 at Bristol or take the M3/A303/A30 route and join the M5 at Exeter. The M5 converges into the A38 where you take the right-hand lane for Haldon Hill. Kingsbridge is easily accessed from this dual carriageway which links Plymouth and Exeter. Continue along the road with the slopes of Dartmoor on your right until you reach signs for Totnes and Kingsbridge, the slip road to your left takes you onto the A384. You don’t drive through Totnes town (but worth a visit during your stay), instead follow the A381 signposted for Dartmouth and Kingsbridge. The drive from Bristol will take around 2 hours and around 4.5 hours from London, depending on traffic.  Kingsbridge by train Totnes is just 13 miles from Kingsbridge and it’s the nearest railway station with regular trains running from London Paddington, the north, Wales and Birmingham.
