ANCHOR Boathouse 🌊👌🏻It was a complete dream to spend a few sun-drenched days at Anchor Boathouse - a gorgeous new waterfront property from @finest_stays with a dreamy position on the Kingsbridge Estuary in South Devon. Estuary views don’t get much better, with direct access down to the shore - perfect for paddleboarding, and brilliantly positioned for exploring the wider area, including Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes, Bantham and Bigbury-on-Sea.The house itself has undergone a complete transformation, and is flooded with light through floor-to-ceiling windows framing estuary views from every angle - it embodies a real holiday vibe - the kind of space that makes it easy to while away the days. Just 15 minutes’ walk takes you into the centre of Kingsbridge, with a great pub on route - The Crabshell which is easily walkable for lunch or supper. There’s also the acclaimed Millbrook Inn, reachable by boat. It was a joy to paddleboard, swim, relax in the hot tub, dine on the terrace and watch Wimbledon in the cinema room - a real highlight for us tennis fans!Kingsbridge itself is a pretty town, offering a slower pace of coastal living, with an array of independent shops, waterside dining and a strong sense of local character. It also serves as a gateway to the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with easy access to nearby spots including Salcombe, Bantham and Hope Cove.Summer staycations in Devon really don’t get much better than this! 🌞🌊Thank you so much @finest_stays hosting us @sue_cade 🩵________ #waterside #visitdevon #boathouse #estuaryviews #travelwriter by @finest_stays
