Neighbourhood information

This 12th‑century farm has been lovingly converted into 10 luxury cottages while retaining its rural charm. Set in a tranquil 14‑acre valley in the heart of the South Devon countryside—just a 10–minute drive from Torquay, Totnes, Paignton and Newton Abbot. Compton Pool is ideally placed for exploring some of South Devon’s best sandy beaches—all within a short drive. The closest is Goodrington Sands, just 4.5 miles away (around 13 minutes by car). It’s a wide, sandy beach with shallow waters, perfect for families. There are cafés nearby and even a steam train that runs along the edge of the beach—great fun for kids. Paignton Sands is only about 5 miles away and features a large sandy stretch, a traditional pier, and funfair attractions—ideal for a classic British seaside day out. Broadsands Beach is roughly 6.3 miles away. It’s quieter than the main beaches and is a favourite for paddleboarding, picnics, and safe swimming. Lastly, Blackpool Sands, a stunning curved bay with golden sand and clear water, is about 13 miles away (roughly 30 minutes by car). It’s slightly further afield but well worth the trip for its natural beauty—though note it has restrictions on dogs during the summer.
