Gatehouse West on the Colmer country estate is a warm, cosy and tastefully decorated cottage. It is situated on the west side of the passageway that opens out to the large outdoor swimming pool. Very comfortably furnished, the cottage enjoys a warm, south facing garden and is perfect for couples and families wanting to have facilities but also a peaceful and tranquil setting.

The stone built cottage is set in 28 acres of private grounds that include woodland, a fishing lake and meadows. There is a large communal heated outdoor swimming pool (heated late May to the end of August) and an indoor pool that is heated and open from beginning of April until the end of the October half term which is normally beginning of November.

As well as the woods and pasture there is a lovely walled garden giving children a safe place to play. It is also a peaceful and sheltered spot to read and relax. Colmer is centrally situated in the heart of the South Hams, an area of outstanding beauty, within easy reach of attractive towns such as Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Dartmouth and Modbury. Beautiful beaches and envigorating coastal walks are within 20 minutes drive and Dartmoor National Park is just 8 miles away.

This is a wonderful holiday destination with fantastic facilities on the doorstep and many places within the extensive grounds of this lovely location for those seeking peace and tranquility. The California Inn is only a short walk away, as is the local Spar shop which sells most things. This is a peaceful and tranquil environment for families and couples alike.
