Yellow Sands - a house that sleeps 10 guests in 5 bedrooms | Cottage in Thurlestone
5 Bedroom Cottage in Thurlestone
Tucked away in the picturesque village of Thurlestone, Yellow Sands is a charming coastal hideaway that perfectly balances seaside simplicity with all the little luxuries that make a holiday special. Designed with family gatherings and holidays with friends in mind, the house offers spacious luxury light-filled interiors and breathtaking views over the rolling sands and sparkling sea beyond.
The view from Yellow Sands over Thurlestone is nothing short of breathtaking, a true feast for the eyes that captures the essence of South Devon's natural beauty. From this vantage point, you're greeted by a sweeping panorama of golden sands meeting the deep blue of the Atlantic, with the iconic Thurlestone Rock arch rising majestically from the waves in the distance.
Framing the scene are rolling green hills that cascade gently toward the coastline, dotted with wildflowers and grazing sheep, adding a pastoral charm to the rugged seascape. On clear days, the horizon seems endless, with the sunlight dancing on the water and painting reflections across the water.
The heart of the home is the large, open-plan living and dining area, where soft tones, natural textures, and warm wooden accents create an inviting and calming atmosphere. Expansive windows and window seats frame the ever-changing coastal landscape, flooding the space with light and bringing the outdoors in. Escape to the family snug with cosy sofas for catching up on that holiday novel. Snuggle down on the beanbags in the family games room for movies or even a game of Table Tennis for the competitive ones in the group. Doors open on to the private decked area with outdoor sofas and chairs for that sundowner marvelling at the glorious sunsets, catching up after a busy day in this coastal paradise.
The fully equipped spacious kitchen is perfect for preparing everything from hearty breakfasts to indulgent evening feasts, with enough space for everyone to gather and chat over a glass of wine. The stunning dining area will encourage long laughter filled suppers or family breakfast feasts. Sample the local fare of organic meats and glorious seafood available from this Devon coastline. A useful Utility room is perfect for all the sandy swimsuits.
Upstairs, the beautiful bedrooms are havens of comfort, each styled with soothing coastal hues, crisp linens, and thoughtful details to ensure a restful night's sleep. The master bedroom boasts sweeping sea views, the kind that make you want to linger in bed with that morning tea just a little longer, while other rooms offer cosy spaces for friends, children and extra guests. Modern bathrooms with polished stone finishes add a touch of luxury, perfect for unwinding after long sandy days at the beach.
Outside, the large terrace and garden provide the ideal space for al fresco dining, sunset drinks, wrapped in blankets around the firepit, simply relaxing while soaking up the coastal air. In the evenings, the outdoor dining space is the perfect spot to gather with friends and family, share stories of the day, and toast to unforgettable memories as the sun sets over the water. It's a place where every evening becomes a moment to savour, where conversations flow as easily as the wine, and where the beauty of nature is always the star of the show.
The cosy annexe in the grounds, sleeping two in a superking bed, is thoughtfully designed to feel like a home-from-home, a kitchenette, breakfast table, all perfect for those in the group who are seeking privacy, or just some peace and quiet. Wake up to soft coastal light streaming through the windows, sip your morning coffee on the patio while watching the waves roll planning your day ahead – perhaps a clifftop walk along the South West Coast Path, a dip in the sea, or a round of golf on one of the area's finest courses just a short stroll away.
With golden sands just a stone's throw away, Yellow Sands is more than a beautiful house – it's a coastal sanctuary where memories are made. Whether you're a beachcomber, a foodie looking to sample fresh local seafood, or just a family in need of a slower pace of life, Yellow Sands offers the ultimate retreat to recharge, reconnect, and soak up the beauty of Devon's coast.
It's the kind of outlook that invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and simply admire nature's artistry – a view that stays with you long after you've left.
