Sea Lavender - a house that sleeps 9 guests in 5 bedrooms

Cradled in the idyllic coastal village of Thurlestone, Sea Lavender is a soul-stirring thatched hideaway where golden days unfold by the sea and time slips gently by with the tide. With soft sands underfoot and salt-kissed air swirling through hedgerows, this enchanting home is the very essence of a South Devon escape - where families gather, barefoot adventures begin, and the simple joy of coastal living takes centre stage.
Once an old village home and now lovingly reimagined for modern-day comfort, Sea Lavender balances heritage charm with relaxed open interiors. Think original beams, gently sloping ceilings, and sunlit spaces made for long, laughter-filled afternoons. Inside, the generous layout flows with ease - from cosy reading corners to the light-filled kitchen and a detached studio perfect for children's film nights and quiet retreat. Children will love the space to roam and play.

The country-style kitchen is welcoming and practical - an inviting space where slow breakfasts are savoured and family meals come together with ease. Light pours through the windows, illuminating soft stone surfaces and thoughtful touches that make cooking a pleasure, whether you're preparing a picnic for the beach or a roast after a windswept walk along the coast.
Leading off the kitchen, the sun-drenched conservatory offers a gentle, light-filled space to dine. Surrounded by leafy views and the scent of fresh sea air, it's the perfect spot for long, leisurely lunches or late suppers that linger into evening.
With two separate lounges, there's space for everyone to unwind in their own way. One is warm and cosy, ideal for curling up with a good book or playing board games beside the fire. The other offers a more open, elegant feel - just right for morning coffee, quiet conversations, or simply relaxing in the peace and comfort of this charming Devon home.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are a restful blend of comfort and character - each thoughtfully styled with cosy linens, calming tones, and subtle coastal touches that reflect the home's timeless charm. Light filters through cottage windows, casting a warm glow over wooden floors and vintage-inspired furnishings, creating spaces that feel both uplifting and deeply restful.
With room for families and friends to unwind in their own corners, the layout is perfectly suited to group stays, offering a mix of double and twin rooms that feel inviting for all ages. Whether it's children drifting off after beachside adventures or grown-ups enjoying a peaceful night's sleep, every room offers its own quiet retreat.
Two well-appointed family bathrooms and an ensuite provide convenience and comfort, with deep bathtubs, fluffy towels, and plenty of space for post-beach clean-ups and bedtime routines.
Tucked just beyond the main house, the pretty garden studio offers a charming self-contained space, perfect for guests seeking a little extra privacy or a cosy hideaway for older children. Thoughtfully furnished and full of natural light, it sleeps two comfortably - ideal for grandparents, teens, or visiting friends.
With a sofa, a collection of classic DVDs, and a relaxed, home-from-home feel, it's also the ultimate den for movie nights, quiet reading, or a peaceful afternoon escape. Whether used for sleep or play, the studio adds an extra layer of flexibility and charm to this already delightful coastal retreat.
Outside, a private world awaits. Palm-fringed courtyards and flower-filled gardens offer spaces to dine, unwind, and savour the Devon sunshine - morning coffee, lazy lunches, and evenings lit by soft candlelight all find their place here. And with the beach, coastal path, tennis courts, golf course and The Village Inn just a stroll away, every day invites a new story.
Whether exploring tidal rockpools, walking to Bantham with sand between your toes, or curling up by the fire with your dog at your feet, Sea Lavender offers a sense of home and the irresistible call of the sea - all wrapped in the timeless magic of the South Hams.
