Wow, I have never been to South Hams before, or indeed stayed at such a lovely place ( both the Lawns and the Colmer estate). So if I am honest was a little hesitant at what we would find. But I need not have worried, The Colmer estate is beautiful ( even when the weather is against you)..The indoor pool is heated to a perfect temperature and even when you get out to get changed you don't get the usual chill, it was immaculate and we spent each morning there.
The tennis courts were great fun, and the views, walks and streams all over the estate were great and beautiful to see so much wildlife.I would definitely though recommend wellingtons if there has been some rain :-).
which then brings me to where we stayed. - Wow! This place was beautiful everything had been thought of, from the welcome package all the way through the apartment.
The place is clean, beautifully decorated, light airy has everything you could need- you relax the moment you enter the building. A quick overview -
Overall the place was extremely clean, had all the cutlery, crockery, glassware you could want. A washing machine, oven and microwave all immaculate.
The kitchen itself is very roomy and you could easily sit at the dining table whilst someone still pottering in the kitchen.
The sofas are comfy and the lots of room in the front room, and if you get the chance to open the patio doors ( we managed on 2 days) a very lovely sun trap.
The bathroom was clean, and everything worked. The hot water was exactly that hot.with a great pressure and the towels left, were proper sized towels, and all soft and fluffy..
The bedrooms, were very tastefully decorated with loads of storage/wardrobe space for hanging things up.
The 2nd bedroom had some children books which we made use of as Dr Seuss is a new favourite.lol.
And most importantly the beds were comfortable and there were enough pillows plus spares so you could have as many or as few as you wished.
All in all a fantastic relaxing break - just what we needed. As I said the weather was against us most of the time, but that did not deter a fantastic break and would highly recommend it.
Will be back
