Location
The house is located in Wembury, a quiet seaside village in the the south-west of Devon.
Wembury is a pretty and serene spot by the sea, within easy reach of nearby Plymouth. It is set on a beautiful and dramatic stretch of coastline. Its beach, owned by the National Trust but free for everyone to access, is overlooked by the beautiful old St Werburgh’s Church, and looks out onto a small island called the Mewstone. The shore is a renowned location for rockpooling and a haven for diverse marine life, including crabs, limpets and starfish. The Wembury Marine Centre is a great place to learn more, with displays and talks.
The Old Mill Cafe, right by the beach, is a great spot for picking up ice creams, teas and coffees, and serves light meals. Further up in the village, the charming Odd Wheel Inn serves a good range of pub meals, plus a selection of real ales. Besides the facilities available in the village itself, you’re a short drive or bus journey from the centre of Plymouth and close to south Devon’s many other coastal delights.
