Luxury Devon Cottage with Hot tub

Set in South Milton, 5 minutes from the beach, Collacott is a beautifully restored 16th-century former schoolhouse — thick stone walls, thatched roof, and quiet history throughout. Four individual ensuite bedrooms, farmhouse kitchen built around the Aga, and a log-burner sitting room layered in soft, natural tones. Outside, a private garden with cedarwood hot tub and gazebo, ready for long lunches and slow evenings. A house of real character, where comfort and quiet style sit easily together. The space Set in the idyllic and much sought-after village of South Milton, just five minutes from the soft sands of South Milton Beach, Collacott is a beautifully restored 16th-century home with a rich and storied past — a truly exceptional luxury holiday cottage in Devon. Once the village school, the house carries its history with quiet confidence — thick stone walls, a traditional thatched roof and a sense of permanence that only time can create. Inside, it has been thoughtfully reimagined into a deeply stylish and atmospheric retreat, where heritage and design sit effortlessly side by side, creating a refined Devon holiday home of rare character. There are four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, and each entirely individual in character. From beautifully crafted headboards to handmade curtains in richly textured, carefully sourced fabrics, every detail has been considered. Antique pieces sit comfortably alongside more contemporary touches, while the artwork throughout creates a gentle sense of narrative — each room revealing something new, drawing you further in. At the heart of the home, the farmhouse kitchen feels both traditional and quietly luxurious, centred around the Aga and complemented by thoughtful modern additions. It's a space designed as much for slow mornings as it is for long, relaxed suppers. Just beyond, a practical boot room makes returning from the beach or countryside walks effortlessly easy. The sitting room is deeply inviting, with its original features intact. A large log burner anchors the space, while generous, sink-in sofas are layered with soft textures and natural tones — a room that feels both grounding and restorative. Outside, the garden is private and gently enclosed, with the feel of a classic country cottage garden. A cedarwood hot tub adds a note of indulgence, while the beautifully constructed wooden pergola offers a more considered outdoor living space — ideal for long lunches, slow evenings or simply unwinding with a drink. It can be enclosed and heated, extending its use well beyond the summer months. Collacott is a house with real depth — a place where every corner has been thoughtfully composed, yet nothing feels overdone. It offers that rare balance of character, comfort and quiet, confident style.
