South Milton is an ancient little town that sits within an Area of Outstanding Beauty in South Devon close to Thurlestone and Hope Cove. The village is rural but there is always something going on. That said South Milton is all about nature and the outdoors. Nature lovers will fall in love with the beautiful local sands, the serene landscapes and abundant wildlife, especially around the wetlands that back onto the beach. The beach itself is splendid in every way; the waves are majestic, the bird life is plentiful and if you’re lucky you might spot a few dolphins or whales off shore. Then there’s the ‘Thurlestone Rock’, which is a huge arch that juts out of the water.

This is a great family beach with excellent facilities and services, including a gastro pub and a surfing school. Here you’ll find a selection of holiday cottages in South Milton by the beach with children welcome, ideal for family friendly holidays in Devon. To book one of these budget cottages in South Milton simply contact the owner or property manager direct.
