Professionally Managed by Fresh Escapes



Bramblewood is managed by Fresh Escapes, a trusted Devon-based holiday letting specialist offering personalised service, local knowledge, and a smooth, enjoyable stay. We’ll check in after your arrival and remain available whenever needed — otherwise, the home is yours to enjoy in peace.



Guest Access:

Bramblewood’s rural location means that some roads are quite narrow, and single-lane in some places (there are passing points along the way).



As you turn off the road, there’s a fairly steep drive, which curves round to the right and down to the large parking area - adequate for several cars.



The Neighborhood:

Tucked away in the quiet tranquillity of Stoketeignhead near Torquay, Bramblewood gives blissful serenity. You’re just a couple of miles from bustling Torquay, and around 5 miles from Teignmouth - with glorious beaches and clifftop views in between.



The resort towns of Torbay have something for everyone - from chic cafés and bars, casual and formal dining, traditional inns, and a wide variety of shops. Stroll along the palm-lined promenade, relax on sandy beaches and in tranquil sunspots.



It's just a few miles to the charming coastal town of Teignmouth with three beaches to enjoy. The 'Town Beach' is a long stretch of sand and shingle, perfect for relaxing, sunbathing, and building sandcastles. Take a dip in the sea or enjoy a leisurely stroll along the promenade. The sandy 'River Beach' is a popular spot for water sports such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and windsurfing. Enjoy the scenic surroundings and explore the river's estuary. The 'Back Beach', on the eastern side of town is a quieter beach with stunning views across the estuary. It's a lovely spot for a peaceful walk or to watch the sunset.



Across the river (by road or ferry) is the picturesque village of Shaldon. The sandy beach is perfect for swimming and picnicking. The Shaldon Wildlife Trust is a small but charming zoo that's home to a variety of exotic animals, including primates, reptiles, and birds. It's a great place for families and animal lovers.



For a tranquil and relaxing beach experience away from crowds, Maidencombe Beach is nestled in a picturesque cove surrounded by cliffs and greenery, offering a peaceful and serene atmosphere.



Dartmoor National Park offers vast open moorlands, ancient tors, and picturesque villages. It's an excellent destination for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and exploring the area's rich history and wildlife.



There's dining to cater for all palettes nearby. The Church House Inn in the village of Marldon is a traditional country pub serving delicious food and a selection of local ales and ciders. It offers a warm and cozy atmosphere with a menu featuring classic pub dishes.



Enjoy stunning estuary views at The Ness in Shaldon. Its popular seafood dishes made from locally caught produce are a hit with the locals, and their menu also includes meat and vegetarian options.



The Angelique Bistro in Torquay is a charming restaurant that offers a mix of French and Mediterranean cuisine. They use locally-sourced ingredients to create flavourful dishes, and the intimate setting adds to the dining experience.



From world cuisine to Devon dishes, and from action-packed to laid-back mindfulness - a stay at Bramblewood gives you the variety your holiday deserves, right on your doorstep.



Getting Around:

A car's essential for getting to and from Bramblewood. You're just 10 minutes from the sea - Maidencombe Beach's sandy cove, to Babbacombe's clifftops.
