The Haven is a 19th century house but with all the comforts of a modern home including underfloor heating, a comfortable living room and a spacious, light-filled kitchen/dining room. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are finished to a high standard. There is an enclosed but sunny back garden with lawn and decking. Set in a charming South Hams village (boasting two pubs), we are perfectly situated for easy access to the beautiful countryside, Dartmoor and local beaches.

I was born and grew up in South West Devon and still have family there. My husband and I are delighted to have bought our own house only a few miles from my childhood home, so that we can have our own family base in the South Hams and can show our children the best of this beautiful part of the world. When we are not using The Haven, we rent it out so that others can enjoy the unique location, sandwiched between the coast and Dartmoor.

Ugborough is a picturesque village in the beautiful South Hams. It is peaceful with no main road going through it but it is a thriving community, with a pre-school, school, church and two pubs, both of which are very close to The Haven - come out the front door and turn left or right for The Ship or The Anchor respectively. Please note: there is no shop in Ugborough but Ermington has a brilliant village shop and cafe, and Ivybridge has a Co-op and a Tesco Express (both Ermington and Ivybridge are only 3 miles away). There is also an enormous Tescos at Lee Mill which is 10 minutes down the A38. The House Manual has all the details of shops and nearest towns. Ugborough is ideally situated for Dartmoor (only 5 minutes drive) and the beautiful beaches of the South Hams (Mothecombe, our favourite, is 20 minutes drive and Bigbury/Burgh Island is about 25 minutes). You really need a car when staying in Ugborough in order to make the most of the area. There are buses but only once a week.
