In acres of mature woodland, Tony Pithers and Gordon Craig’s uber-modern home (one of five ‘butterfly’ houses in Devon) is all curving stairways, unexpected angles and walls of glass. Each light-filled bedroom at the adults-only B&B has its own entrance and private decking area reached via steep steps. Inside, a cool modern aesthetic takes hold, with abstract art on the walls. Thoughtful extras: a mini-fridge, iPod docking station, espresso machine, fudge and home-made biscuits. Breakfast at a time to suit in the airy, open-plan dining room/kitchen overlooking the swimming pool. The menu includes freshly squeezed juices, locally baked bread, fruit compote, summer berries in season, and plenty of cooked options. ½ mile from Kingswear.
