The Old Shop House
Entire cottage in Galmpton, United Kingdom
The space
A surprising hidden gem and located in the heart of the picturesque village of Galmpton, The Old Shop House is a charming 3-bedroom property that combines traditional charm with contemporary features. The property, along with two of its neighbours, used to form the main shop in the village and the owners have slowly been restoring its original features.As you step inside the property you climb the staircase to the first floor where you find the cosy lounge with a feature fireplace with alcoves either side and two plush sofas arranged around a matching pouffe. A wonderful place to sit and relax in the evening either reading a book borrowed from the bookshelf, catching up on a programme on the SMART TV or listening to a podcast on the Sonos system. Tasteful artwork and soft lighting create an inviting atmosphere.
The modern kitchen is equipped with high-end appliances, including a large oven with gas hob, integrated dishwasher, fridge freezer as well as a wine cooler. Wooden worktops and an inset sink add to the charm along with a wooden dining table with chairs for up to 6 guests. The rear door leads out to the first of the outside spaces with an enclosed courtyard with seating.
Ascending the stairs to the upper floors, you'll discover the three bedrooms. On the second floor you have two bedrooms, one furnished with a kingsize bed and enjoying some views over the village and the other furnished with a 2' 6 single bed. On this level you will also find the family bathroom with large walk-in shower cubicle, wc and washbasin.
The third bedroom is accessed up a spiral staircase to the top floor housing a spacious bedroom with kingsize and a single bed, perfect for families and the skylights brighten the room and offer views over the village and the raised terrace garden at the rear.
The highlight of the property is the rear outside terrace accessed via the courtyard and up a flight of external steps. The terrace is beautifully designed for entertaining with a comfortable outdoor dining area and, for the experienced pizza enthusiast, a large outdoor pizza oven.

The cottage was quaint and very clean. Need a car as not a lot around the area. But would definitely book again. The only negative I can say is the stairs to the attic bedroom is very slippery. So be careful going down in socks. Other than that I can’t fault the home. Very homely and clean.

Lovely property, as described, lots of little touches like biscuits on arrival and good quality kitchen ware very much appreciated. Clean and tidy throughout. Parking is tricky, but this is on the listing and to be expected when staying in a small village in this area. We managed to get by with parking on the roads nearby.

Our stay was phenomenal overall. The property was as described, spacious enough for the 5 of us and had all the basics we needed for a great stay. Lots of supermarkets & petrol stations within a 10 minute drive from the property. The area and neighbours were lovely. Walking distance to Galmpton Creek, a lovely, scenic walk/run to Broadsands beach. 10 minute drive to local town centres like Paignton and Brixham. Dartmoor National Park was easy to get to by car. Street parking was easy to find near the property. Helpful communication from the hosts. The only thing I would say is a couple of mirrors, perhaps a full length mirror in the house would have been appreciated. Otherwise a wonderful stay, and would definitely stay here again. Definitely recommend this property if you are coming to stay in Devon.
