There is an optional charge of £20 if guests would like linen to be provided (pillow cases, duvet covers and sheets). Guests must bring their own towels and tea towels. There is also no charge for heating, apart from in winter months.
Blackpool Sands is the most popular beach in the area. Interestingly this unspoilt cove, flanked by steep wooded cliffs, was once the site of a battle in the 15th century when Devon archers repulsed a Breton invasion force sent to punish the privateers of Dartmouth for their rading across the Channel. Today of course, it offers a peaceful location for swimming and sunbathing.
