The details

Perched at the top of a wooded valley with spectacular sea views from every aspect, Rooks is a newly built and uniquely designed house just 80 metres from the spectacular coastline of Devon. Providing a magical, light-filled space and all of the amenities to ensure a perfect romantic stay, you will be guaranteed a luxurious getaway whatever the season and weather.

The main open-plan living area is a stylish, airy space perfect for relaxing and enjoying the company of your special someone. The fully equipped kitchen, living room and bedroom all blend into a light and seamless space where you can chill out in front of the 65-inch smart TV or create delicious meals for two. Or just marvel at the stunning views from an open-plan dining area, where you can gaze out to sea over a glass of wine. A cosy log burner and underfloor heating will keep you snug throughout the cooler months.

The bedroom, which features a sumptuous super-king size bed and plenty of storage space, can be separated from the living area by a large sliding wall or left open for relaxing and watching TV in bed.

A luxury bathroom off the bedroom features a walk-in shower and an impressive freestanding stone bath and boasts outstanding views over its own private deck and the ocean beyond.

Large sliding doors open up the whole of the property to the stunning, private sun deck, bringing the outside inside, with magnificent views over Start Bay and out to sea. The deck has been designed on stilts to give the feeling of being high up in the canopy overlooking the dramatic coastline below. On the deck, you will find something for every mood. Sunbeds, dining furniture, a kamado BBQ, an outdoor heated shower and a wood-fired hot tub will provide you with a luxurious holiday experience and unforgettable memories. Guests can also relax and unwind in their very own private sauna.

RooksNest is located near the traditional English village of Stoke Fleming with its excellent local pub, village shop and a number of eateries. Located on the coast in the picturesque South Hams area of South Devon, you can reach Dartmouth with its world-class restaurants, harbour and shops within five minutes. It’s also a short hop to Blackpool Sands, one of Devon's finest and most beautiful breaches. Nearby Totnes has a weekly market, eclectic independent shops and vibrant arts and alternative lifestyle scene and is also the gateway to Dartmoor with stunning scenery, ancient tors and forests to explore.

Just returned from a 4 nights stay at RooksNest. The hut was great. Great style and design features. Good quality fittings and light and spacious space. We were fortunate to have great weather so didn’t need to use the log burner, but could imagine it would be very cozy in the winter months. The sauna and hot tub were great and easy to use. We didn’t get around to using the outdoor BBQ but again in the summer this place would be awesome too with its outside facilities and sun bathing deck. We loved that the creators had consider the eco features and the car charging point was great to have at the property. There is a very tiny lane up to the property. We arrived late evening in the dark. It was tight for a wide car, so I’d recommend arriving in good light so you can suss out the driveway. There is not much in the small village of stoke Fleming, but enough for a meal at a lovely Italian, a pub and a post office, plus a great beach very close by. Rooks Nest was a great find on Coolstays and we were given a discount as booked last minute. I would highly recommend this private holiday rental.

Every aspect of this stay is amazing. Me and my partner stayed here for her 30th. We were both blown away by the quality of everything, from the construction and space to the appliances and small finishes. Left speechless by the tranquility of the area and the awe at the views, it immediately feels like you are somewhere very special. The hot tub and sauna are easy to use, high quality and very clean. The well-stocked log store on site was also a very good touch. All elements feel luxurious and it seems great thought and effort has been given to cater the small things that you may need during your stay. No trips to the shops to get dishwasher tablets etc. The cooking facilities are excellent and Richard was available during our stay, with very good communication and extremely friendly. We spoke to the guests staying at the other chalet on site and we all agreed that this might be the only time we've not wanted to leave the accomodation while on holiday. Every moment spent trying to enjoy yourselves elsewhere feels inferior to the luxury of the Rooks Nest, feeling a pull to return at the earliest opportunity. My girlfriend suffers with debilitating eczema, to the point that water and heat are big triggers of inflammation normally. I don't know if it was the climate, water or air but as soon as we arrived, her skin began to clear up and gave her an unprecedented level of relief that we had not seen before, nor since. I cannot recommend the Rooks Nest enough, utterly outstanding.
