The Old Engine House
The Old Engine House is barn conversion within Rowden Court, set amongst the beautiful countryside. This cottage offers a comfortable feel and benefits from a spacious open-plan kitchen. Guests are welcome to make use of the shared, communal 1.5 acre landscaped gardens, tennis court, barbeque area, laundry and games room.
This part of the South Hams, offers many opportunities to explore on foot with the South West Coast Path only a 10 minute walk away and beautiful walks can be enjoyed along the Yealm Estuary, with stunning views across Newton Ferrers.

It provides excellent bathing areas for not just people, but also dogs and at low tide you can walk across the Erme estuary to Wonwell Beach- not forgetting the Schoolhouse, serving delicious, locally sourced food.
