The Mews is the perfect couples retreat. Situated on Lambside Farm, this lovely detached stone building was originally a barn and home to a domesticated gos hawk. Named in honour of its former resident, it has been thoughtfully renovated to provide delightful, modern accommodation for two people.
Although it is just across the lane from Shepherd's Cottage, The Mews has been arranged to give complete seclusion and offers an open plan living area downstairs with a woodburner, and a modern kitchen with a small dining area.There is also a small cloakroom downstairs with a toilet and basin. Outside is a delightful secluded patio and garden with your own private wooden wood fired hot tub - so romantic!

A really delightful place to stay - our second visit to Carswell and we continue to be so impressed with the quality and attention to detail of everything about the cottages. The pre-holiday info is totally comprehensive and really useful - all the furnishings and equipment are of the highest standard and everything about the place makes you want to return....which we will

We spent an idyllic 5 days at Lambside House with our family and our very well behaved dog. The house was extremely clean and well equipped, we felt very welcome when we arrived as there were flowers on the table and a personal message to greet us alongside some farm eggs and some provisions in the fridge. If you are looking for a relaxed, getaway from the world holiday, we would certainly recommend Carswell Cottages. Lambside is spacious and decorated in a tasteful style, the garden is restful with good views and the beach is within walking distance.

Excellent stay in a deserted part of south Devon......amazing scenery......found the private secluded beach without too much trouble....we made it down and back with our 8 year old cocker poo......not bad for a couple of 70 year oldsđ
Fantastic walks on the doorstep......in fact the car didnât move the whole time.
We stayed in shepherd cottage, it was very well equipped and 2 excellent bathrooms.
A great secure garden for the dog.......with a lovely back drop View.
Would have rated 5 star except the double bed was extremely hard.......but with great bed linen and soft towels

Amazing!! The Beach Hut is everything you could wish for and more if your looking to go off-grid and re-connect as a couple. Cosy and quirky with all the essentials you need. A beautiful little hideaway with stunning views.....perfection by the sea! Sipping bubbles in the hot tub under the stars, chilling in the hammock watching the waves crashing over the rocks, playing games, dancing in the rain and taking in the perfection that the Beach Hut offers. Loved it so much that I booked for next year as soon as we had phone reception. The hampers selection is great too, food is locally sourced, fresh

We had a 8 night stay in The Mews - it was exactly what we needed to get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Dawn was great throughout the booking process and very accommodating as we had to change our plans 3 times due to the COVID restrictions that were being announced almost daily at the time. This lead to us coming earlier than planned and Dawn even cleaned the cottage on Christmas Eve so we could come as the cleaners were off for Xmas.
The cottage was cosy and has everything you could need for a remote stay, despite being remote the WiFi is strong and has great speed. There

Its our 4th time to Carswell Cottages. Loved every time ⤠stayed twice at Lambside and also in Shepherds Cottage and The Lodge. All beautiful and clean with everything we needed. The local area is gorgeous, lots of lovely beaches, coastal walks and pubs! The Ship Inn at Noss Mayo highly recommend. We love to go in early Spring or Autumn when the dogs can go on the beaches and its not so crowded. We will definitely be back next year.

My husband and I stayed a week in The Lodge during the
HOT September weather. We had the most wonderful week. Dawn went above and beyond in her help and generosity, including when i left my glasses behind..they arrived at my home next day! The Lodge is unique- i loved the details of the woodwork. So comfortable and charming - beautiful decor and pretty private garden. Very enjoyable pub lunches and beaches - hope to return!

We stayed in the amazing beach hut and had a wonderful time. It is a real away from it all and gave a special recovery time from working throughout covid19 pandemic. The views, sea, coastal walks and weather were superb, was pleased to go for a dip in the sea which is amazing in December! The hot tub was heavenly too. When we got home many people remarked at how we 'glowed' and looked rested. Highly recommend the beach hut and the friendly carswell staff.
