The 45-acre Flear Estate is a picture-perfect country idyll with the added benefits of a host of the region's best beaches on the doorstep, an acclaimed, and child-friendly, gastro-pub within a pleasant mile or so's walk and an indoor pool and play area that has mini guests grinning from ear to ear come rain or shine.
Flear does family rejuvenation to a tee. Whether rambling through the woods, splashing about in the pool, messing about on the trampoline or soaking in the views from the luxurious outdoor hot tub, the hectic pace of 'normal' daily life seems to melt away within a day or two of arrival, and that's before sampling the pre-bookable beauty and massage therapies, or taking advantage of the local chef-made meal deliveries.
Cart Wheel Cottage is a charming, period stone cottage, which sleeps 4 + infants in 1 king and 1 twin bedroom. Next door to Mangers is its twin, Cartwheel. Its front door opens into a spacious living area with an inviting open fireplace. This leads on to the kitchen which contains a convenient and large kitchen island. Stairs lead from here to the upper floor with its master bedroom, an airy and bright room with exposed beams, a twin bedroom and a bathroom.

The pretty market town of Kingsbridge is within 10 minutes drive of Flear Cottages and has a great range of pubs, shops and bistros. Highly recommended are the Old Bakery for its rustic chic, family friendly interiors excellent brunch and fabulous Paella nights (Weds) with fine dining on Fri and Sat. Also, the Treehouse for pizza. For a baby-sitting worthy night out try the art deco glamour of the Burgh Island hotel, the Oyster Shack in Salcombe, the Whitehouse in Chillington, Mitch Tonks' (of Fishworks fame) Seahorse or Michelin-star winner John Burton-Race's New Angel in Dartmouth. For chic cocktails and contemporary bistro-fayre try the waterside Wildfire Bistro at Dart Marina, or try its neighbour the Floating Bridge Pub for, reportedly, the best beer-battered fish and chips in Devon!
Kingsbridge is centrally located for exploring South Devon and ideal for those watching their carbon footprint since there's an excellent bus service and a ferry from the quay to the bustling yachting town of Salcombe which, along with some good restaurants (Captain Flint's is recommended for families) and boutiques, has a good beach.
For a spot of true indulgence try a half-day spa session at the small but very luxurious Dart Marina Spa and don't miss Pennywell Farm Park or Paignton Zoological Park, both of which appear to be very well run and have dedicated play areas for pre-schoolers. Blackpool Sands, Conde Nast Traveller readers’ top rated UK family beach, is also nearby and boasts a toddler sandpit area and a quality licensed beach cafe serving healthy organic kids meals, along with local wines and snacks for adults.

From the moment kids arrive they are enchanted by Flear Country, most are splashing about in the indoor pool within minutes of arriving!! There is a large indoor play barn equipped with large trampoline, wooden swing set and toys galore - perfect for a rainy day! There are acres of outdoor space for children to enjoy together with a Davis cup tennis court, picnic area and pitch and putt and a great BBQUE area which is perfect for balmy summer evening sausage sizzles following a day of building sandcastles on one of the local blue flag beaches! The resident Flear Dartmoor ponies - Gemma and Abbie are always more than happy to be fed a tasty tit-bit. Tennis lessons and swimming lessons can be arranged in advance with the Flear office. A selection of childrens DVD's are also available to rent when little legs just need some time to relax!
