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
The aptly named Orchard at Flear over looks the estate's apple orchard and is a large and luxurious lodge which sleeps 6 + infants in 1 king, 1 super king and 1 twin bedroom. Set in acres of beautiful country side it benefits from stunning country views along with an endless list of child friendly facilities. Guests enter into a huge open-plan living area with a stylish kitchen, complete with country style range and granite work tops, a spacious dining area and a softly furnished lounge with plasma TV and log burner for cosy nights in. As for the bedrooms each have an en-suite, however it is the master suite that is a real haven for frazzled parents, with a romantic two person shower and jacuzzi bath. Outside there is an extensive deck terrace with garden furniture and outdoor cooking range, perfect for whipping up dinner alfresco in the summer months.

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.
