Originally the gamekeeper's lodge for the Oldstone Estate in the 18th century, Woodside Cottage has now been transformed into an exceptionally comfortable B&B of great character. Standing high on the side of a classically beautiful South Devon valley, it is ideally located down a quiet country lane only 4 miles outside Dartmouth, and it is equally convenient for access to the glorious unspoilt coastline leading from Slapton Sands round Start Point to Salcombe. The cottage is also just half a mile from the ancient but still thriving village of Blackawton (mentioned in the Domesday Book), which has its own post office and two pubs, one of which is a gastropub renowned throughout the Dartmouth area for the outstanding quality of its food. The other is an excellent traditional pub of a type .
