The well-appointed bathroom offers a relaxing soak in the tub or a refreshing shower, making it easy to rinse off after a day at the beach.
For those looking to explore the local area, Ringmore features the charming 13th-century Journey’s End Inn pub, where delicious meals made from locally sourced ingredients can be enjoyed. A short drive leads to Bigbury-on-Sea, a destination perfect for classic beach holidays and various water sports, including surfing, windsurfing, and kayaking, with equipment hire and lessons available at the nearby Discovery Surf School.

Bigbury is also home to the iconic Burgh Island, which features striking Art Deco architecture and is steeped in literary history, famously inspiring Agatha Christie’s renowned murder mystery 'And Then There Were None'. The island can be accessed via a causeway at low tide or a unique sea tractor at high tide, adding to its charm. For outdoor lovers, the South West Coastal Path presents breathtaking walking routes right from the cottage's doorstep. Should guests wish to venture beyond the immediate area, the quaint towns of Modbury, Salcombe, and Kingsbridge, as well as the historic sites of Plymouth, the picturesque town of Dartmouth, and the wild landscapes of Dartmoor National Park, are all within reach, making 3 Cumberland Cottages an ideal romantic retreat by the sea.
