The Crib is a delightful farmhouse and perfect holiday home nestled at the top of a gentle valley that meanders down through woodland to the golden sandy beach at Millbay.  This imposing farmhouse was built in the late Georgian period and now offers the visitor spacious and comfortable accommodation in a lovely rural setting.  Rickham is a quiet sleepy hamlet, but a short drive or walk brings you to East Portlemouth and a passenger ferry link to the bustling seaside town of Salcombe.  The farmhouse is surrounded with pastureland and has a wonderful south west facing terrace, a perfect spot for relaxing in the sun and al fresco dining.  There is a large living room with woodburner and a stylish kitchen diner where the family can congregate for meals and have the inevitable arguments about what to do tomorrow.  The South West Coastal Path passes a few yards from the door allowing those who love walking some spectacular coastal views and for the energetic you can continue on to East Prawle and enjoy some local fare at the famous Pigs Nose pub. South Devon has masses to do, be it surfing at Bantham, a variety of water sports, a round on one of several golf courses, visiting some of the lovely market towns or spending a day on Dartmoor and The Crib makes a wonderful base for enjoying a great holiday in this lovely area.
