The small village of South Milton is a mile from the beautiful South Hams coastline and its many wonderful beaches and the South West Coast Path is within a short walking distance with lovely cliff-top walks. The iconic Thurlestone Rock is nearby and situated just off South Milton Sands, which is backed by sand dunes owned by the National Trust and has the well-regarded Beach House café, toilets and car park. The beach is a launching point for windsurfers, paddle-boarders and kayakers, and is great for snorkelling. Behind the beach is South Milton Ley, a nature reserve and one of three small wetlands near the village of South Milton. It is possible to walk from the house to the beach though the nature reserve.

The nearby village of Thurlestone has a primary school, village shop and post office, church, the Village Inn public house and the 4-star Thurlestone Hotel with its private health club facilities. An 18-hole golf course that runs along the coastline is within about a mile.
