About the host
Hosted by Claire Funnell
We both loved Devon as children and made the move over 10 years ago to the English Riveria. We have brought our children up in Torquay enjoying the local beaches and facilities and we both work locally. Claire is self employed and supports others in building their businesses. She also runs well being sessions for local businesses and groups. Tim has supported young people in the local secondary schools runs and currently runs projects, events and training for a local youth charity. Over the years we have made good use of the water and other sports facilities in Torbay, loving the Red Arrow visits to the Bay and Tim has walked the Two Moors Way in Dartmoor. We live close by, which is why we knew what a great property the lodge is and the easy access to exploring the local area and beyond.
Why they chose this property
We’ve lived and enjoyed the area for years so when the opportunity came up to get this unique property near us, we jumped at the chance. We fell in love with St Matthias Lodge immediately, in a beautiful area we know well and extremely close to the well loved Kents pub and Me and Mrs Jones cafe. The shops at Wellswood are a couple minutes walk away and it’s within easy walks of Kents Cavern, St Matthias Church and Meadfoot Beach. The bowling green, and tennis courts are located in Cary Park in Babbacombe. For the less active a stroll to the end of the road and you can step straight onto the bus and down to the harbour with the Princess Theatre, shops and host of restaurants and cafes or in the other direction, to Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Shaldon and Teignmouth. The choice of immediate restaurants, tea rooms and coffee shops too makes Wellswood a great base from which to enjoy your Devon holiday.
What makes this property unique
The property was built in the late 1800s and is full of character. It’s been lovingly restored by its previous owners and we continue to upkeep and care for the unique details and features of the lodge. Free Wifi available.
