Quack Cottage lies on a typical Devon lane, below the hamlet of Hansel. It is a short drive or longer walk to Slapton where there are two pubs and a community shop. The nearby village of Strete offers a shop, post office and community pub. Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are 20 minutes away and Totnes is a 35 minutes by car. There are many beaches within a half hour drive.

Its peaceful location is full of nature, the varied wildlife includes otters, glow-worms, nightingales and owls, in the heart of the South Hams AONB.

Quack Cottage, like its neighbour Rose Cottage (which is also offered for sale), was built in the late 18th century for workers at the former watermill which is located opposite.

The cottage sits prettily in a large south-facing garden above a shallow trout stream in a quiet, rural valley.
