Some past comments: "Incredible sea views and immediate access straight down onto the beach - perfect for sea swimmers. Beautiful shingle beach with a small platform to swim to. Walks up and over the cliff behind the house and along the wetlands were perfect for children to explore. Highly recommend!" "The location is incredible and the views breathtaking! We knew the area and so it was the perfect base for us for both relaxing at Torcross with friends or on Slapton Sounds, or exploring nearby Dartmouth or Blackpool sounds. I found the property more spacious than I was expecting and so plenty of room for 4 of you, we did find it a little challenging with our youngest daughter wanting to go up and down the stairs constantly which is something to bear in mind if you have very young children, but that wouldn’t stop us returning with the kids. The parking is great and the kitchen well equipped and you are right on the beach, you fall asleep and wake up with the sound of the waves, idyllic! We would definitely recommend and would love to return for another visit!" "We were looking for beach front and this was certainly that. An idyllic home in a beautiful location. Amazing to hear the sea all the time. There is a local coffee shop, chip shop restaurant/ takeaway. The nearby farm shop was a great find. This home in a beautiful location was just perfect to explore surrounding south Devon coastal walks and beaches."
