Torcross is a beautiful little coastal village in the South Hams, best known for its unique position between Slapton Ley and the three-mile-long shingle beach overlooking Start Bay.

Arranged over three floors, this holiday home has ample space for four guests. There are two lovely bedrooms, two bathrooms (one of which is an en suite), a nicely kitted-out kitchen, and a spacious top floor living room with a dining area. Next to the front door there’s a small, raised terrace where guests can enjoy a morning coffee, and a lower terrace with outdoor furniture, if you fancy relaxing in the sunshine before going out to explore.

The well-known Start Bay Inn is a two-minute amble along the seafront, so if you fancy good wholesome food within a traditional coastal pub setting, this is the place. Nearby, Stokely Farm Shop serves fantastic breakfasts as well as wood-fired pizzas, home-made pies, seafood dishes and Sunday roast. Their Deli is also a great way to stock up on a few locally produced treats to pop into the fridge at your apartment.

17 At The Beach is paws-friendly, which is terrific news for holidaymakers and their pets. Slapton Sands allows dogs all year round, while Slapton Ley makes for a scenic excursion with pups in tow. Of course, there’s also plenty of coast path to explore too, as well as the nearby towns of Dartmouth and Kingsbridge.

*Please note that all the outside space including the raised terrace and lower terrace is communal

Fantastic value and location, fully equipped comfortable property

We stayed at no17 at the end of November (during some really severe storms). The property was easy to locate and ready for our arrival with keys on a lockbox.
The property is really well located literally 2 mins from Torcross Beach, and the local pub. The car park is not attached and our property was up a few steps.
The property is well presented and fully equipped with everything you could need. A nice welcome basket , tea coffee etc and lots of leaflets etc also provided.
This is one of the most comfortable beds and duvet I have ever slept in.
2 bathrooms, one with jacuzzi bath, other with large shower.
The property was warm and quiet even through the very bad storms
We had a brief power cut which affected the boiler . I called the number provided and had immediate response, and the issue was resolved immediately.
We will definitely be back

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at No.17, even with the wild November weather in full force. It’s wonderful to know the property was easy to find, welcoming on arrival, and perfectly placed for enjoying Torcross Beach and the local pub. We’re especially pleased that you found the apartment so well equipped and comfortable, and that the bed and duvet made such an impression. Hearing that you stayed warm and cosy throughout the storms is exactly what we hope for our guests. Thank you as well for your kind words about the team’s response during the brief power cut. We’re glad the issue was resolved quickly so you could get back to enjoying your break. We look forward to welcoming you back again one day.

Superb holiday let; right on the beach as the pictures show and with absolutely everything you’d need for a great break.

Simple check in process, easy instructions for parking, responsive hosts.

The Start Bay Inn and Jerry Can cafe were all great. The Queens Arms in Slapton is a good walk away and serves great food.

Would highly recommend.

Underwhelmed by the apartment which didn’t suit our requirements. Would have been helpful to know that the lounge is on top floor, kitchen too small to eat in on ground floor and main bedroom in the basement. In order to eat you have to carry all your food plates etc along the hall, up the stairs and across the room to the table - same again when you want pudding and to take stuff downstairs again. Main bedroom also down steep stairs with windowless bathroom at the back. Not good for people who struggle with stairs or dogs. Also felt £50 charge for 2 small dogs for 3 nights was excessive. There is no private outdoor or green space - just a very small bistro table outside the front door which is a thoroughfare for the other flats in the building.

Hi Grant, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. At Luxury Coastal, we strive to provide clear and accurate descriptions of all our properties. To help guests make informed decisions, we do state in the property description that the property is arranged over three floors with the living and dining area on the top floor, the kitchen and second bedroom on the ground floor, and the master bedroom located on the lower ground floor. We also note that the outdoor space is communal, and we’re sorry this wasn’t what you had hoped for. Regarding the pet charge, this is in place to cover the additional cleaning required to maintain the standards. We’d love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. If you decide to book with us again, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d be more than happy to recommend properties that better suit your preferences, including those without stairs. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

A lovely property.
