This beautiful property adds more than a touch of luxury to holidays in one of South Devon's prettiest coastal villages, and is the perfect place to enjoy a family getaway or relaxing breaks with friends.

With its own entrance at the back of the building and a bright and airy atmosphere throughout, The Penthouse offers a well-equipped, luxurious holiday home that has fantastic views over the Ley, village and beach from its open plan living area and kitchen. Tasteful furnishings, modern features, and plenty of space for all means you'll feel right at home from the moment you step inside, while its three gorgeous bedrooms, two bathrooms and a washroom provide ample space for six guests, and the perfect base for exploring the delights of South Devon.

At The Beach is situated in the village of Torcross, set within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Steps away from the apartment are Slapton Ley Nature Reserve and bird sanctuary on one side and a three-mile shingle beach on the other side, which was used as a training ground for the US Army in the preparation for the D-Day in World War II.

The calm, safe waters are ideal for families. Positioned within easy reach of some of South Devon’s best beaches at Blackpool Sands, Hallsands and Thurlestone. The area is fantastic for coastal walks, bird watching and sight-seeing. If you want to explore further afield, Dartmouth (9 miles), Kingsbridge (7 miles) and Salcombe (13 miles) are within easy reach.

Lovely apartment in a great location

A lovely apartment full of modcons, in a brilliant location. Parking was easy, access was fine for us but can do the stairs without issues - but perhaps not for those who are less mobile. Upstairs rooms were spacious and shower room was good. Downstairs kitchen / lounge was spacious and comfortable. Utility room and extra bathroom was helpful. Beautiful view out of the window (though agreed with other reviewers that some more regular cleaning of the windows would be nice in the summer - it did rain when we were there and unfortunately not self cleaning as described), and lots of lovely walks from the property.

A stunning 3 bed aprtment literally on tge beach. High end facilities, high tech, ultra modern. A couple of flights of stairs to negotiate to get to the penthouse. Private secure parking. Torcross is quiet, beautiful and perfect for a getaway. Highly recommend this property

Second time staying here and the apartment did not disappoint. It was very clean and tidy with all the comforts of home. The weather certainly helped as it was dry throughout our stay, so lots of walks and exploring the area. It' was the perfect base for us and there are many eateries close by to make sure we did not go hungry . Will certainly look to return again in the future.

Lovely apartment, all the facilities you will need plus more! Very comfortable, overall we enjoyed our stay,

A couple of negative points -

Access is unusual, a lot of stairs using the front door from the entrance or a fairly steep hill and then stairs from the car park to the door.

The water heater for the central heating is located in a cupboard in the master bedroom, for a light sleeper, like myself, the constant noise was a problem probably worse at this time of the year. It was a very cold few days!

I have to point out that these negatives didn't spoil our stay!

Hi Michael, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you found the apartment lovely and well-equipped with everything you needed for your stay! It’s always wonderful to know our guests are comfortable and enjoying their time with us. We’re sorry to hear there were a couple of aspects that didn’t meet expectations. At Luxury Coastal, we strive to provide clear and accurate information, which is why we include details about internal and external stairs on each property listing in the 'Things To Know' section. Regarding the boiler noise, we’ve spoken with the property owner, and moving forward, the housekeeping team will ensure it’s set to ECO mode before each guest’s arrival to minimise any disturbance. We sincerely apologise that this impacted your experience. We truly value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back. Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche mit sechs Personen in Torcross verbracht. Es ist fantastisch, den Strand direkt vor der Tür zu haben, den Pub nur wenige Meter weiter und tolle Wandermöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Die Küstenwege sind herrlich und oftmals sind auch Seehunde zu sehen.
Die Wohnung würden wir jederzeit wieder nehmen, jedoch muss man wissen, dass der Weg zur Wohnung für Personen mit handicap oder zum Entladen und Beladen etwas beschwerlich ist, da es mehrere Treppen rauf und runter bis zur Wohnung sind. Der Ausblick ist toll, der nahegelegene Parkplatz eine gute Sache.
In der Wohnung kann man sich richtig wohlfühlen. Die Aufteilung ist gut, die Geräte sind sehr modern, die Sitzgelegenheiten und die Betten gemütlich und die Ausstattung mehr als ausreichend. Es gibt genug Informationsmaterial zu den Geräten. Der Kontakt war nett und es war alles sehr unproblematisch.
Wir können diese Wohnung sehr empfehlen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

We found the accommodation very comfortable .However the hot water kettle tap was broken throughout the majority of the stay.The jacuzzi on the master bedroom emitted Green slime on first use , so unable to use it.The impression we had was that the outside sitting space was exclusive, however it was communal.Having said all of that it was compensated by a very responsive support team .

Hello Gerald, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you found the accommodation comfortable and the support team helpful. We did offer to come round and have a look at the jacuzzi bath however I believe you didn't want us to, this has now been fully serviced and we do apologise you encountered this problem. The hot water tap is not able to be fixed as of now so we do supply a kettle in the property and as for outside on our website we do state it is communal sorry if this was missed. We do hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, Luxury Coastal.

We rented the Penthouse for our family reunion. We wanted a place that was near the water and provided enough space for 4 adults. The Penthouse is a really cozy, comfortable apartment that is literally right on the beach and provides extensive walking routes to other beaches over green hills. The kitchen was fully equipped though I had wished that the frying pan had been less scratched.
