This family-friendly getaway with lots of chill-out spots inside and out is a refurbished, ground-floor apartment in the former Torcross Hotel, standing on the very edge of Slapton Sands beach so you’re steps from a day of sunbathing and coastal walking on this long, dog-friendly beach. Add extra fun to your beach day by trying surfing, windsurfing or canoeing and get your fuel from the beachside cafe. The Nature Reserve (1.5 miles), including freshwater lake Slapton Ley, is a great place to spot wildlife and plant life. It’s all in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yours to explore on your holiday. Visit the town of Slapton to wander the charming streets of thatched cottages and traditional pubs.
Steep steps lead to the complex’s entrance; take one further step up to this apartment’s front door and enter the ground floor where you’ll find all of the homely rooms with delightful seaside themed decor throughout. There’s a large, well-equipped kitchen with modern spotlights under the units and a dining table with six chairs so you can enjoy family dinners together. The living room is the perfect spot for relaxing after your coastal adventures with a two-seater leather sofa and free-standing armchairs. The coffee table, Smart TV, DVD player and Bluetooth speaker mean you can really make yourself at home here. French doors leading to the terrace complete this lovely social area. Kids will love the bunk bedroom where there’s a cool beach scene across one entire wall, which makes up for the lack of windows. The family bathroom with a bath is a good place to reinvigorate after adventures, while the double bedroom has an en-suite shower room. Here, expect home comforts like scatter cushions, a throw, a bedside lamp, hairdryer and a TV. Best are the patio doors leading to the terrace so you can wake up and step out to sea views every morning.
You can all enjoy outdoor relaxation together on the enclosed, paved terrace overlooking the sea. The table and chairs mean family meals in the fresh sea air: the perfect way to cap off a South Devon getaway.
