UK Holiday Cottages

Florence House is a distinctive period property in the heart of the popular village of Slapton, a short distance from the south Devon coast and the beach at Torcross.  Built in the late 1800’s it has great character and charm and provides comfortable accommodation with a cosy sitting room that opens onto a sunny rear conservatory, a kitchen and dining room as well as three comfortable bedrooms with the addition of a basement children’s room/occasional bedroom and the added benefit of a large garden and generous parking.  The pretty village of Slapton is a tumble of picturesque cottages with two great pubs, a village shop and borders the Slapton Ley Nature Reserve.   The South West Coastal Path passes close by and invites the visitor to enjoy some spectacular coastal walks, a perfect one being the walk to Start Point, passing through the seaside villages of Beeson and Hallsands on the way. The historic naval port of Dartmouth with its bustling quayside, shops and restaurants is a short drive away as is the pretty market town of Kingsbridge at the head of the Salcombe estuary.
