This pretty thatched 17th century cottage is tucked away down a quiet lane near the centre of the delightful village of Slapton, close to the 3 mile beach and Nature reserve. Extensively refurbished yet retaining the period features which make the cottage so attractive, guests will appreciate the comfortable sitting room, as well as the separate dining room and modern kitchen that both open onto the sheltered, sunny courtyard and small garden. Slapton’s two excellent pubs and well stocked village shop are a short stroll away and one of many pleasant local walks will take you to the long shingle beach that curves around Start Bay.  There are plenty of coastal walks with amazing views and the cottage is perfectly placed as a very special base from where guests can explore the surrounding villages, countryside and beaches of this beautiful area.
