Downsteps Beach House is a tastefully restored fishermans cottage, tucked away in a secluded cove in the seaside village of Torcross. The cottage is a beautiful mix of contemporary and traditional and feels welcoming and homely with a sea view from nearly every room! Step outside and perched above the beach is terraced decking and lawn to enjoy the sublime views. Each of the three bedrooms looks out to sea, so you can hear the waves rolling onto the beach. With a well equipped kitchen, and sitting room with an open fire, this is a truly special cottage for your South Devon holiday.
Torcross is situated at the southern end of the glorious stretch of beach known as Slapton Sands. This buzzing village has a farm shop half a mile away, the popular Start Bay Inn famous for its fish and chips, restaurant and a beautiful thatched tea toom serving delicious cream teas, along with the Billy Can for traditional sweets and other treats. Slapton Ley, a freshwater lake also stretches up into the village offering a wealth of wildlife for the nature enthusiast to observe. The South West Coast Path is on the doorstep and can lead you over the cliff tops to the quaint fishing village of Beesands or saunter along the Beach towards Slapton and Strete Gate. Access to the bustling market town of Kingsbridge and the distinguished town of Dartmouth is easy via car or bus as this coastal retreat is situated on the scenic coastal road leading to both. Popular Salcombe is easily accessed by road and a day on Dartmoor is just a forty minute drive away.
