About this property
‘At the Beach’ is a stunning development of luxury apartments and cottages situated on the very edge of the sea at Slapton Sands, just a few yards from the beach, village pub, cafes and restaurants. A sympathetic transformation of the former ‘Torcross Hotel’ built in the late 1800’s, the development a stunning combination of Victorian elegance and modern day comfort.
1 At The Beach is a spacious, ground floor apartment, enjoying a private terrace with views across Start Bay. The inner entrance leads directly into a large hallway with level access to all the accommodation. The open plan living area is both stylish and contemporary, and boasts double French doors opening out onto a large terrace that directly overlooks Slapton Line and the beach. The kitchen is modern, and very well equipped, including a custom-made worktop and ‘kettle tap’ that produces boiling water on demand. A small freezer can be found in the hallway cupboard. There is a breakfast bar extension with four designer stools, and a round glass dining table that comfortably seats four people. The seating area is comfortably furnished with a 3 seater sofa, 2 tub chairs, nest of two tables, flat screen TV, DVD player, Bose Wave radio, wall mounted electric fire and a selection of board games, books and DVDs.
Master suite has sea views and double doors leading out to the terrace, a King-size bed with Vi-Spring mattress, wardrobe and chest of drawers, and en suite bathroom has a spa bath, separate shower cubicle and heated towel rail.

Torcross is a village at the southern end of Slapton Sands, in the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A historical site of interest for visitors, this area of coastline is a site where the Normandy landings were practiced. Slapton Sands is a 1.2 mile-long stretch of shingle beach, which is dog-friendly all year round. This area is fantastic for nature lovers, with Slapton Ley Nature Reserve adjacent to the beach. The towns of Dartmouth and Kingsbridge are both within driving distance, offering boutique shops, galleries and restaurants.

It was accessible enough for them both especially being on the ground floor with spectacular views out to sea and along Slapton Sands. The apartment would benefit from some grab handles in the showers for those less steady and somewhere to put the soap, shampoo, etc. in the first shower please. I absolutely loved my bedroom at the far end of the apartment with dual aspect windows overlooking the sea - amazing! We were lucky with the weather and, although a little chilly, I enjoyed a few sea swims. The neighbours in other apartments were all so friendly too and everyone respected and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this unique place where we could recharge our batteries. Thank you for a wonderful experience and holiday location. We do intend to return and have already been recommending this accommodation to friends and family. Since booking, I discovered that my friends are already regular visitors to At The Beach - itâs their favourite place to holiday in the south coast. I think itâs now mine too! I must also mention how lively the locals are too, especially Karen at the Start Bay pub - the food there is exceptionally good and itâs so conveniently located. Thank you - we will be back!
