This charming and lovingly restored 200 year old beachside fisherman's cottage nestles in a secluded cove in Torcross, on the South Devon coast between Dartmouth and Salcombe. The cottage itself combines a rustic feel with modern comforts.
This delightful property was featured in The Times as one of 2017's 50 best cottages in Britain. It has spectacular sea views over Start Bay and steps leading from the garden directly down to the shingle beach. This proximity to the sea means you fall asleep and wake up to the sound of the waves and have the most beautiful ocean views from almost every window of the house - ideal accommodation for your self catering break in South Devon.
The cottage combines a rustic country feel with a modern twist. With its low beamed ceilings, stripped original floorboards, seagrass carpets and eclectic furniture, the cottage accommodation provides everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable holiday in the South Hams.
