Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Slapton, South Devon, is 1 Sands Road, a charming two bedroom, dog friendly cottage, less than a mile from Slapton Sands. Beautifully presented, guests will step into the lounge with comfortable seating for sinking into after busy day exploring the glorious South Hams, while the log burner crackles away. The contemporary kitchen diner is light and bright, offering a lovely space to enjoy preparing and eating your holiday favourites, or perhaps enjoy fish and chips in the sunny garden, or just a morning coffee listening to the tranquil sounds of birds and village life. Upstairs the bedrooms are thoughtfully presented for a relaxing nights sleep, with the main bedroom enjoying views from the window over the village to the rolling countryside.
1 Sands Road is a little gem for your South Devon holiday being just a short walk to the village shop, and two great pubs, along with a picturesque nature reserve and the three mile stretch of beach between Torcross and Strete Gate, Slapton Sands, right on the South West Coast Path. The Millennium field at the top of the village is a fantastic viewpoint for gazing out over the village to Start Bay and the lighthouse at Start Point. Slapton is just a 20 minute’ drive from the bustling market town of Kingsbridge and the historic town of Dartmouth. The bohemian hub of Totnes is a 30 minute drive, with Dartmoor a little further on. This popular village is superb for exploring all the delights the South Hams has to offer, and this pretty cottage is a superb base for a couple, independent traveller or small family.

Slapton is a small quaint village just a stone's throw from the outstandingly beautiful stretch of coastline at Slapton Sands, from where you can enjoy sweeping sea views across Start Bay, from the mouth of the river Dart in the north across to the craggy cliffs that curve round to Start Point Lighthouse in the south.
Slapton village is a short stroll from Slapton Sands beach, a 6km stretch of pebble beach, fronted by Start Bay and backed by the stunning Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve – a large freshwater lake separated from the sea by a narrow strip of land, and home to many species of wildlife including otters, eels, dormice and a huge number of birds and insects.
Slapton village itself boasts two pubs, The Tower Inn which is renowned for its excellent food, and The Queen's Arms, which has a pretty garden providing the perfect spot for a refreshing beer, whilst a shop/Post Office, café and more pub/restaurants can be found at nearby Torcross.There are also many wonderful walks in the area – through unspoilt countryside, around the Slapton Ley, and along the spectacular South West Coast Path.
Slightly further along the coastal road towards Dartmouth, you'll find Blackpool Sands, one of the most popular beaches in Devon. Here, the golden sand and shingle beach, green pines cliffs, and turquoise waters conspire to exude an almost Mediterranean feel. This beautiful, family-friendly beach is great for windsurfing, paddle boarding and canoeing, and when hunger strikes, the beach-side Venus Café is a great place to refuel with a view.
The lively market town of Kingsbride is just 7 miles away and offers a good choice of independent shops, cafés and pubs, as well as two supermarkets for stocking up on essentials.
