May’s Cottage, located on the seafront at Beesands is just a perfect example of a tastefully and sympathetically refurbished fisherman’s cottage. Soft décor and comfortable furnishings combine with modern conveniences to make this a relaxing and welcoming destination for couples and small families who value a special venue close to the sea. Stable doors allow the sounds of the ocean to permeate into the light and airy sitting room and double bedroom, and a woodburner will create a cosy hideaway on those autumn and winter evenings after a brisk coastal walk.
The cottage itself has everything required for an enjoyable stay, with a modern kitchen, two comfortable bedrooms with the master bedroom enjoying lovely sea views and an en suite shower room. There’s a great pub with restaurant just along the seafront, a good cafe serving locally caught seafood, breathtaking coastal walks and easy access to the market town of Kingsbridge and historic Dartmouth. We recommend this cottage very highly.
Outside
Rear passageway (occasionally used by other residents to access their out houses leads) to a small rear garden up a few steps, furnished with garden table and chairs.
The local area
This tiny fishing village has magnificent views across Start Bay towards Dartmouth’s Harbour Entrance to the NE and the iconic Start Point Lighthouse to the SE. Its pebble beach is a sanctuary for anglers, while walkers are drawn to its winding coastal paths. The Cricket Inn, Beesands' village pub, prides itself on a first class menu served only a stone’s throw away from the ever-changing shore.
A newer addition to the Beesands menu is the delicious fresh food served up at the Britannia @ The Beach seafood shack, also located on the beach front and serving great food day and night.
Local tourist attractions include the Start Point Lighthouse, Slapton Ley Nature Reserve and the lost village of Hallsands. The bustling market towns of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth are only a short driving distance away, while local shops can be found in the neighbouring villages of Torcross and Chillington.
A holiday cottage in Beesands is perfectly positioned for enjoying this beautiful stretch of coastline.
Parking
Plenty of unrestricted parking available on the seafront, usually very close to the cottage.
