If you're craving some restorative "Vitamin Sea", then you can't go wrong with a stay at this cute cottage in the village of Torcross. Just a few metres away from the beach, with stunning views across the water, you're sure to feel at home in no time at all. Step inside, and you'll notice a distinctly nautical theme, from the anchor on the wall to the blue and white colour scheme. There are plenty of traditional details to admire throughout and cosy nooks where you can enjoy some perfect peace – we especially like the window seat with sea views. The kitchen is charming and quaint, inviting you to cook up a delicious Sunday roast to share with your guests, and there's even a little balcony for alfresco breakfasts in the sunshine. Torcross Beach has three miles of shoreline to explore, so you can enjoy bracing walks in the winter or paddle in the sea during the warmer months. Slapton Ley Nature Reserve is just a couple of minutes away by car, where you can wander through the Devon – don't forget to pack a picnic. And, with Dartmouth just fifteen minutes away by car, you can treat yourself at the seafood restaurants, independent shops, and quaint pubs.

Home truths
One pet is welcome to come along
A permit for the car park at the rear of the property is provided for one car and additional paid parking can be found in the Torcross Tank car park just a minute's walk from the property
It's worth noting that the mattresses and bed linen here aren't particularly plush, so not everyone might find them comfortable
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started
This is a much-used home and so shows some signs of wear and tear

About Salcombe
Anyone who considered buying a property in Salcombe in the ‘80s and changed their mind will be rueing their decision. The town seems to go from strength to strength and strength again, in both popularity and price point. Today’s residents are a well-heeled bunch, and in the summer months, you’ll find an equally upscale visiting crowd. Within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Salcombe is arguably the prettiest...
