“Fantastic little property, in a brilliant rural location.”

Stop off in Kingsbridge on your way and do a full shop at either Tesco or Morrisons. There is limited parking available and we always managed to get a free spot. I can imagine this may change in peak season. There is a coffee shop, cafe and pub almost next door which was really handy, but no village shop currently. We picked up a takeaway meal from the pub most evenings, very tasty! The apartment was lovely, the log burner was a real bonus! The only area which lets the apartment down a bit is ...

We picked up a takeaway meal from the pub most evenings, very tasty! The apartment was lovely, the log burner was a real bonus! The only area which lets the apartment down a bit is the bathroom, the weak shower over the bath and the intimate encounter with the shower curtain that likes to hug tightly to your skin. We would really recommend visits to Salcombe, Brixham(use the Dartmouth ferry crossing), Thurlstone/South Milton sands. We really wished to have visited Blackpool sands as it looked stunning when we drove past, but it was too windy! It’s a fantastic little part of the world if you fancy getting away from all the madness!

“Such a wonderful apartment in an amazing location.”

We booked our Christmas 2020 break back in 2019 and with the way the world was going we were unsure if it would or should happen, but, by the time it came around, my goodness, we are glad it did. Gorgeous apartment and the view from the living room is just beautiful. In fact, we loved it so much we actually booked our next break to 2 Bayview whilst we were still there. Can't wait to go back

“Bay view is a cosy apartment ideal for a break if you like relaxing with a great sea view, if your into lazy beach walks or up for more adventurous sea pursuits then this is perfect for you, a pub which also serves food a few yards away is ideal for refreshments.”

The property has everything your need for your stay although the bath is small with an over shower that is also very constricted with a curtain that will stick to you, that said you can make do. Parking is ok this time of year as you can park on a single yellow line behind the property I would guess during the high season you would struggle too park during the day as it’s very popular with visitors and if you did find a place you have to pay unless you can grab a free space outside the Billy Can premises but this is very much hit and miss. Overall we had a nice time without any issues for this time of year.

“Great apartment with great facilities.”

Binoculars was a nice touch. Fantastic views. We spotted some seals. Had meal in the local pub on the front. Sea Bass was lovely but expensive. We got lucky with the weather. Bed was nice .great walks in the area.best bring your own booze as nowhere local to buy without driving.All in all a great place .

“We have good and bad points of our stay in this accommodation so will start with the positives:- Close proximity to beach and facilities, wonderful view from lounge, comfy, quiet bedroom.”

On the downside we found the bathroom door very dirty with fingerprints on both sides, thankfully we had brought anti bac spray and wipes, neither of which were available at the property and wasn’t really planning on having to clean on our holidays.The frame to the lounge door, when open, was thick with cobwebs and the horrid little black midges which get everywhere so hadn’t been touched in a long time. Only 1 key supplied so not good if 1 of you wants to go to the beach and the other go for a walk. There were only 2 cereal bowls and 2 wine glasses, but ample plates and soup bowls. There was milk in the fridge on arrival but perhaps some bread would have been handy as the village shop is now closed and it’s a Sunday change over at 3pm so doesn’t give you much time to dash up to the Farm shop if you hadn’t come prepared. Parking is expensive and difficult now you can’t purchase a weekly permit. We love Torcross and have been many times over the years and will return again but sadly, not to this property.

- Mrs Leonard, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback We are disappointed that you did not contact us during your stay as we would have been happy to quickly resolve any issues you may have experienced. We could have provided you with a second key, although most of our guests tend to leave the key in the key safe when they go out. Similarly, we would have brought you some extra bowls and glasses if you had let us know. We are sorry to hear about your parking costs, but our advance information email did contain detailed advice on how to limit these costs. We also endeavoured to provide you with information about the closure of the store in Torcross, including alternative options for supplies nearby. We hope that you enjoyed your stay.

“The accommodation was exactly as described with a homely feel.”

We wanted for nothing and was well equiped for our stay. The view of start bay was incredible and the holiday was a relaxing week for us and our dogs, inspire of having back to back storms.

Mrs Mortimer December 2019

“We had a wonderful holiday over the Christmas period.”

The apartment with sea views was lovely & comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you to the owners for making it special. Torcross is a hidden gem, unspoilt, beautiful with such friendly people. Start Bay Inn is a lovely friendly pub & their fish & chips are yummy! I would definitely recommend to people who want a chilled out relaxing holiday.

Ms Blackburn October 2019

“We found the property to be very well equipped, especially with things like spare bulbs, batteries and a first aid kit.”

.. It has obviously been prepared with a lot of thought and is clean, tidy and full of charm. We loved the views and its position in the area that we know so well. Our October holiday meant that parking was not a problem. However we would have appreciated a bathroom towel rail and perhaps a grab handle for use of shower - in such a confined space, we found shower access a bit tricky. None of this spoiled our holiday - we will be back!

- Ms Blackburn, October 2019
Mr Cain October 2019

“The apartment was very nice, the bathroom a little tight when taking a shower.”

The cushions on the back of the sofas could do with refilling or something as they would not stay in position and at times were uncomfortable. That said we had a lovely week, very relaxing and quiet.

Mrs Tovey September 2019

“Perfect place”

The most relaxing and magical holiday, the view of The Sea was stunning,the apartment was beautiful and the lounge door looking out to sea with the Rising Sun or the rising moon, we were lucky enough to go when it was a full moon and clear nights and it added to our enjoyment, we were able to see and hear the sea from the apartment or nip down to the beach. beautiful countryside and walks. the pub was fantastic with good food so you didn't have to drive which made for a very relaxing time, thank you Kem, we hope to come again

“holiday appartment”

We stayed at this apartment in June this year, we found it excellent. There was everything there that we needed. Open the French windows and very calming to listen to the sea. Only a few minutes from the pub and practically next to that the restaurant. A couple of minutes the other way and the café. The owner was very helpful (didn't actually meet him but spoke on the phone). If he isn't available left a message and he got straight back. The weeks car parking permit/ticket was again helpful, could use it at various towns in the area. Would defiantly recommend it .

The property

This lovely first floor apartment is one of three on the traffic free road on the seafront in Torcross.

With uninterrupted views of the beach and sea, it is a charming spot for a coastal break for couples.

Take the exterior steps up to your front door into the hall, off which you will find the comfortable sitting room where you can open the door to the balustrade to gaze at the view, then draw the curtains and snuggle up beside the wood burning stove and enjoy meals around the breakfast bar when evening falls.

An ancient timber screen separates it from the well equipped kitchen.

The double bedroom is pretty and comes with a bathroom where you can soak after a long day walking the South West Coast Path.

For sunny days, you have shared access to a little enclosed courtyard .

You may not want to cook though, since you have a pub and restaurants on hand in the village.

This is a very beautiful seascape and countryside to explore, with the huge crescent of Slapton Sands with its fresh water lagoon behind, a haven for wildlife and conservation, and lush farmland inland.

For fascinating shops and excellent restaurants, head to the charming old nautical towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe.

With all this on your doorstep, 2 Bayview is a brilliant place to relax and take a leisurely tour of the surroundings.
