The settlement is still a fishing village, but smugglers once frequented it. Shipwrecks off the shore are a popular diving location. Pubs and eateries sit above the beach. From here, the coastal walk runs to Bigbury-on-sea and Salcombe.

Comfortable beds, well equipped and lovely little extras like a sensor light on the landing. Newly appointed showers and a spacious main bedroom that could accommodate a travel cot really easily. Nice views across to hillside covered with sheep and the sea to the side. Short walk along a side road and footpath to the beach.

Few things could make it better. Downstairs toilet seat not fitted correctly, had to hold up when in use. 2nd bedroom lacked storage as a lot full of house stuff like sheets. Kitchen missing a few things like extra chopping board and sieve. As reported light in ensuite needs replacing so it was quite dark bit ok. Hard to use ensuite and plugs for drying hair. Key safe hard to open. Clear out and bin old tatty leaflets, replace with better ones. It was clean and had a lot of useful stuff. Good car parking.

I'll be delighted to go again. Location is great, literally a five min walk to the cove itself. Superb views from the main bedroom. Facilities wise, they've thought of everything you might need. Photo's don't do it justice, really lovely home from home.
