    “We've stayed at this property a couple of times previously so obviously like it very much.”

    It is clean and comfortable and has amazing views out to sea and along the coast from Start Point in the South to Dartmouth in the North. A few words of caution though. The property is quite small with little storage space, particularly in the twin bedroom. We were a party of three adults which is fine - but four would have been pushing it. Two adults and two younger children would probably be fine. There's not really anywhere to sit outside. There's a couple of tiny folding chairs ...

    It is clean and comfortable and has amazing views out to sea and along the coast from Start Point in the South to Dartmouth in the North. A few words of caution though. The property is quite small with little storage space, particularly in the twin bedroom. We were a party of three adults which is fine - but four would have been pushing it. Two adults and two younger children would probably be fine. There's not really anywhere to sit outside. There's a couple of tiny folding chairs on the tiny balconies to the rear but these are only really suitable for very small adults or children to sit for brief periods. The garden at the front has no comfortable furniture to sit on (only hard benches) and there is no seating around the swimming pool - I got the feeling that the permanent residents don't want holiday guests getting too comfortable and hanging about in the shared spaces. That said, sitting inside with the window open at the front is no great hardship! We love the peace, tranquillity and beauty of Hallsands, though nervous drivers beware - the last half mile or so of single lane track down to Prospect House can be a bugger on the (not too frequent) occasions you meet something coming the other way.

About the location

HALLSANDS

Start Point 1.5 miles; Beesands 3 miles; East Portlemouth 5.5 miles; Kingsbridge 8 miles.

Hallsands is a small village near Start Point, one of the most southerly points on Devon’s coastline, near Salcombe in the beautiful South Hams area. The sheltered South Hams Peninsula is in 'deepest Devon', a pastoral landscape of flowering hedgerows and ancient sunken lanes, carved into by the richly wooded Avon and Dart Valleys. This quiet fishing village, with its dog-friendly, unspoilt beach, is situated next to the historic ‘old village’ of South Hallsands, just three miles from the popular Beesands Beach which has its own gastro pub and shop. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is decorated with white, pink and ochre thatched cottages, picturesque fishing ports such as Dartmouth, and is renowned for its stunning coastline, popular with yachting enthusiasts. Much of the clifftop land has been acquired by the National Trust, a haven for bird watchers and walkers who take advantage of the South West Coast Path, peppered with perfect picnic spots. Nearby, uncover the beauty of Blackpool Sands and Torcross, a historic site where the Normandy landings were practiced; explore the nature reserve at Slapton Ley, and stroll along Slapton Beach, feeling the soft sand between your toes. Park at East Portlemouth and catch the ferry across to the beautiful seaside town of Salcombe with its renowned estuary, or visit the Start Point Lighthouse, less than a mile away. Hallsands is a wonderful base for uncovering the unspoilt beauty of Devon and the South Hams, all year round.

Heated Swimming pool, open from Whitsun week through to mid-September (Please note there is no fixed date for the pool to close and this will be weather dependant).


Due to the close proximity to the cliff edge, children should be supervised at all times.

Strictly No Smoking
