Could be fantastic - great parking - pub close by was amazing - this apartment is not cozy - out of season sooooo different to summer madness but needs a different angle with ambience Location was unique / spacious / practical - it’s a dark corner and needs to be cozy - lighting was overdone and hard to make cozy Heating / hot water was great

“This is a lovely apartment in a delightful setting and we really enjoyed our week there.”

It is spacious and comfortable and generally in good repair. The kitchen was well stocked with useful equipment and the owners had left a welcome pack of wine, biscuits, etc., and also a small cleaning pack. We only used the latter but very much appreciated the kind gesture. We found the TV reception a bit variable but it didn't bother us unduly. It was a lovely week and warm for October so, although we didn't sit out on the patio, we were able to sit with the French doors (the latches are a bit stiff) open to watch the sea, which was blissful. The en-suite bathroom is very spacious and, we assume, because of issues with slight damp (you can smell it in both bathrooms), the radiator in there was on permanently so it was a perfect, comfortable temperature all the time. We prefer to give constructive feedback rather than negatives review so this is just for the owners: We didn't find it as clean as we'd expected. There were cobwebs in the corners and thick dust along the top of the headboard in the en suite bedroom. there was also old food stuck on trays in the kitchen. the most unpleasant discovery was finding old blood stains on the duvet and brown stains on a pillow protector, in the en-suite, when we stripped the bed before leaving. We found it strange because, whoever had stripped the bed when these stains occurred must have seen corresponding stains on the bed linen and could surely have dealt with them then. This alone would put us off returning but, hopefully, the owners can deal with this issue now.

“The directions to the property are vague and need re-writing The sofas and armchairs are the most uncomfortable I have ever tried to use.”

As a 79 year old arthritic the hall bathroom needs a safety handle in the shower, and the toilet roll is unreachable.

“This is the fourth time I have stayed in this property.”

It has a great location and is very comfortable and well equiped. A great location to visit the various attractions in the area or just relax.

“Amazing location and lovely apartment with great space but the outdoors really needs some attention.”

Patio not very clean and we couldn't really let our toddler walk on it! An initial problem which we were told about with the hob not working, which turned out wasn't the hob at all but the plug socket! Coast and country managed the situation very well with good communication. We were provided with a table top hob but this really wasn't very useful! A goodwill monetary gesture was also given, which was appreciated but the lack of the hob until the end of the week was disappointing as we love to be able to cook and eat on the (slightly dirty!) patio. The plug in the bath didn't seem to work properly and the knob fell off! We still had a great holiday and the views that the apartment gives can't be beaten.

- Rebecca, July 2025

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback following your stay. We are sorry to hear that your stay wasn't as perfect as we would always aim for it to be. We have worked with our maintenance team and the patio has now been brought up to standard and the minor repairs inside have also now been rectified. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

“We have stayed At The Beach for many years in various apartments, having stayed last September at No 1.”

The apartment itself is lovely, it was clean and comfortable and we were greeted with a really nice Welcome Pack. For us the highlight of our holiday is sitting on the patio which is right on the doorstep of the beach and relaxing. However this was spoilt by the disgraceful state of the patio, it was so dirty I had to stop our dog sitting in various places so he wouldn't get dirty and take it into the apartment. The walls on the patio are cracked and dirty and need plastering and painting and there were big weeds growing round the corner and a piece of wood lying around. This patio has been like this for as long as we can remember. I reported it last September and I was assured it would be cleaned, it had been cleaned a bit for our last visit but is bad as ever again. Under the table has never seen a brush!!! It is obvious that no maintenance is carried out on this patio as the two apartments next door are always clean in stark contrast to No 1. The patio is a big let down sadly. We won't stay in this apartment again but they are no longer allowing dogs anyway then again I wouldn't let my dog sit there again!!!

- Diane, June 2025

Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback following your stay. We are sorry to hear that the patio was not up to a good standard. We have raised the issues you have brought to our attention with our maintenance team and are working with them to get the issues rectified as soon as possible. Property Owner

“Our 5th visit and still love it as much.”

Just a few details: The bath still does not hold water which we have commented on every time. We had problems with Smart TV said it was connected but didn’t work. Outside area needs some attention, needs a good sweep to get rid of leaves and debris

- Anita, May 2025

Many thanks for taking the time to leave feedback following your stay. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay and we have raised the issues you have brought to our attention with our maintenance team so these can be rectified as soon as possible. Property Owner

Chris October 2024

“We thoroughly enjoyed our time at 1At The Beech to be right by the sea was amazing, and we saw some great waves coming over the sea walls.”

The chaps that look after the complex were great and nothing was too much trouble for them. We would recommend these apartments.

- Chris, October 2024
Diane September 2024

“Enjoyed our stay at 1 At The Beach.”

We have stayed here before and at different apartments At The Beach, This is a nice apartment with the bonus of being able to sit out on a patio. The patio had been cleaned which made a difference but still could do with the actual stone paving being karchered, like the next door 2 apartments. The bed was very comfortable and all the linen and towels were fresh and new. A lovely hamper was left for our arrival which was much appreciated. We have already booked again for next year.

Nicky July 2024

“This is a lovely modern apartment, with its biggest selling point being the location, however for the cost of a premium property there are a few things that are not as expected.”

Many of the walls had bare plaster the cleanliness of the property is not great, I had to clean all the kitchen down as the handles were sticky, the blankets and sofas smelt and are in need of cleaning. Also I think it would benefit a coffee machine even if only a coffee pod machine. The welcome basket was a nice gesture.

- Nicky, July 2024
Ashley July 2024

“Beautiful location and our second stay here.”

Perfect appartment for us. Roomy, all the facilities you could want and the best positioned flat in the block. Luxurious with all the facilities you could want. My only negatives would be that some minor maintenance needs to be done to make it lit a 10/10. Shower doors need new runners, don’t close fully and hung with cable tie. This would only cost a few pounds so just needs doing. No welcome pack? Really unusual and a welcome pack gives you the feeling they care. But not this time. Outside just needs a brush and hose down. Definitely come back

- Ashley, July 2024
Scott July 2024

“Property is looking tired with some much needed TLC required in places.”

Paint coming off walls and moisture stains aren’t a good look. However torcross itself is perfect and we will be back (but in other accommodation I suspect)

- Scott, July 2024
Karen June 2024

“The property is well furnished and obviously beautifully positioned however the bed linen and towels were not of the most freshest and on our first night we had to wash the towels as they smelt so bad.”

The bed linen actually smelt like it had not been changed at all and the cushions and decorative blankets need to be refreshed. Sorry but on the price we paid not what we would expect.

- Karen, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback. As owners of the property, we have spoken to the commercial cleaning company that we use and they have advised that they were unaware of any issues. We have requested that they pay particular attention to the areas you have mentioned going forwards. Property Owner
Gail June 2024

“The apartments location size and views are amazing.”

Comfy sofas and beds. Nice soft furnishings. Great kitchen area. Would definitely stay again. It does however some TLC there are patches on the interior walls in main bedroom where paint is peeling bare plaster appears damp. The en-suite shower door had one of the 2 fittings attaching it to the track missing making it difficult to close and whilst showering fell off, I did report this and a prompt temp repair with plastic ties was made. On arrival the patio was extremely dirty which would have carried dirt into the apartment spent time cleaning it still needs more attention. The other 2 adjoining apartments were very clean in comparison. Garden furniture full of cobwebs. Wanted to leave everywhere nice and clean, only an old brush and sweeping pan and brush. No vac, mop or cleaning materials the little box of one bin bag dishwasher tablets and a cloth isn’t sufficient. Thanks for coffee and wine.

Anita June 2024

“We have just come back from another lovely holiday at 1 At the beach, every year we return the apartment needs more attention to detail.”

We had difficulty locking all the outside doors, which we reported to Coast & Country who got someone out almost immediately. The outside is a disgrace, I wouldn’t think the patio has ever been swept and the boundary wall render is crumbling and dirty. The whole outside facias and frames need cleaning, the other properties have been done and look good. The bath in the en-suite still doesn’t hold water, we have commented on that every time we’ve been. The shower doors in both bathroom do not close properly. This is all such a let down as we love the property and location and have already booked for next year!

“1@ The Beach Torcross FAO :OWNERS OF ABOVE We have been coming to this apartment for the same week in September for the past 5 years Each year we have noticed slight differences which, are not, unfortunately positive (other than the new blinds) There is no longer a welcome pack or even a welcome note, this used to be a very nice touch & still enjoyed by surrounding apartments.”

The booking is for 4 adults & whilst we appreciate its self catering.....2 toilet rolls Each year the lack of shower caddy in the "shower room" is mentioned, still not forthcoming, this year I bought my own! Also the airer is still broken & we are therefore unable to dry washing pegs to accompany the airer would also be nice & helpful. The towels continue to smell musty & damp The rug in the lounge would benefit from a deep clean or better still replacing. The plug mechanism in the bath needs attention, The seat in the en-suite toilet, is, as always still loose Whilst these may appear little issues' the fact that the cost of a weeks holiday "off peak season"is nearing £1000, we do not feel it's unreasonable for these issues to be pointed out & more importantly addressed

Nicky June 2023

“1 At The Beach was the perfect accommodation for me and my elderly parents to spend a week’s holiday.”

It was accessible enough for them both especially being on the ground floor with spectacular views out to sea and along Slapton Sands. The apartment would benefit from some grab handles in the showers for those less steady and somewhere to put the soap, shampoo, etc. in the first shower please. I absolutely loved my bedroom at the far end of the apartment with dual aspect windows overlooking the sea - amazing! We were lucky with the weather and, although a little chilly, I enjoyed a few sea swims. The neighbours in other apartments were all so friendly too and everyone respected and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this unique place where we could recharge our batteries. Thank you for a wonderful experience and holiday location. We do intend to return and have already been recommending this accommodation to friends and family. Since booking, I discovered that my friends are already regular visitors to At The Beach - it’s their favourite place to holiday in the south coast. I think it’s now mine too! I must also mention how lively the locals are too, especially Karen at the Start Bay pub - the food there is exceptionally good and it’s so conveniently located. Thank you - we will be back!

- Nicky, June 2023
Geoffrey June 2023

“One of the best apartments we've stayed in over the years.”

Very well equipped, but it would have been helpful to have more information about the equipment available. Also, your directions for finding the property need updating - we saw the sign for Hannaford's but looking like a Victorian painted sign on a derelict building. You said then to drive past the post office stores - which we couldn't find, and later discovered that they closed in 2018.

Rachel April 2023

“Beautiful home and bathroom with jacuzzi bath much appreciated!”

Stunning view and location though lacked some privacy with the small terrace - outside photo didn’t reflect this and we didn’t expect walkers to be literally within feet of us. The plates and kitchenware was workable but felt outdated compared to the rest of the stylish property. This is a small thing but towels didn’t smell fresh and throw on sofa fusty. Upon entering the appt the place didn’t smell fresh as if cleaned …whether bleach used or otherwise. The welcome basket a lovely touch with locally sourced produce.

“We love this apartment, this is our second visit this year.”

There is so much space and the patio has the most fabulous view! Torcross is lovely, the pub is great for daily fresh fish and the shop does a delicious bacon baguette. Thank you for the goodies on arrival, very much appreciated.

Andrea June 2022

“We were very disappointed to have not been pre-warned about ongoing building work taking place right outside the property.”

This work began in February and is likely to complete in late July/ August. Builders vans obscuring the sea view, cement mixers, a portacabin, and building noise beginning in the early morning until late afternoon, all affected our privacy and relaxation. When my concern at the lack of communication about this before our holiday began was raised via social media at the start of the week, ( because their is no email address to send photos/ videos to) I received an online acknowledgment, and then two phone calls days later, promising to look into the communication breakdown with the property owner, but have heard nothing since and had no real apology. The customer care was poor in this respect. I understand the building work is outside their control, but some warning would have been both courteous and customer focused, and I am doubtful that future holiday lets will be advised of the disruption they will also face when staying at No. 1 At The Beach, Torcross this summer. We will not be booking with Coast and Country Cottages again, even though the apartment itself was lovely.

Anita May 2022

“This is our second visit to 1 At the Beach and we were disappointed to find standards had slipped!”

The blinds in lounge and main bedroom were a disgrace, many of the slats were broken or bent. There was a lot of damp and flaking paint. Several lightbulbs were not working. The plug in bath was very temperamental. There was work going on on cliff pass and our lovely sea view was obliterated by vans and trucks parked opposite and a large storage hut parked on the seafront. They said they are going to be there another 2 to 3 months. We hope to return next year and hope the apartment issues will be fixed!!

- Anita, May 2022
Paulene May 2022

“The apartment is lovely, tastefully furnished indicative of a great deal of thought, lovely beds and bedlinen.”

We appreciated the ta, coffe and wine. Thank you. Trying to open and close the blinds was difficult and the ones covering the door to the seating area are in badly need of repair. The proximity to the beach is as stated although sitting outside did not afford any privacy from neighbours. Although not the fault of the owners there was a lot of noise and disruption during the week from workmen and their vans, not forgetting the huge concrete mixer, again taking away any privacy (and peace!)

Richard March 2022

“We were very pleased overall with the apartment, but we did find the seating in the lounge area to be very low and not very comfortable.”

The beds were ok, and the kitchen appliances and equipment were very good. One little gripe…there was no ventilation possible to the outside other than having a door open, which is fine during the day when it’s warm outside but would not be so good for security reasons at night due to the patio area only being separated by a low wall from the public promenade.

- Richard, March 2022

Only recommendation would be to list the wifi pass on the router rather than hidden away in the guest feedback book..

“We had a great holiday in 1 At The Beach .”

The apartment was spotless and very well equipped and of course in an amazing position right on the beach . A special mention to John the caretaker who was brilliant in sorting out a problem with our heating late at night . A couple of not so good points though ... A real shame that there is no recycling for waste apart from the council skips at the Tank Car Park for newspapers and bottles . We had to take all our plastic , cardboard etc home with us . Secondly , you can hear virtually every movement from apartment 6 directly above , a real pain on a few days when there were particularly noisy people staying there ! All in all though a great holiday and we hope to stay again .

“Good afternoon We are home safe & sound having left at 06.”

00 The week was, as always, fantastic, so much so we’ve already secured No 1 for next September There are a couple of things I’d like to say ( a note was written before leaving) bearing in mind the cost of a weeks rental! you may wish to pass to the current owners albeit I’m aware it’s on the market. The patio table & 2 chairs were broken on arrival causing a slight fall from the chair & bruising suffered. It was therefore not conducive for 4 of us to eat at any time (very disappointing when on a sunny holiday) They may wish to do a check of the crockery etc. We found a cracked plate & chipped glass. I have on a couple of previous stays pointed out that the main bathroom needs a shower caddy of some description to store shampoo, soap etc there is one in the en-suite. The dishwasher needed salt, the fridge seemed to frost up a lot of the time. I had to leave a full dishwasher due to the time of leaving etc, thought a full clean load rather than dirty……sorry Unfortunately I suffered a bad nose bleed one night, did wash the duvet cover etc, and sponged the duvet the best I could ……sorry again. One final thing, there is a picture on the wall between the bedroom & en-suite of waves crashing in front of the apartment…..we love it, could they point us in the right direction to acquire the same. Apart from the above little niggles, we had an amazing time, John & his wife were, as always, very helpful, polite etc Already missing the sea & counting the days till 10/9/22 All the best Debbie, Paul & Jess the sproodle 07961027203

Alison July 2021

“The apartment is amazing where it is, the view, the facilities, the size of the apartment is super!”

Couple of drawbacks which is other occupants of apartments clearly bring more than one car so car park space is not guaranteed to be there when you return if you go out and there is little parking at Torcross which is a frustration (numbering the spaces would solve this I think). If hot it would be nice to open a window when sleeping but there are only doors to each room and on the ground floor this would not be secure to sleep with the door open however, there are tower fans in each room to provide air circulation. Still bearing those in mind, we would definitely return as being on the beach with sound and view of the sea is the best experience, we didn’t want to leave!

“A few things did not work or extra information required.”

Only two slots of four in the toaster worked. The plug in the bath did not work. The clocks were all an hour out. ( Could not adjust the clocks in the bathroom mirrors). The extractors in the bathrooms did not work, until the mains switch was switched on! (instruction required). None of the above detracted from our stay. One other thing, I believe I left me glasses at the property!! Overall a very good property, which I would be happy to book again.

Thank you for taking the time to write your feedback and letting us know about the windows and glass doors. We are sorry that you found these had not been cleaned on the changeover.

The standard of fittings, bed linen, kitchen bits were excellent. There was nothing you would want for. Everything was top standard and it was like being home from home

“Not properly clean On arrival we have to clean toilets, fridge and particulalry the outside area that had cigarettes, shards of glass and oil dripping from hinges of door.”

The table and chairs were filthy.

- Colin, August 2020

Many thanks for your feedback, although we were concerned to read that the property was not satisfactorily presented prior to your arrival. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with our owners and housekeepers to ensure high standards of cleanliness are maintained, so it is disappointing to read these comments. Your feedback has been passed on to the housekeeper/cleaner concerned. Please know that if we had been made aware of your issues whilst you were on holiday would have done our best to rectify the issues immediately. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We do hope that you had an enjoyable holiday in spite of the issues raised and look forward to welcoming you back to the area in the not too distant future. Property Owner

“Super Seafront Apartment in Beautiful Torcross.”

Beautiful Sunrise to be seen from the Bedrooms in the mornings. Extremely Clean and all that you could wish for provided. Only niggle would be to have a 'boiling water' sign on that little tap on the sink. Having never come across one of these before it was a bit of a shock when I used it. Luckily no burns. Other than that. Beautiful apartment and would recommend and return.

Our 2nd time at 1@the beach, amazing again A couple of things It asks for bins to be emptied etc, leaving a couple of black blags would be beneficial, also perhaps 1/2 dozen pegs to prevent washing blowing off of supplied airer A couple of extra toilet rolls when accommodating 4+ visitors Apart from little niggles PERFECT

“I have been booking this particular apartment, along with others, for many, many years.”

We have been coming to this building since 1981 when it was The Torcross Apartment Hotel Both the present and past owners of Apartment 1 At The Beach have gone to a huge amount of trouble in providing everything to make for the perfect luxury and relaxing holiday. It is excellent apart from two minor points. 1) When the kitchen was originally designed a larger fridge would have been ideal. The one in Apartment 2 is perfect. 2) It is never possible to lock the en-suite bathroom door, although I mention it every time I book. Kind regards.

“We have stayed At The Beach many times in various apartments.”

This was our first stay at No 1. It is a lovely large apartment, spotlessly clean and very stylish. Nice touch of a welcome pack and milk in the fridge too.

“Yup, this is me Mr.”

E whose wallet paid for this holiday so this is my come back. Firstly, for a holiday let, we could not really find anything negative about the apartment nor did we want to. Nicely appointed and located smack on the seafront, and the owner had put in a few welcoming touches, such as a bottle of vino, biscuits, a bottle of milk for a needed cuppa, a butler and maid and blowup doll.... joking about the last three amigos :) Entry to the property was a bit fiddly piddly pressing a sequence of command buttons at the front door... shucks, no one appeared, but we soon got the hang of it, the wife before me but she is one smart one she is. Next the long corridor to No1 and the fiddly bit again, getting access to the apartment key from a wall safe, finding the key hole in the dim lit corridor... why oh why are holiday lets always dimly lit... we must have looked like crims trying to bust in. Once in, nice. The sea view looking out was all the therapy I needed to calm down after a 230mile drive with the sat nav playing silly buggers for the last mile or so. Parking... not the best but managed to leave the family car diagonally out side the front entrance. The designated parking area is around the corner, up a narrow alley turn right into a gated parking lot. Not the best for an old codger with a stick lugging stuff. Suggest you join a gym, keep fit and have your doc check you out on a heart monitor and don't do it in the rain! I left the family wagon and horses parked diagonally at the front entrance, sod the inconvenience of the parking lot! As far as I could tell there were no provision shops nearby and what appeared to be shops were closed and probably being converted to holiday lets. There was a take away... spied a sandwich on offer at nine quid... God knows what they charge for a SubWay filled loaf? The one pub that also did meals, and take aways only had a token dog friendly welcome (huh!) bewteen 3pm and 6pm, the grave yard hours when takings are slow and low... so my beloved well traveled little Yorkie gave me a look which said 'lets skip this joint and go up market where people are accommodating, follow my lead (pun)'. Final verdict: nice chill out apartment, well appointed (had fun in the jaccuzzi bathtub retrieving my rubber duck from under the soap bubbles, yeah!) and enjoying the sea front. Would I go again? Erm, I want to see what else is on offer but recommended if you can deal with initial hasselments.

“The apartment was stunning and the location of the apartment was perfect.”

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely use Coast & Country again. We felt that the apartment was clean, comfortable and suitable for us and our requirements. Thank you for a lovely holiday and for a brilliant apartment.

“Had a slight problem gaining entry and could find no provision for electric shaver or toothbrush.”

But apart from these minor hiccups we had an excellent getaway, helped by the magnificent weather.

The property

‘At the Beach’ is a stunning development of luxury apartments and cottages situated on the very edge of the sea at Slapton Sands, just a few yards from the beach, village pub and cafes.

A sympathetic transformation of the former ‘Torcross Hotel’, it’s a combination of Victorian elegance and modern day comfort.

1 At The Beach is a spacious, ground floor apartment, with sweeping views across Start Bay.

The open plan living area is stylish and contemporary, and boasts double French doors opening to a private terrace (with table and four chairs), directly overlooking Slapton beach.

There is a well equipped kitchen with breakfast bar extension, and round glass dining table, each seating four.

Comfortable living room with large sofa, tub chairs, TV/DVD, and a wall mounted electric fire.

Master suite enjoys sea views and double doors leading onto the terrace, a King-size bed with Vi-Spring mattress, and en suite bathroom with a spa bath, and separate shower.

Second bedroom also enjoys sea views, with King-size bed, flat screen TV and sofa.

In addition, there is a fully tiled shower room.

A superb location from which to enjoy the South West Coast Path and beyond, either on foot, by bicycle or car.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
