17 At The Beach

Fantastic place a local shop would be nice but otherwise spectacular location and property

The property itself is quite lovely, somewhere to put your toiletries in the bathrooms would have been useful. Other than that a perfectly adequate property. The location whilst beautiful to look at, lacks any real amenities. The shop is no longer open. The pub does good food. The Seabreeze was hit and miss. Great the first day but rubbish the second time. The boathouse avoid at all costs. Frozen fish and chips at a premium price. The parking which comes with the property was also hit and miss and we ended up having to park in the street one night as the car park was full. The nearby towns were a real shock. We love the charm of both Cornwall and Devon. Salcombe, Kingsbridge, not so much Dartmouth (but basically most of South Hams) lacked any charm and felt like it had been taken over by a strange arrogant mix of city boys and Kensington folks. The few locals that we encountered agreed that the area was being taken over. We ended up going Brixham Way in order to find the charm and friendliness we are used to and in order to not leave Devon completely disillusioned.

Stayed at 17 At the Beach for 12 days, 2 adults and 2 dogs, location was fabulous for beach and a couple of pubs serving pub food, one of the pubs was not open in evenings, winter hours I believe. The apartment was clean and tidy with modern fixtures and fittings spread over 3 floors. We found out the hard way that the road is closed from Torquay side meaning a large detour to get to Torcross, visited many places within an hours drive of Torcross during our time there which was great for walking/dogs. All in all worth a visit, the closed road was being worked on when we were there meaning it will re-open at some point

Great holiday in a marvellous place, road closure caused a small problem, if you don’t want to drive the bus service to various places is really good. The coast path is right next to the accommodation and you can choose walks to suit all abilities. We were really lucky with the weather which in itself is always a bonus in this country, would certainly visit again. There was one small village shop for milk, papers etc however this closes in September so unless another opens in it’s place a walk to the farm shop(15 mins or 5min drive required),
