​Beachfront Cottage with Sea Views & Coastal Walks​

Wake up to the sound of the waves and enjoy a true seaside escape at Boathouse Cottage, a beautiful dog friendly coastal cottage in Devon. Perfect for families, couples, or friends, this unique retreat combines comfort, charm, and breathtaking sea views right on your doorstep.

Here at Your Devon Escape we will leave you alone to enjoy your time but are on hand if you need us.

Boathouse Cottage is located halfway between the nearby towns of Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. Overlooking Torcross Beach, this cottage finds itself on the South West Coast Path. Explore the coastline on foot in either direction, towards Blackpool Sands or Start Point Lighthouse. The views are spectacular with many great pubs and restaurants along the way before returning to your idyllic coastal cottage.

Within walking distance of this coastal cottage, you will find a local shop and a great selection of pubs and eateries. For a big supermarket, head into the local towns of Kingsbridge or Dartmouth.

The area is home to its own unique World War Two history. Make sure to check out the Sherman Tank located in the beach car park and learn the moving story of what took place here in 1943.

Torcross Beach is one of the UK’s dog friendly beaches, so make sure to bring your pooch along for your trip to Devon! It is the perfect place to relax, swim, walk or paddleboard. On top of being a popular beach to both visitors and locals alike, it plays an important part in the survival of some of the UK’s rarest flora and fauna. Head to Slapton Ley Field Centre to learn about the local wildlife.
