Glen Cottage

Glen Cottage is located a short drive away from Torcross and Slapton Sands. Slapton Sands offers a 1.2 mile stretch of shingle beach. This area of coastline is a historic site, well-known for its role in the Allied preparations for the D-Day landings - you can even touch a real-life Sherman tank which was recovered from the waters just in front. If you're a nature lover, Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve is a fantastic spot located adjacent to the beach. The lake here is the largest natural lake in south west England and is wonderful for walking and wildlife watching.

If it is a beach day you seek, you are spoilt for choice in every direction. However, for a beach which offers all amenities, you have the very popular and stunning Blackpool Sands just around the corner, which offers takeaway food from the restaurant, or a fabulous menu to sit in and dine, a beach shop which caters for all and the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic choice of watersports using their hire equipment, not forgetting their fabulous seaside sauna.

Enjoying the local villages and towns is also a must. The wonderful towns of Kingsbridge and Salcombe are within easy reach, offering independent shops, cute cafes and welcoming pubs and, if you fancy picking up some fresh local produce for mealtimes, Stokeley Farm Shop is only a short car journey away and perfect for the foodies of the party.

You cannot visit this part of the world and not take a trip to marvel at the Naval port of Dartmouth; a delightful ten minute coastal drive will get you there in no time. Dartmouth is an exceptionally popular town, boasting many delightful cafes, pubs and top-class eateries. Exploring and enjoying this wonderful town is a pleasure for all generations, especially if you are an art lover.

As you are so close, why not hop across the water on the ferry, followed by a short car drive and you are in the bustling harbour town of Brixham.
