“Absolutely fantastic place to stay.”

The facilities were excellent, with everything you would need for a comfortable break away. The view from the lounge doors was stunning and we managed to see several seals swimming in the sea. The sunrise was stunning and to top it off the host was so helpful and made the stay even better. We will definitely be staying again.

“The perfect little apartment to return to after a long day on the beach and exploring!”

Steve and Kay were super helpful in giving recommendations of what to do in the area and the best pubs to visit! Will be recommending to family and friends and definitely returning ourselves.

Mr Elliott May 2021

“My wife and I enjoy a few days in this absolutely beautiful location , the apartment was ideal for us and our two frenchies , the log burner was excellent although for the price I was expecting some more wood included.”

The instructions sent before by the owner was most welcome. We couldn’t get the Wi-fi to work at all but it was really needed. Overall we loved our stay and will be returning.

Mr Sherratt May 2021

“Amazing place to stay the little things like the Binoculars to watch the ships in and out of Plymouth to the bed which is of the highest quality.”

Torcross its self is a beautiful place if you are looking for a relaxing time away a pub two cafes plenty of history from ww 2. I would highly recommend no 2 Bay view.

Mrs Sawyer April 2021

“Really enjoyed the apartment with views of the bay, cosy log burner and everything needed to self cater.”

Locally good walking routes with Slapton Ley just behind the apartment. Dartmouth & Salcombe easily accesssble too. The beach right outside. Not sure how easy parking would be in the busy summer months, we did not have an issue throughout our stay, about 10 off road free spaces, or paid parking 8am to 10pm no weekly ticket available.

“Fantastic little property, in a brilliant rural location.”

Stop off in Kingsbridge on your way and do a full shop at either Tesco or Morrisons. There is limited parking available and we always managed to get a free spot. I can imagine this may change in peak season. There is a coffee shop, cafe and pub almost next door which was really handy, but no village shop currently. We picked up a takeaway meal from the pub most evenings, very tasty! The apartment was lovely, the log burner was a real bonus! The only area which lets the apartment down a bit is the bathroom, the weak shower over the bath and the intimate encounter with the shower curtain that likes to hug tightly to your skin. We would really recommend visits to Salcombe, Brixham(use the Dartmouth ferry crossing), Thurlstone/South Milton sands. We really wished to have visited Blackpool sands as it looked stunning when we drove past, but it was too windy! It’s a fantastic little part of the world if you fancy getting away from all the madness!

Miss Cumbley December 2020

“Such a wonderful apartment in an amazing location.”

We booked our Christmas 2020 break back in 2019 and with the way the world was going we were unsure if it would or should happen, but, by the time it came around, my goodness, we are glad it did. Gorgeous apartment and the view from the living room is just beautiful. In fact, we loved it so much we actually booked our next break to 2 Bayview whilst we were still there. Can't wait to go back

- Miss Cumbley, December 2020
Mr Sim October 2020

“Bay view is a cosy apartment ideal for a break if you like relaxing with a great sea view, if your into lazy beach walks or up for more adventurous sea pursuits then this is perfect for you, a pub which also serves food a few yards away is ideal for refreshments.”

The property has everything your need for your stay although the bath is small with an over shower that is also very constricted with a curtain that will stick to you, that said you can make do. Parking is ok this time of year as you can park on a single yellow line behind the property I would guess during the high season you would struggle too park during the day as it’s very popular with visitors and if you did find a place you have to pay unless you can grab a free space outside the Billy Can premises but this is very much hit and miss. Overall we had a nice time without any issues for this time of year.

- Mr Sim, October 2020
Mr Duncan September 2020

“Great apartment with great facilities.”

Binoculars was a nice touch. Fantastic views. We spotted some seals. Had meal in the local pub on the front. Sea Bass was lovely but expensive. We got lucky with the weather. Bed was nice .great walks in the area.best bring your own booze as nowhere local to buy without driving.All in all a great place .

Mrs Leonard August 2020

“We have good and bad points of our stay in this accommodation so will start with the positives:- Close proximity to beach and facilities, wonderful view from lounge, comfy, quiet bedroom.”

On the downside we found the bathroom door very dirty with fingerprints on both sides, thankfully we had brought anti bac spray and wipes, neither of which were available at the property and wasn’t really planning on having to clean on our holidays.The frame to the lounge door, when open, was thick with cobwebs and the horrid little black midges which get everywhere so hadn’t been touched in a long time. Only 1 key supplied so not good if 1 of you wants to go to the beach and the other go for a walk. There were only 2 cereal bowls and 2 wine glasses, but ample plates and soup bowls. There was milk in the fridge on arrival but perhaps some bread would have been handy as the village shop is now closed and it’s a Sunday change over at 3pm so doesn’t give you much time to dash up to the Farm shop if you hadn’t come prepared. Parking is expensive and difficult now you can’t purchase a weekly permit. We love Torcross and have been many times over the years and will return again but sadly, not to this property.

- Mrs Leonard, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback We are disappointed that you did not contact us during your stay as we would have been happy to quickly resolve any issues you may have experienced. We could have provided you with a second key, although most of our guests tend to leave the key in the key safe when they go out. Similarly, we would have brought you some extra bowls and glasses if you had let us know. We are sorry to hear about your parking costs, but our advance information email did contain detailed advice on how to limit these costs. We also endeavoured to provide you with information about the closure of the store in Torcross, including alternative options for supplies nearby. We hope that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Mr Ellicott February 2020

“The accommodation was exactly as described with a homely feel.”

We wanted for nothing and was well equiped for our stay. The view of start bay was incredible and the holiday was a relaxing week for us and our dogs, inspire of having back to back storms.

- Mr Ellicott, February 2020
Mrs Mortimer December 2019

“We had a wonderful holiday over the Christmas period.”

The apartment with sea views was lovely & comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. Thank you to the owners for making it special. Torcross is a hidden gem, unspoilt, beautiful with such friendly people. Start Bay Inn is a lovely friendly pub & their fish & chips are yummy! I would definitely recommend to people who want a chilled out relaxing holiday.

- Mrs Mortimer, December 2019
Ms Blackburn October 2019

“We found the property to be very well equipped, especially with things like spare bulbs, batteries and a first aid kit.”

.. It has obviously been prepared with a lot of thought and is clean, tidy and full of charm. We loved the views and its position in the area that we know so well. Our October holiday meant that parking was not a problem. However we would have appreciated a bathroom towel rail and perhaps a grab handle for use of shower - in such a confined space, we found shower access a bit tricky. None of this spoiled our holiday - we will be back!

- Ms Blackburn, October 2019
Mr Cain October 2019

“The apartment was very nice, the bathroom a little tight when taking a shower.”

The cushions on the back of the sofas could do with refilling or something as they would not stay in position and at times were uncomfortable. That said we had a lovely week, very relaxing and quiet.

- Mr Cain, October 2019
Mrs Tovey September 2019

“Lovely and relaxing break in a well equipped, ideally based property.”

Definitely recommend and will be rebooking.

“Great apartment, well equipped, fantastic views”

- Mr Bryan, September 2019
Mrs Wilson September 2019

“We had a wonderful time at Torcross beach .”

The apartment was very wellcoming , comfy and just right for our needs . We made use of the washing machine , which is very very noisy, But quick wash is great . Could do with a guide of some kind to tell you straight off where everything is eg we were there all week before we discovered where the fire wood was . Only one bath sheet each and one hand towel each , luck had it we took extra anyway. Apartment was very well presented no expense has been spared in the art work and ornaments . All in all a nice place . Dogs absolutely loved being so close to the beach .

- Mrs Wilson, September 2019
Mrs Cook July 2019

“This was a gem of an apartment.”

. it was amazing to be able to sit in the lounge with the door open and feel as if you are right ontop of the sea. It was well worth waking up at 5 am to see the most amazing sun rise ever. Inside the apartment there was really good artwork and interesting accessories. I loved this apartment and think things could get quite interesting in bad weather as it is that close to the sea. Will aim to go back one day.

- Mrs Cook, July 2019
Mrs Kenyon July 2019

“Great apartment has all that you need for a relax holiday.”

Amazing view use the table provided have dinner by the window. The down side is no village shop so I used Tesco's home delivery service and parking can be a issue. If you follow instructions its not a problem we got free parking outside the old village store . Great local bus service to Kings bridge and Dartmouth we got a weeks ticket for 30.00 each great value. You see amazing views going to Dartmouth . Lovely walk to Bee sands . Lovely food from cafe and the pubs and they do take away so you can eat it on the beach on a nice night. Would go back for a nice chilled out holiday would highly recommend it.

Mrs Butler June 2019

“Spent a wonderful relaxing week at 2 Bayview in Torcross.”

The accommodation far exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, comfortable and well thought out. Just like home from home! The bed was very comfortable and we slept like logs. Explored the surrounding area with days out to Hope Cove, Salcombe etc. Would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely part of the country and flat to anybody wanting a relaxing holiday.

- Mrs Butler, June 2019
Mrs Tennant-Eyles May 2019

“It was a lovely flat and only wish it had another bedroom!”

Would recommend highly. Anne

Mr Brotherdale May 2019

“The welcome pack consisted of a pint of milk.”

thecourtyard was disgusting there was a rainwater butt which was full of stagnent water which attracted all manor of insects which made it impossible to sit in the yard. the yard also consisted numerous pots full of dead plants. the steps up to the entrance were dirty and were infested with antts and other creatures. as for the inside. the sofas were most uncomfortable. the bathroom was very cramped could not adjust the central heating as the boiler was in a locked cupboard. so we were told when we would feel cold. tv very hard to operate. torcross was a lovely place and will be back however not to this apartment. i would have thought your company would carry out an inspection of the properties you offer to your customers. obviously you do not. you also advertise the property in a village yet their are no shops for miles around.

- Mr Brotherdale, May 2019

“2nd visit to Bay view and thoroughly enjoyed our stay in a fantastic location.”

Great holiday apartment with everything catered for and a fantastic view of the beach and sea at Torcross

Mrs Mullery December 2018

“We had a wonderfull stay over Christmas, the flat is very cosy and it has amazing views across the sea from the front room window and it was lovely to hear the gently lapping waves hitting the beach below.”

There are three lovely places to eat along the front, we highly recomend The Boat House for fresh fish and chips. The owners are very friendly and helpful we received a very informative email a few days before our arrival, the flat is spotless with everything needed to make our stay perfect. A great place to stay will definetly return soon.

Miss Malone June 2018

“Wow just perfect.”

....what a beautiful week we had stunning views stunning apartment owners are extremely helpful nothing too much ! The peace and tranquilty was just right unspoilt from the normal seaside resort We had fresh seafood crab crab from start bay inn just a stroll away We had most of our evenings sat having dinner looking out at the sea on the useful table and chairs provided which can be conveniently stored away....ready to relax and sit on the sofas looking at the changing tides just wonderful ! We have booked for next year.

- Miss Malone, June 2018
Mrs Newman June 2018

“2 Bayview is comfortable, well equipped and ideal for relaxing in Torcross and exploring the surrounding region.”

The owners contacted us prior to our holiday with additional information regarding road closures and update on the property which was most helpful.We enjoyed many a meal sat overlooking the beach from the window watching the fishing boats and one evening had the company of a seal. The walk up the Coast Path to Beesand took us 65 year olds 45 minutes, stopping to admire the views, lunch in The Cricket Inn is a must and was well worth the return walk. We found purchasing a weekly parking pass was good value especially if you want to leave the car in Torcross all day, as free parking is very limited in the village.

The property

In Torcross, a charming first-floor apartment, one of three created with much flair by the owner and looking straight to the beach and out to sea: a lovely view.

The seafront road is traffic-free, except for access.

From a small, enclosed courtyard (table/chairs, shared access), own outside stairs (partial handrail only) up to porch, front door and hall.

Living room with woodburner, breakfast bar/stools, TV/DVD, door to balustrade and that lovely view; this is divided from the kitchen (slimline dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker) by a semi-open old timber and plaster screen.

Pretty double bedroom (5' bed) and bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

A magical place to stay and remarkably peaceful for a prime seafront position. Torcross: village (shops, PO, pub, restaurants, chapel) of fishermen's old cottages and Victorian houses at the southern end of Slapton Sands and the fresh water lagoon of Slapton Ley.

Beautiful, unspoilt coast and country (hilly farmland, stream-valleys): Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a nature conservation zone and Coastal Preservation Area.

Superb cliff walks.

Dartmouth (town), 9 miles; Thurlestone, 11; Salcombe, 13½.
