Toad Hall Cottages

(As the property is currently being refurbished, the details below may vary slightly on completion)

Goodwinds, a recently refurbished terraced Victorian seaside cottage, sits alongside the sea wall that protects the village of Torcross and enjoys glorious views of Start Bay. The beach, just steps from the front door, is the western end of the golden three mile stretch of shingle that is Slapton Sands. Flanked on one side by the freshwater lake of Slapton Ley, a national nature reserve, this beautiful area is a haven for naturalists, bird watchers, walkers and beach lovers alike. Watersports equipment can be hired on the beach including kite surfing with qualified instructors. After an energetic day on the beach or walking the Coastal Path take your ease from the comfort of this family home on the terrace and watch the ships on the horizon, or enjoy a glass of wine in the evening sunshine in the rear patio garden overlooking the Ley. Goodwinds is a very comfortable, attractive property, well equipped, bright and fresh after its recent refurbishment and ideally situated for a wonderful beach-side holiday.
