Strete couldn’t be better placed for exploring this exceptionally beautiful stretch of coastline with the breath taking golden sweep of Slapton Sands in one direction, and pretty Blackpool Sands and then on to Dartmouth in the other. 

The village itself is made up of a few thatched cottages and larger properties snaking along the coast road and you’ll be made to feel welcome both in the well-stocked village shop and cliff top pub.  Stroll along the South West Coast Path or jump in the car heading west and you’ll very soon come to the 3 mile golden arc of Slapton Sands backed by Slapton Ley Nature Reserve.  With so much room on the beach it never feels crowded, and if you’d like to stretch your legs you can head up to Torcross for fish and chips on the sea wall as the sun goes down, or enjoy a meal at a choice of two excellent pubs in Slapton village.   

Travelling west from Strete along the coast road towards Dartmouth you’ll soon find yourself at Blackpool Sands, a family friendly golden sand and shingle beach backed by wooded cliffs reminiscent of the Mediterranean.  Here you’ll find everything you need for the perfect day on the beach including RNLI life guards, excellent food, snacks and ice creams from the Venus Café and if you’re feeling adventurous paddleboard and kayak hire. 

A trip to historic Dartmouth should be on everyone’s holiday bucket list with its picturesque harbour and tiny cobbled streets lined with art galleries, boutiques, café’s and bars.  Watch the hustle and bustle on the estuary from a shore side restaurant as fishing boats and yachts vie for position, children catch crabs or leap off the wall in summer time and the odd seal pokes its head out to see what’s going on.  From here you can take a boat trip upriver to the pretty waterside village of Dittisham, take a water taxi to Dartmouth Castle at the harbour mouth, or jump on a steam train to explore the beautiful Dart estuary in style.

With all this to see and do a holiday cottage in Strete offers an excellent base to explore this beautiful area.

My son and his girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed their SUP experience,the instructor was friendly and helpful,and delivered boards and equipment directly to the beach in front of apartment.

June 2023


Visited on a sunny morning in May so quite busy. We were greeted at the entrance, seated inside then left. No menu provided, I had to ask for it. A couple who arrived well after us had their order taken first. We waited for ages. Then discovered there is a half hour hour gap between breakfast orders ending and lunch orders beginning when only cakes are availble, not even a sandwich. Staff were rushed and inattentive, disappointing experience.
