If you're in search of a truly idyllic coastal escape, there are few places that match Torcross. With its secluded position on the South Hams coast and lack of overbearing buildings, it exudes a quintessentially seaside village atmosphere while boasting some of the best views in Devon. Overlooking three miles of white shingle and a bay that seems to disappear into the horizon, it's no wonder Torcross is a most sought-after location, and for those looking to experience authentic coastal living, this wonderful holiday home couldn't be more perfectly suited.

One of only a handful of properties that sit right on the seafront 3 Bayview is a rare find indeed, where the beach and water rest mere metres from its front door and wonderful ocean views form the backdrop to nearly all of its rooms. It goes without say that holidays here are magical. Original features and coast inspired décor lend an away-from-it-all feel to the place, with luxury furnishings infusing comfort throughout so you can completely unwind within minutes of plonking your bags down. Deceptively spacious, 3 Bayview is laid over two floors, and along with a separate kitchen/ diner and large top floor living room, there are also three good size bedrooms, the biggest of which being a fantastic master suite. Window seats found in the main bedroom and lounge make perfect perches for spotting Start Bay's resident seals and dolphins, and if you're looking for a place to catch up on a bit of reading in the sunshine, you'll be able to sneak away to the small private balcony at the back of the home with views over Slapton Ley.

Being metres from Start Bay Inn means fresh fish suppers are just a few steps away, or for a full English brekkie (of eye-watering proportions), Stokeley Farm Shop is just minutes by car. But there's no getting away from the fact that Torcross is all about its beach, and what a beach it is! Looking positively Mediterranean on a bright, blue-sky day, its waters are clear and calm and just right for kayaking, swimming or windsurfing (if conditions are right). On cooler days you'll be able to stroll along the shore and take in those exceptional ocean scenes or hop in the car and pop over to Dartmouth for shopping sprees followed by lunch on the River Dart.
