About this cottage rental
The lodge is sited in one of the loveliest areas in England - a designated area of outstanding natural beauty with the freshwater lagoon of Slapton Ley at it's heart.
The lodge has it's own garden within extensive grounds which overlook the long crescent stretch of Slapton Sands and the craggy headland that curves around to Start Point lighthouse.
Refurbished in a contemporary style the lodge has wonderful sea views and sits above the shingle beach at Strete Gate - just 10 minutes walk away. The award winning Blackpool Sands is a couple of miles away.
Situated at the mouth of the River Dart is the historic naval port of Dartmouth with it's wealth of galleries, shops and cafes and restaurants.
Dartmouth is known for it's narrow streets, overhanging medieval houses and old quays, with the historic Mayflower having set sail for the New World America from Bayards Cove.
A boat trip up river will take you to Agatha Christie's house "Greenways" and "Coleton Fishacre" once the home of the D'Oyly Carte family is at Kingswear.
Further afield the beautiful beaches of Bantham (our local surfing beach) Bigbury and South Milton as well as Salcombe and Hope Cove are all within striking distance.
When making a booking for peak season one week breaks normally run from Friday to Friday
No smoking property and pet free
April 2026 - please note that due to storm damage the A379 coast road is temporarily closed to cars between the Slapton turn off and Torcross Village
You can however walk (or cycle) on the damaged road – and it takes about 25 minutes on foot from the Slapton Memorial car park to Torcross

Everything was as advertised. Great location with fantastic views. Very clean and well supplied with all you need for a wonderful stay. Host responded immediately to address a minor issue that arose. You could not find a better place to meet spend a week in the area.

After a challenging search to find the 'right' property in the beautiful Strete/Slapton area we felt we had struck gold with Coleridge Lodge. And so it proved to be. The location, with a great sea view from the garden (especially when lit by the morning sun), was a major bonus - but the well-equipped Lodge itself proved just right for our needs.Though its contemporary and somewhat' minimalist' interiors were not to our normal taste we appreciated the sense of light and space they gave and came to feel very much at home!The owner was helpful and friendly with any queries we had. Thank you Deb for a very enjoyable week in this lovely part of Devon!

Great property set in beautiful grounds and the perfect location for getting out and about. We felt really at home during our stay and were quite sad to leave. Lots of things to see. Out top town being Totnes. Best place to eat, the pub at Start Bay, just 5mins drive. Gorgeous beach with lots of history which we learned from Ian, our very knowledgeable and generous host. Thank you Deb and Ian for a lovely holiday.
