About this apartment rental
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.
Pets: 1 Pet permitted. Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation.
We ask our guests for a £100 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.

Less luxurious than other Luxury Coastal properties we have stayed in, especially given the price. A few niggles with hot water and rickety dining chairs.
A few parts of the property do need a spruce up. Hallway smelled very damp all week. Outside space felt tired and unloved.
However the location is undeniably beautiful and this is what made our holiday! Sea views all day and night, hearing the waves 24/7. Beach and sea only steps away so swimming, fishing, even enjoying a cup of tea moments from the door.
Lovely window seats that we enjoyed. Beautiful upstairs bedroom with ensuite and double aspect windows.
We know Torcross and the surrounding areas so have our favourite places. Locally the Boathouse cafe and takeaway is fantastic, cake in the Billy Can, The Start Bay Inn, Queens Arms at Slapton and love Stokely Farm Shop and Cafe.
A lovely week enjoyed in a fantastic location!

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2024
Lovely apartment right on the beach
Lots of stairs and a few low beams to be careful of.
No outside storage at all … both sides of the front patio are owned by neighbouring property as they pointed out to us when we put camp chair outside our front door. They don’t own the beach or the promenade which was only 3 metres away though.
Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen … exceptional views out to sea and small balcony at top overlooking slapton ley.
Good weather, great swimming and kayaking … we had a fab week.
Local pub excellent and farm shop and brewery 20 minute walk away.

We arrived at about 8.30 pm after driving around 4oo miles, including some sight seeing detours. We were stunned by the beautiful scenery on the approach.
When we got into 3 Bayview we were confronted by cobwebs. Everywhere. Literally everywhere. If it had been Halloween we would have thought it was decorated.
There was dust over the fireplace and it took more than an hour to clean the place.
Previous reviews talk of a welcome pack. That must be a thing of the past.
They talk of thick, luxurious towels. They, too , are no more. We found clean, small, cheap, bleach-stained towels instead. That really wasn't an issue for us but it is a sign that standards have slipped over time.
One evening I decided to cook. I put food on the hob and, eventually figured how to put the extractor on. It dumped white dust everywhere over the hob, the food and, to a lesser extent, me.
The design of the accommodation is fantastic. The views, both front and back are gorgeous. The bed was comfortable.
The holiday was great.
It's just a shame that the attention to cleaning and basic maintenance was poor.
