About this property

Spacious flat: stunning views, close to beaches and pub - family & dog friendly

A spacious first floor apartment with a master bedroom with en-suite (including whirlpool bath) and a second bedroom with double bed. Two sofa beds in the lounge for additional guests.

There is a separate shower room which includes washing and drying machines, toilet and basin. The lounge is very spacious with fabulous views towards Thurlestone Sands, Thurlestone Rock and rolling countryside at the rear. There is a dining area with room to seat 6.

The apartment building is set within around 4 acres of grounds, and includes dedicated car park. It is a very quiet location from which to relax.

Thurlestone is a pretty village with thatched houses, and village church. The flat is 5 minutes walk from the local pub, and Thurlestone Village Store and Post Office. Four excellent beaches are all within walking distance.

It is great for walkers, with direct access to South West Coastal footpath and local dog friendly beaches.

The flat is located around 8 miles from Salcombe and 4 miles from Kingsbridge.

Amazing location & views

Firstly, the location and views were amazing. It’s an incredible view from the lounge. The apartment was very well stocked. If you forget to bring anything, there is a probably a supply in one of the cupboards! However, we were disappointed with the cleanliness. It looked like it hadn’t been cleaned recently. It was not ‘hotel standards’ which the owner claimed the cleaners aim for. Very dusty in places and the carpet was thick with dog hair, including clumps in places. Some places had clearly not been cleaned at all (on the kitchen floor below the cooker which was very dirty). The apartment looks like it needs some money spent on it too. The main bathroom is in need of modernisation (although the en-suite is clearly newer and more modern) and some of the decor etc feels quite old fashioned. The floor was ‘spongey’ in the hallway and bathroom (rotting sub floor?). There was minor rust within some alliances (eg fridge and dishwasher). We probably wouldn’t have booked had we been aware of some of these things but we would come back if the apartment has some money spent on it because we love the location and views! In the owner’s defence, he was quick to respond and was keen to address our concerns. If these things don’t bother you, then this is a great apartment, in a brilliant spot with stunning views.

Well this property delivered beyond our expectations. Such a clean, spacious and tastefully decorated apartment. Beds were so comfortable. But it’s the views that were amazing, short walk to a fantastic pub with great food. Easy walk to the beaches or a very short drive. We will return…loved by the who family!

Lovely flat with amazing views

We really enjoyed our stay at this flat. It is light and airy, with stunning views from every room. It is well set up with all the equipment you might need, plus lots of extras for kids. It is lovely and peaceful, with no noise from the other flats in the house. The grounds are lovely too, with lots of room for kids to play or have a bbq. It is an easy walk to both Thurlestone and Bantham, and there is a footpath directly to the coast path and the beaches. We did lots of surfing at Bantham, and canoeing on the Avon and the Salcombe estuaries, as well as some stunning walks along the coast. If you like peace and quiet, and doing lots of outdoor activities this is a great place to stay. The owner, Chris, is very helpful and responds straight away to any messages. Altogether, we highly recommend this property.

Half term break

Having already visited previously we wanted to return to Thurlestone with the children during half term. Despite the weather we had a good week. The apartment is lovely and has fantastic views. It has everything you need for all ages. We had a slight hiccup with the arrival and the cleaner but this was soon rectified and Chris the owner dealt with this quickly and sufficiently. We were unable to use the bath during the week due to suspected plumbing issues linked to the main building, which is currently being investigated and fixed. This was a little inconvenient as easier with the baby but the shower in the 2nd bathroom was fine and we were able to manage. Chris was in contact regularly, updating us. This certainly didn’t put us off and we will be returning in the future. It really is a lovely place to stay and we would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful apartment with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Absolutely stunning views to the coast and surrounding countryside. Loved the location as you can see so much. The area is beautiful too, lovely beaches and good local pubs to walk to. The Beach House cafe/restaurant is a must on South Milton Sands, excellent food all freshly made. Would definitely recommend this property!

Stunning Stay

The flat is in a perfect location...easy access to Thurlestone village...numerous walks and just the best views! The flat is very spacious...immaculately clean...warm and despite the constant winds blowing outside...very quiet. It has everything you need and an instruction book for all the electronics. Chris was easily available to reply to a couple of initial questions(we didn’t find the black welcome book until the second day)...we had such a great trip we are already looking at when we can return.

Fantastic property in a lovely location and spotlessly clean. Much bigger than it looks online.

We've just returned from a fantastic week at the Downs and would definitely recommend this property. The location and views are amazing, beaches are walkable and Thurlestone itself is just a short walk along the path. It's right on the coastal path as well so is great for longer walks. The property itself is excellent, possibly the cleanest property we've stayed in, and the pictures online don't do it justice, it's much more spacious than it looks. Chris is a great host and very good at responding to any questions we had. The only reasons that this wasn't a 5 were because there didn't seem to be a hairdryer, although this was specifically listed, which meant a swift amazon prime delivery was needed, and because of a slight issue in getting hold of the keys. This seems to have been a one off though and Chris sorted it really quickly for us. Overall a wonderful, well-equipped property which is definitely worth a stay.

About the host

Hosted by Christopher Osborne

Host profile image
My wife and I have been holidaying in Thurlestone for the last 10 years or so. In the last 9 years we have been lucky enough to share this amazing location with our two energetic daughters (and labrador) who all absolutely love visiting the local beaches.

Our flat is great for couples and families with children of all ages. We have accommodated the needs of families by providing a travel cot, high chair, and monitors based on our own experiences of renting holiday homes and have tried to think of everything to make life easier and enjoyable for you!

We hope you enjoy the flat as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

The most relaxing location we have ever stayed in! Amazing views and great location. Fantastic for couples and families, golfers, bird watchers, walkers (we are literally on the door step of South West Coast path), surfers, paddleboarders, fisherman, or for those that purely wish to relax and take in the views.

What makes this property unique

Stunning views, quiet location in close proximity to four amazing beaches, village with local pub and great walks. Bantham beach has been voted one of the top 10 beaches in Europe and is described by Lonely Planet as “a true all-rounder, good for surfers, families and walkers.”
