Bright spacious 2 Bed Apartment in Thurlestone with Stunning views

A bright spacious ground floor 2 bedroom apartment with stunning sea glimpses and views across to the rolling hills above Hope Cove. Enjoy an al fresco lunch on the south facing patio or treat yourself to a sun bathe in the private enclosed garden. The apartment is perfectly situated at the top of Thurlestone village in close proximity to the handy village store stocked with local produce, post office and recently renovated 12th century inn, serving local beers and a great selection of food. A short stroll through the picture box thatched village heart will take you to the unspoilt beaches of Yarmer, Lea’s foot, Broadsands and the iconic Thurlestone Sands or you can join the South West Coastal Path to walk to the fishing villages of Inner and Outer Hope or to the surfer’s favourite Bantham beach and Burgh Island with its famous Art Deco hotel and sea tractor access.

The apartment is well equipped for your perfect rural Devon getaway whilst providing easy access to local facilities. It features 2 large double bedrooms, a family bathroom with bath/shower, kitchen diner with dishwasher and a spacious lounge area with ample seating, smart TV and great views. Outside there is a split-level garden providing an upper patio area with table and chairs and a lower secluded traditional garden. There is a parking space for 1 car on the driveway and room on the quiet cul-de-sac for further parking if required. It also has high speed fibre broadband.

The local area provides a plethora of holidaying options, whether taking a relaxing beach holiday, eating out, shopping in the local towns such as Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Totnes and Dartmouth, or for the more active there are a vast selection of walks coastal, countryside or exploring Dartmoor. Further local activities include pony trekking, biking, golfing, tennis and if it’s water adventure you’re after, there’s sailing, boat hire, paddle boarding, local beaches providing surf hire, or just enjoying the simple timeless pleasures of rock pooling and crabbing.

The apartment is perfect for a family holiday or a couple’s getaway (up to 4 people) and is well equipped with the usual holiday home essentials.

Everything you need

The apartment is spacious for 2 beds, kitchen very well equipped. Was nice to have plastic plates and cups for kids. Whilst the garden is at the front and only patio and gravel it got lots of sun and the kids loved filling a digger up with the stones!! We did have an issue whilst we we there and Pauline pro actively resolved this for us

Amazing host

The host was lovely and extremely helpful. Communication excellent with detailed directions to the house. Could not have wished for a better half term. Maybe just a but more sunshine, but with Plymouth being in driving distance there were enough activities to keep us busy on the rainy days.

Terrible weather but a lovely time had

We had a very comfortable stay at Sou West which was handy given the terrible weather Storm Henk inflicted on us! The apartment is well located with the local pub, shop and beaches all in walkable distance. Everything was clean and in good condition and views to the beach were a bonus. We would happily stay again and recommend for a stay in South Hams being close to Salcombe, Dartmouth, Kingsbridge etc. Thankyou Pauline for a lovely stay.

Best beach holidays we ever had

We had a great time at the apartment which is on top of the hill with a great view. Great for walks around, and good access to the roads going outwards. The apartment was perfect for us! The best thing about it was the contact with the host Pauline, very friendly and attentive.

Nice airy rooms which have been recently decorated but let down by small things not working properly, poor lighting in kitchen, and a shower that was only just adequate, in our opinion.

A very comfortable appartment with everything you need. Modern sea themed decor, comfy bed and lounge. Well equiped kitchen. Plua a sea view & lovely garden. Just to mention there are very narrow single track lanes to access pretty Thurlestone but you get used to them. Enjoyed great coastal walks!

This was our second stay, although 5 years apart and the flat had everything we needed to make it another perfect break. We were there for 5 nights in mid May 2023. Pauline was most helpful & sorted out all our needs, with speed & kindness. Would come back again and it was just what was needed, to escape real life for a bit & just have some down time. The village pub which is a 10 minute walk was fab & the food lovely - probably need to book a table in the summer. The weather was glorious & we loved the coastal walking - did two new ones but Bolt Head was stunning and probably the best we’d done. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay in the South Ham Mark and Mandy

When a place is that good you want to buy it from the owner

I'll give a brief background. I started as a mortgage broker back in June 2022 and started at the worst possible time with the economy, working 70 hour weeks and then days off, I needed a break. My Father used to work in Thurlestone and reminisced a lot about it in recent years so I agreed in December last year him and I go down for a few days so he could take a trip down memory lane and for myself to relax from work. From the moment of booking online the owner emailed me to introduce herself and gave me guidance to navigation the property and wished a happy trip. Now the property - when I say it was home from home I mean it, it was clinically clean yet very homely. There was a coffee machine and a bottle of wine on the dining table (nice touch) and after a few hours it felt like it was a second home - for me having travelled a lot of places across the world very few places can make you feel this way. I cannot thank the host enough. Going to Thurlestone, Devon in December wasn't probably the best time as it felt the village was deserted, the weather was cold and the local pub was dead however the highlight of the trip was the accommodation - how many holidays/ breaks can you say that about? Thank you to the host and will be making a few returns next year.

Holiday bliss

The property was exactely as described, but better in reality. We loved it from the minute we walked in the door. Lovely quiet area with plenty to do on the doorstep. We did some beautiful walks, saw beautiful beaches and met some lovely people. Burgh Island is a must and Salcome is very pretty and does the best pasties and try the cream tea at Salcome coffee company cafe. We would not hesitate to come back.

Lovely family break in a perfect location

The whole of our family had a thoroughly enjoyable stay in the apartment. The apartment felt spacious and the sitting room was fantastic:, bright and airy with luscious views across the ocean. The leaflets and maps supplied were enjoyed by the family - we loved looking through them.The kitchen was well equipped also, even with all the barbecue utensils. Location, location, location: the close proximity to so many beautiful beaches was great. Every day of our holiday was spent at one of the five nearby beaches. Bantham Bay was the perfect location for beginners to learn to surf. The snorkeling in the area was amazing too in the crystal clear water. We had some great meals: would thoroughly recommend the Village Inn especially due to how close it is. The Hope & Anchor located in Hope Cove has great fish and chips. Finally, pizza at the Rockbox(South Milton)was outstanding; the sunset was incredible glistening on the water. We would really recommend this apartment to everybody, there is so much to do from beautiful walks to morning surfs.

Nice apartment with seaside feel

The apartment is great and felt airy and bright, loved the seaside theme. Unfortunately our peace was spoilt by an ? Extractor fan going constantly for 72 hours and more from the school opposite. The views are great, lovely to see the sea every day. Lovely walks from the village in both directions on the coast and good pubs with good food nearby.

Peaceful and homely

We had a wonderful time in this lovely holiday home. It was clean, comfortable, peaceful and homely. I haven’t slept this well in months but we we’re so comfortable we’ve all come away so rested. Beautiful views from the apartment, lovely garden with an abundance of flowers, gorgeous coastal walks made for a perfect holiday to unwind and recharge. We’ve recently lost our dad and we really needed to rest and relax in beautiful surroundings and this place delivered everything we needed and more. Thankyou for the lovely bottle of wine, we enjoyed it with a home cooked meal. The area is just stunning and we did a lot of exploring including Salcombe, Dartmouth, Totnes, Burgh Island (The Pilchard Inn is a must) not to mention all the beautiful local beaches and incredible landscapes. Everything was wonderful and exactly what we needed. This holiday I can only describe as was food for the soul!

Great holiday flat in a beautiful area.

Very clean, comfortable and well appointed property. Lots of great walks in both directions along the South West coast path from the property with no need to get in the car. Pub with good food and village shop 10-15 minutes walk away. Salcombe and Kingsbridge a short drive away. Nearest beach (Yarmer) was a 20 minute walk. No noise from the flat above. Only downside was that the flat is on the outskirts of the village so we had to keep walking down (and uphill back) every time we went out on foot. Overall however a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Mrs P Madge

Host profile image
We have owned the apartment for over 20 years and enjoyed many a glorious family holiday in the area. In this time, we have also made a number of updates and improvements to the apartment to make it as comfortable as possible. Due to family commitments, we don’t use the apartment enough so would like to offer and share this wonderful experience with you.

Why they chose this property

We have lots of family ties to the area and the village. My husband’s family is originally from the area and he was brought up in the village of Thurlestone. My daughter also married in the village and we still have relatives in the area. We bought the apartment to allow our children to experience the amazing area and for our family holidays, of which we have had many, and continue to try visit as much as possible.

What makes this property unique

What sold the apartment to us was the view in the front living room, looking out to the historic Thurlestone Rock. The apartment itself has a warm homely feeling, complemented by a bright feeling of space & light. The outside area is perfect for relaxing and taking in the fresh sea air and being South/South West facing catches the sunshine all day long.
