What the Owners have to say:

We are Niccy and David from West London. We have been holidaying with our family in beautiful Bantham for almost fifty years. Bantham is a very special, unspoilt place, and we love spending time there throughout the year. Whenever we can’t be there, we are delighted to share our holiday home with others, hoping that everyone who stays at Sloopside will regard it as a home from home and enjoy its spectacular seaside location as much as we do. Sloopside is walking distance from Bantham Beach and a stone’s throw from the Sloop Inn.
