About this property
Wonderful Courtyard Appt - on SW Coast path 2 min walk to South Sands Beach
**Newly released dates available over Easter/May/Summer breaks**
Our spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom ground floor courtyard apartment is in the lovely Bolt Head development which sits above the beautiful South Sands beach, wonderfully in reach of Salcombe town centre whilst being away from the hustle and bustle!
It's a perfect base for anyone wishing to explore South Devon, situated on the SW Coast Path it offers the most amazing walks directly from the property, along the coast towards Hope Cove and Thurleston in one directon and in the other to Salcombe town centre and inland towards Kingsbridge or over the East Portlemouth Ferry toward East Prawle.
It's also perfect for those who enjoy beach breaks, a short walk down to the most amazing South Sands beach where you can spend the day playing in the sand and sea, watching the comings and goings of the South Sands Ferry (Easter to October school breaks) and taking in the lovely atmosphere of the fantastic Bo's beach cafe, South Sands Hotel or new Harbour Beach Hotel. Walk just up over the hill to North Sands beach (it's a big hill!) and you'll find the famous Winking Prawn Cafe (as recently featured in the film 'The Roses'). For swimmers we're perfectly located for the daily dip, and if you've any watersports enthusiasts it's great to paddleboard or kayak into town*.
For those able to and who enjoy walking you can walk into Salcombe town centre along the coastal road with super views along the way, or you can hop on the South Sands Ferry which takes you from the beach directly to the centre of town.
If you've an early riser amongst you they can take their cup of tea and enjoy the sunrise from the developments communal bench with what we feel is the best view of Salcombe, or end the day there with a glass of wine watching as the beach quiets down.
As the beach quietens down in the evening it's a perfect time to go down to enjoy a pizza on the beach from Bo's, or dinner with a an amazing view at South Sands Hotel or a super cocktail in the luxury atmosphere of the Harbour Beach Club hotel, something to suit everyone's favourite plans.
For anyone with an interest in National Trust properties and gardens we're just a 10 minute stroll up to the fabulous Overbecks property.
We have allocated parking for 1 car and additional visitor parking also available in the development (electric car charging point available on site, restricted to property guests)
ABOUT OUR APARTMENT The apartment has a spacious open plan kitchen/diner/lounge area with a large comfy sofa, 4K TV, DVD player, Bluetooth Speaker, broadband / Wifi.

Had a nice time there but was disappointed to find no freezer. Anything else was great and can’t fault the owner if we had a problem with something in the property

Thank you for your lovely review, we're so pleased you enjoyed your stay and all the area has to offer, we hope you get to stay again soon, Nicky
Brilliant property 3 mins walk from the beach. Really well facilitated apartment, beautifully stylish and spotlessly clean. Nicky was amazing to deal with and really helpful. Can’t recommend highly enough. One tip though - don’t be like us and make sure that you download the excellent detailed introductory email in advance as there is patchy mobile phone signal in the area. Once you have it, it has every detail you need. We’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely perfect place to stay while enjoying Salcombe. Very seasoned traveler and impressed with the professionalism, house and location provided. Very convenient pretty walk to downtown and the Yacht Club.
We have visited Salcombe several times and we would have no hesitation in returning to this apartmentThe location is excellent and an easy drive into Salcombe and other areas of interest
Dan - Amazing apartment in a stunning location! The living area was spacious and the bedrooms (both en suite) were very comfortable. Perfect base for exploring Salcombe, with the beach at south sands, Harbour beach club / South Sands hotel and sea tractor over to Salcombe all a 2 min walk away. Can’t wait to come back!Amy - Lovely spacious apartment. Clean and comfortable beds. Great location for coastal walks and south sands beach. Friendly, informative and communicative hosts. I had a lovey stay and hope to stay here again. Molly (7) - The place was amazing, beds were very comfy and the sea tractor was very fun! The most fun thing I did in Salcombe was spending time with my family and the Bolt head to east soar walk with the cakes at east soar outdoor experience x

Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a lovely review, we're so pleased you all enjoyed the apartment and all the area had to offer, indeed our favourite part of the holiday often involves cake!
The property was spacious and in an ideal location. The hosts sent check in information in good time and advised one of the showers was broken a day or so ahead but otherwise we didn’t get any communication asking if we were ok or if we had enjoyed the stay which seemed rather impersonal.A few details kept this from being 5 star: the cleaners had not refilled hand soap dispensers, had left an open carton of milk in the fridge, and had clearly not wiped down patio tables for weeks. Worst was the damp smell which the air freshener did not hide and its chemical smell was so strong we had to switch off. While I was grateful we had been left a packet of biscuits and fresh pint of milk there wasn’t even one tea bag!! Hosts knew we had had a transatlantic flight plus a long car journey - surely it’s not an expense to leave guests a tea bag?! (We left some for the next guests).There were also no beach towels yet this is a beach location. Listing says towels are provided and not to take them to the beach .. again this felt rather uncaring and thoughtless. The listing could be improved by stating what is NOT provided so guests can better plan as it’s a long drive to the shops .

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, we're pleased you enjoyed it and thank you for raising the points you have so we can address these.
We are certainly sorry regarding the open milk left in the fridge and lack of soap in hand dispensers or tea bags in the caddy, this is very unusual so we can only apologise this happened for your stay and will pick up on this with the changeover team, similarly that the patio tables were not clean, certainly something to address so thank you for highlighting this. We're also sorry you felt there was a damp smell, being a seaside property we regularly check damp levels and can clarify there is no damp issue so we'll look into this.
I'm sorry you felt the listing isn't clear in what's provided, we do remind guests to bring beach towels in the further information email we send the month before your stay so apologies you didn't see this, it isn't usual for UK self catered properties to provide beach towels so we'll check to ensure this is clear in our details.
Thank you once again, Nicky
We really enjoyed staying in the property. It was spacious and comfortable with a lot of homely touches. Communication with the hosts was easy and they were very responsive.
Our stay at the apartment was wonderful, beds very comfortable, kitchen very well equipped, showers very roomy and water hot any time of the day...when we stayed it was not very good weather and there was a slight damp smell in the cupboard under the oven, but it didn't hamper our stay as we ate out mostly and only cooked twice so the cupboard was not opened very much....I would say it's a slightly longer walk than 5 mins to the beach and much longer on the way back because it's up a very steep hill so if you are slightly older take it steady. The apartment is very clean and has everything you could need and we had a lovely break there seeing a lot of places in that area. We ate in the hungry prawn which was very good. The host was very easy to get hold of to ask any questions and very helpful. So we had a lovely stay but it all went to quickly, hopefully will be back again soon.....
This was our second stay at this property, Can't fault it, Well equipped. peaceful, comfortable and great location for exploring the area,We will definitely book again 5 stars all the way

Thank you so much for taking. the time to review your stay, we're so pleased you enjoyed your break!
We love to escape here and have amazing family holidays playing on the beach and exploring the South Coast, we hope you will too!
Why they chose this property
To be both in walking distance to the buzzing Salcombe centre yet hidden away in a peaceful area just 2 minutes down to one of most beautiful beaches on the south coast is too hard to resist!
What makes this property unique
Salcombe is a year round holiday destination, offering amazing walking, watersports and beach breaks. To find a property in Salcombe just minutes walk from the beach, with spacious living areas and parking is exceptional, we are so pleased to have found the Bolt Head Development.
