5* large, dog-friendly holiday home with exceptional coast and countryside views

Sloopside is a spacious and contemporary holiday home providing high-quality, comfortable accommodation. Tucked away in a quiet corner of Bantham village on the mouth of the Avon Estuary, the house is within easy walking distance of unspoilt Bantham Beach, popular with surfers, wild swimmers and other water sports enthusiasts. The historic 17th century Sloop Inn is a stone's throw from the front door.

The house has a reverse-level arrangement with living spaces on the first floor, making the most of the panoramic views of Bigbury Bay and iconic Burgh Island. It is a beautiful place to spend time with family and friends.

"This is a fantastic holiday residence. Facilities are first class, and we had a wonderful family holiday."
