Step outside and relax on the outdoor furniture, sipping on your morning coffee as you enjoy the rolling countryside views. Your private patio garden planted with lavender, olive trees and coastal plants, features a table and chairs and sun loungers. You can also take advantage of the communal clifftop garden to the front of the property where a dining area with benches allows you to enjoy breath taking views across the whole bay and maybe even spot seals and dolphins! Relax in the day by the pool or take advantage of the all-weather tennis court for some friendly competition. Wander down to the viewing platform which poignantly illustrates how the original village of Hallsands was reduced to rubble by the waves on a stormy night in 1917. From the front of the property, you can head in either direction along the breath-taking South West Coast Path. Less than 5 minutes’ walk takes you to the fine shingle beach at Hallsands or venture a little further to the larger seaside village of Beesands (20 minutes’ walk or a short drive) with its popular seafood café (fabulous fish and chips!) and foodie pub, The Cricket Inn, Pub of the Year in the South West Tourism Awards 2019! Further along the coast you will find two of the most popular beaches in South Devon: Slapton Sands, famous as the site for the rehearsal of the D-Day Landings and Blackpool Sands, a privately owned and maintained Blue Flag Award-winning beach backed by evergreens and scented pines. Further afield explore the quaint streets of Salcombe, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge for boutique shops, wonderful restaurants and spectacular beaches, all just a short drive away. 2 Garden Apartment is a lovely base for those looking to be placed on a dramatic stretch of the South Hams coast with wonderful facilities and easy access to South Devon’s most popular destinations
Hallsands is a quaint fishing village resting between Beesands and Start Point along the South Coast of Devon. The village stands as testament to the power of the sea and the danger of over exploiting natural resources. The sheltered South Hams Peninsula is in 'deepest Devon', an amazing landscape of flowering hedgerows and ancient sunken lanes, carved into by the richly wooded Avon and Dart Valleys. The village boasts a shingle beach, also known as Greenstraight, which is regarded as one of the quieter beaches within Start Bay, offering glorious views and excellent walks.

The private patio was much appreciated, as was the Sonos sound bar which we used for music as much as the tv. A lovely apartment in a peaceful location
Karen
( best seafood sharing platter and crab sandwiches ever!) . We were very lucky with the weather during the day, and used the pool too, but the heating coming on in the evenings just made it cozy!
Sandra Jane
The pool was a wonderful asset to this comfortable place. The information from the owners was spot on and helped make the stay easy and comfortable.
