Pet-friendly and welcoming, it’s an ideal base for those looking to explore the stunning Start Bay coastline with their four-legged friends.
Beesands itself is a hidden gem along the South Hams coast, known for its mile-long shingle beach that sits just steps from Cliff House. The beach is dog-friendly year-round and perfect for paddleboarding, swimming, or simply enjoying the fresh sea air. Backed by the peaceful Widdicombe Ley, a freshwater lake and bird sanctuary, the area is a haven for wildlife lovers and keen birdwatchers. An accessible hide nearby allows you to watch tufted ducks, herons, and other species in a tranquil setting.
The house sits on the South West Coast Path, opening up a network of scenic walking routes. A popular local walk is the circular route to Hallsands, where you can visit the haunting ruins of the old village and enjoy breathtaking sea views. For more adventurous walkers, the path to Start Point Lighthouse is a must, with dramatic clifftop views and the chance to spot seals along the shoreline. Just a short drive away is Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve, the largest freshwater lake in southwest England, offering more opportunities for peaceful strolls and wildlife spotting.
After a day of exploration, enjoy a meal at one of Beesands’ excellent eateries.
With its unbeatable location, homely comforts, and rich variety of local attractions, Cliff House is a superb choice for a memorable coastal holiday in South Devon. Beach 1 mile.

Fantastic location, gorgeous, comfortable and well equipped house (altho' lacking a hair dryer!). Nearby restaurants both excellent. We had a lovely peaceful stay. It would have been nice to have some form of shelter in the very exposed garden though (parasol, canopy, anything similar really) as we visited in the heatwave with a dog which severely restricted what we could do. Just a small point for consideration. 😊

Cliff house was fantastic beautifully clean and in top order, our disappointment came in the booking proces cottages were slow at replying to emails this took us over the 24 hr cancellation period and they would Not let us cancel even after they couldnt confirm if the garden was dog secure which it isnt. Beware if booking with a dog you need to be outside with them at all times.
