Start Way provides the perfect holiday accommodation situated in the beautiful seaside village of Torcross. Located on the beach between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth, this former coastguard’s cottage has been beautifully restored to offer a contemporary open-plan living space that makes the most of its delightful location.

Start Way is opposite the Ley, a large freshwater lake and nature reserve that is known for its wildlife and bird watching. The beach at Torcross is a stone’s throw away, this long expanse of beach offers the perfect place to relax, swim or paddleboard. It’s a dog-friendly beach too! There is a café offering a great cup of tea, cake and sweets for the children and the famous Start Bay Inn, serving up their fabulous fish & chips every day of the week! Stokeley farm shop is a short walk away and has a wide selection of foods including a butchers, local freshly made bread, fruit & veg plus much more. Their café serves a cracking breakfast and in the evening The Tap House serves pizza with a fully licensed bar with regular music nights. The cottage is situated on the South West Coast Path that takes you in both directions, towards Slapton Beach or to Start Point Light House. The views are truly breathtaking and there are several village pubs along the route. Torcross is ideally placed between the naval town of Dartmouth and the market town of Kingsbridge. There are so many beautiful places to visit, just ask us for the local’s top tips! The Slapton line from Torcross to Slapton junction fell into the sea as a consequence of storm Chandra in early February 2026. As I currently write this, our MP is appealing for funds to build a new solution for our local area. I will update this information as and when new information becomes available.
