The Cove - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

As beach locations go, this is a little gem. The Cove is an apartment tucked away along the first corner of Sandhills Road which means an easy 3 minute walk to North Sands beach in Salcombe.

North Sands is a fantastic beach for little ones with its shallow waters and stream gently flowing through the middle making it perfect for dam and sandcastle building. And if you're keen on paddle boarding, just imagine a sunset paddle or early morning estuary cruise. The beach is also home to the Salcombe institution that is the Winking Prawn - a cafe/restaurant serving everything from fresh seafood to cold Chablis (and of course ice-cream!)

From your private car parking space, walk down 3 steps and along to the front door. The apartment is all on one level, with a spacious shower room on your right as you enter.

The master bedroom is beautifully appointed, with lovely leafy views from the window, and a useful basin and mirror. The twin bedroom is bright a breezy, and a great bedroom for adult guests or children alike.

The neat kitchen leads through to the open plan living and dining area. The Susie Watson sofa and armchairs are wonderfully comfortable for relaxing in at the end of a busy beach day. Glass doors open out onto the sunny terrace with glorious views up the valley and out to sea over North Sands.

No smoking allowed inside the apartment.
