Lovely sunday lunch. Live music downstairs but we were sat upstairs so couldn't hear it which was a shame. Staff all really nice and friendly.

October 2023

Omg what a gorgeous pub! Stunning roast dinner on the Sunday we were there. Staff greeted us with a friendly attitude and we weren’t rushed to take our table but offered a space for a drink by the stream. After lunch there was a fab duo playing on the terrace. Loved it and will be back

September 2023

Good food and beer but a little expensive. Potatoes and veg are extras.

July 2023

The best roast dinner we've had in a long time! Well worth a visit. Excellent service too!

September 2022

Brilliant restaurant and pub.

September 2022

Lovely pub in a nice location. Restaurant food was very nice, but this is not your normal “pub food” it’s high class, using local produce. The prices reflect this… it would be worth ringing up and asking when the next “high tide BBQ” is, as you don’t need to book for this and it looked very tasty !! Folks arrive on boats up the estuary and visit for a pint and a burger!

August 2022

Excellent food and service, with a great atmosphere. Only difficulty was finding somewhere to park the car

August 2022

We ate here twice during our stay in South Pool, on both occasions the food and service were excellent. The Millbrook is very dog friendly and does get busy so booking is essential.

June 2022

Very friendly village pub. The food was very good.

June 2022

This was closed for refurbishment but have used in the past and its well worth a visit

October 2021

Evening meal here was delicious .Excellent quality food and good service .

October 2021

Would give more stars but place was closed for most of the week we were there. However did manage a drink and a very tasty meal on last evening.

September 2021

Sadly we were unable to have a meal here as they were fully booked all week. I guess it must be good, but I’ll never know.

September 2021

Very disappointed had visited before and had a great experience, this time aftwr booking 4 months in advance we waited 1 hour for good and then the chicken was not cooked through. We also had another booking and they decided to close the pub and didn't even email us, inonly knew as I saw on their Facebook page. Very disappointing.

August 2021

A lovely local pub

June 2021

The Millbrook has a new bridge at the back to a grassy area with picnic tables, so great for kids. They do an outside BBQ at the front 5-9pm in the summer, also great for kids supper. A lovely old pub in an idyllic location!

September 2018

Outstanding Sunday roast EVEN IF the lamb and the beef look exactly the same, they ain't. Fabulous staff too!

The food here was really good. Steak and Ale pie is amazing!

September 2021

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Great garden with outside bar and very attentive restaurant staff, nothing was too much trouble. The quality and presentation of the food was exceptional. We felt happy to eat inside with tables well distanced and cleaned after previous customers, while staff and customers, when moving around the eating areas, were expected to wear masks. So much so we frequented the outside bar and the restaurant numerous times while on holiday in the village. A great place to eat after a tiring day on the beach.

August 2021

Lovely food, friendly staff, good service. Highly recommended. Book in high season though.

August 2021

Very friendly and welcoming, and carefully spaced inside. Food very tasty, especially the seafood salad. A shame not open for lunch.

April 2021

Highly recommended. We had the most delicious breakfast here whist on holiday and will definitely return next time.

July 2018

We booked a table here online for Boxing Day lunch but when we arrived they told us they don’t take bookings. Luckily they had a table and we enjoyed a really good pub meal.

June 2023

Interesting menu and specials, good ales and wine list, very friendly and helpful staff; our dog now considers Maddie to be one of her best mates. We ate here 4 or 5 times in our fortnight's holiday; says something in itself!!

October 2022

Had two lovely meals here. Food was great and service excellent.

August 2022

Excellent food, really nice atmosphere and surroundings, thank you for finding us a table as I thought I had made a booking, booked wrong pub.

July 2022

Very poor. Overpriced food (don't order the duck breast @£16 unless you're on a super low calorie diet). Beer too cold and expensive. I used to like the charm of the pub before it was renovated, now just lacks atmosphere.

May 2022

Had a drink there. Outside space at the back was lovely. We didn't eat there.

March 2022

Good and friendly pub. Fish and chips excellent.

September 2021

We have been back here many times when we have visited, beautiful gardens, now with covered heated area for those colder and wetter times. The only thing we would say is the lack of vegetarian options on the main menu.

September 2021

Great place to eat for a special meal out, food amazing

September 2021

Beautifully decorated pub, friendly staff and truly excellent food.

July 2021

Only 19 mins walk from cottage. Lovely refurbished pub but gets busy so book first.

October 2023

Visited for the first time this year and went back again for a 2nd lunch visit during our holiday. Will be going again on our next trip to Devon

Great service and a great menu with a mixture of standard pup grub and more unusual dishes. The food is always deliciousness , would highly recommend.

Lively pub restaurant serving excellent quality food. Good service and nice atmosphere. Drinks are very expensive hence 4* rating instead of 5*

August 2023

Visited several times, always excellent food.

August 2023

Best roast beef I've ever had! It almost melted in my mouth.

August 2023

Only had drinks here. A non alcoholic drink and a gin and tonic. Nothing special. Both for just under £17 ?? I don’t think so. We were robbed.

August 2023

It wasn’t as good as the last stay. One meal was cold and even after heating it up it wasn’t hot.

August 2023

dined here 5 times during our stay. if you like seafood look no further! lovely staff. reasonable prices comprehensive menu. as good as it gets!

July 2022

Lovely clean pub & restaurant with very friendly (dog loving) staff who made us welcome as soon as we arrived in the village. The food in the restaurant is excellent quality at a fair price….Thank you!

July 2022

One of the best restaurant meals we have had in a long time. Quality ingredients and I suspect prepared by an actual trained chef which is a rarity these days. Quite pricey but nevertheless good value given the quality. Staff were friendly, efficient and seemed pleased to have you dining with them.

July 2022

Whether you are staying in the village or passing through you must call into the Cricket Inn. They have it all! Good selection of drinks, exceptional food (& I mean exceptional), seaview like nowhere else & all in a modern setting which still retains the history of the village. Then we have the Cricket Inn team who are just A-MAZ-ING. After 30+ years we wouldn't keep returning if it was something special. Keep up the excellent work & hopefully, we'll see you all very soon.

July 2022

Great menu and great service. If you like seafood this is a great place to visit. Highly recommended and we will be back

June 2022

The pub itself is fine, good beer, lovely location and friendly staff, I felt the food to be over priced for the quality

May 2022

We had a delicious meal here.. lobster and sole beautifully cooked.. highly recommend but do book particularly in the height if summer

May 2022

We had a gorgeous fresh fish meal at this lovely restaurant, very nice staff and the food and service was first class. However I think it is a bit pricey, so unfortunately we could only go once during our stay, which was a shame.

May 2022

Superb food. Really tasty and well presented. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

April 2022

Excellent food in an fabulous environment. Popular so make sure you book, but very accommodating to move us as our dog wouldn’t settle where we where originally put. Had a very enjoyable evening.

April 2022

Amazing food, gorgeous surroundings . . . but you have to book ahead especially for Sunday lunch etc. Well worth the wait though!

April 2022

Great pub, Good food and beer, staff very friendly. Well worth a visit.

March 2022

Fabulous

March 2022

We went in here and ordered steak, quite expensive for what it is and one steak was quite chewy and fatty. So much so that most of it couldn't be eaten, we did mention it but we're fobbed off which I find quite short sighted as we won't return!

March 2022

had a lovely meal here

November 2021

Excellent pub, lovely atmosphere and so welcoming. Always our first night stop in the village for food! Fanatastic fish dishes.

Helpful staff, great outdoor seating and awesome menu. Best to book in advance.

July 2021

Great place to eat and drink. Staff very friendly and helpful.

June 2021

Fantastic food but the Irish waiter was rather fierce and nothing like the rest of the happy and helpful staff.

June 2021

Delicious food from a varied menu with daily specials. Love the Josper grill fish!. Great location. Highly recommended. Quick service too.

June 2021

Excellent food and friendly helpful service

Really friendly staff- a great team. Wonderful place!

April 2021

Excellent food/service/staff

November 2020

Fantastic pub, food amazing! We always eat here at least twice during our weeks in Beesands!

November 2020

Had a lovely lunch here well needed rest after a coastal walk, it was lovely but because of my fish and shellfish allergy I felt it was a bit limited choice on the menu as I’m not a very big red meat eater but it didn’t spoil it as the staff and place was lovely

October 2020

Booked for an evening meal, lovely food and pleasant staff who didn't mind us bringing the dog along either. Food was great, service prompt and reasonable pricing. Would definitely return.

October 2020

Fantastic food and service. Adam and Jason brilliant. Also great value. Highly recommend

October 2020

Excellent food and superb service. Highly recommended; be sure to book well in advance.

September 2020

August 2020

Really helpful, friendly staff. Fantastic quality food fresh from the local fishermen. Great location for a sundowner!

July 2020

Great food, Great service, nice friendly staff. Highly recommend

November 2019

Good good especially the seafood pancakes

September 2019

We visited the restaurant with our twin toddlers. The staff were really helpful with the kids and we felt comfortable to bring them back for a second visit as we were so well looked after. The specials were of really high quality and the food was superb! We have been here many times before and will definitely be returning in the future. Lovely pub, friendly staff and great location.

September 2019

Lovely pub, they are dog friendly. The food was excellent and a good selection of beers. Would advise to book in advance if you are eating with your pets in peak season gets busy - will be visiting again

August 2019

Friendly staff and fabulous food

August 2019

Very convenient of you are staying in Beesands, as we were , and it provides a pretty good selection of dishes for most tastes. The food is absolutely fine - typical pub fare - a bit formulaic - but perfectly acceptable. the service was quite good but they did bring our coffees before the desserts - which was odd. The main courses were quite good but we didn't rate the desserts - disappointing.

June 2019

Absolutely a wonderful find. The food is outstanding. Well known for seafood but their steaks are tasty, tender and succulent too. Very dog friendly too. Would highly recommend negotiating the lanes to Beesands to have a meal at the Cricket Inn. Prices are a bit on the high side compared to other places in the area but this is understandable due to the very high quality of the ingredients used.

June 2019

Excellent beer, brilliant staff and fabulous food. Well worth booking a table as it's very popular. Not cheap, but still good value for money .

May 2019

Excellent food, great with children and dogs welcome

April 2019

Lovely food, lovely staff. Will definitely return

April 2019

Lovely welcoming place, food is great

March 2019

We got a warm welcome from all at The Cricket Inn, there was a great selection of drinks and fabulous food available. Could we suggest one or two more vegetarian options on the main menu.

March 2019

Great food, grilled fish excellent. Friendly professional staff.

February 2019

This is an excellent pub attracting people from miles around. The food is fantastic, the staff are friendly, there are tables for drinkers and the ales are kept well. What more could you ask for? Well ok the food is a tad pricey....

October 2018

Gorgeous food, lovely staff, always busy which is a good testament!

October 2018

nice friendly pub - but pricey for what it is . Wasn't really very wowed by food . Felt menu rather ltd & sadly they dont offer a traditional Sunday lunch only regular menu However we tried it a couple of times and left feeling full and not unhappy with what we had

October 2018

Lovely pub, didn't manage to eat as we arrived inbetween service. Dog friendly pub. Niice walk along the front from here.

October 2018

Nice place we had fish n chips was good but not worth the price tag drinks cost to .shame as we would of spent more time there if was bit cheaper but need a bank loan for that lol .

September 2018

Amazing food as always, lovely staff, and fantastic drink selection.

August 2018

Lovely pub in beautiful location. A varied menu with plenty of fresh fish dishes , the fish pie was exceptionally good. Good service and friendly staff who made the effort to pass the time of day even though they were busy. The beer at £5.00 a pint was expensive. Nothing too much trouble. Would visit again.

June 2018

Excellent and varied menu- good value for money . The staff were really friendly and the place had a good atmosphere. It was so convenient as we were only a couple of doors away - so we didn't need to get in the car and brave those narrow , winding and unpredictable Devon lanes!

June 2018

We had a lovely meal at the Cricket Inn, it was up to its usual standards, and the service was excellent; John Dory, seafood carbonara and fish and chips, all superb. That also let us bring in our dog, which was great.

June 2018

We love this pub and always visit at least once when staying in Beesands. Food as good as usual. Maybe staff not as friendly as previous years - particularly the Californian Maitre D'?? Still a great place for a lovely meal!

May 2018

very dog friendly visited 4 times during our holiday food was excellent also visited church house inn stokenham which was taken over by the cricketers again dog friendly the menu was different to the cricketers agian food was excellent

May 2018

Delightful pub with very friendly staff. Food excellent especially if you like fresh fish.

May 2018

Lovely pub and great food.

January 2018

Fabulous! What a find!!

October 2017

Excellent pub and restaurant. Ate there three times including breakfast. Food was always excellent and service spot on. Would definitely recommend.

July 2017

Great food and service. Well worth a visit

July 2017

Lovely pub which always seems to be busy. A varied menu with plenty of fresh fish dishes and juicy steaks. Good service and friendly staff who made the effort to pass the time of day even though they were busy. Nothing too much trouble. Would visit again.

July 2017

Expensive drinks but food good

June 2017

Sunday lunch was very good reasonably priced for location but went back during week had lemon sole on there specials plus one other standard meal and two drinks came to 60 pounds extremely overpriced especially as after charging me 22 pound for the fish the veg was an extra 4 pound .We considered this to be overpriced for what we got .

May 2017

Friendly and efficient staff with good choice of food but somewhat limited for vegetarians. Dog friendly.

April 2017

Wonderful food and impeccable service. Hope you are in business for a good many years you deserve it

April 2017

My son and his girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed their SUP experience,the instructor was friendly and helpful,and delivered boards and equipment directly to the beach in front of apartment.

June 2023

Visited on a sunny morning in May so quite busy. We were greeted at the entrance, seated inside then left. No menu provided, I had to ask for it. A couple who arrived well after us had their order taken first. We waited for ages. Then discovered there is a half hour hour gap between breakfast orders ending and lunch orders beginning when only cakes are availble, not even a sandwich. Staff were rushed and inattentive, disappointing experience.

May 2023

My dacshund and I walked along the coastal path . Although Start Point was not open at the time, we were not disappointed, the coastal walk was lovely, as we got nearer to the lighthouse, we stood and watched in amazement at the tuna fish jumping high out of the water. It was spectacular to watch . I would thoroughly recommend.

December 2023

Excellent views, we went when it was closed unfortunately but a great walk for the dogs. You have to pay to park but I think it was only £4

June 2023

Sadly lighthouse was closed due to COVID, however it was still worth a visit for the views and the walk along the headlands. It was awesome, saw lots of seals playing around the rocks. Wear good footwear as a little uneven in places, lots places to sit and enjoy the view. Binoculars are a must. I loved it and I’m not a strong Walker

May 2021

If you can visit on a day when you can take a tour it's well worth it. The staff are knowledgable and make the tour really interesting for children and adults alike. It's a narrow & steep climb in places.

April 2021

Great walk along the coast path from Beesands - fantastic views

October 2020

The msot beatiful stratch of coastline I have walked along for a while. We did a circular walk which included Hallsands, and the lighthouse, and would throughly recommend visiting the lighthouse, if just for the views. Be aware thought, that there are limioted ameneities - only a portacabin loo in the carpark

September 2019

Stunning views from here. Great walk along from the car park, very accessible for all levels of fitness. Visitor centre was closed when we arrived for refurbishment at the end of the season but still worth the walk.

October 2018

Had a really interesting tour at the end of September, which was the highlight of our holiday. Out guide, Mary, was very friendly and informative. Would highly recommend this. Fantastic location and views and very interesting history. Thanks Mary.

October 2017

We really enjoyed our visit. My husband and son had a tour (£5 per adult and under 5's free) and thought it was brilliant. Children under 1.1m's tall can not go on the tour so my younger son and I enjoyed the coastal views which were fantastic.

June 2017

Fantastic walk with wonderful views, you'll find the best beach in the South Hams hear, bit of a walk but it is glorious.

December 2016

Excellent customer service. Really helpful advice as we had never used e-bikes before. Great ideas for routes. We will definitely use them again.

June 2023

A visit to Salcombe to hire one of these beautiful boats is a must. Scratch will talk you through everything you need to know and then you are free to explore the estuary in style. we had a lovely day and made some great memories.

May 2019

Gorgeous coastal walk from South Hallsands to Beesands. Not too strenuous for my mini dacshund. Well worth a visit with rocks / coves at the far end.

December 2023

Lovely relaxing location.

October 2023

Beautiful location with lovely coastal walks in both directions ! 2 very good eating places too !

October 2023

Ideal for walking your dog. Abit difficult to get on beach if you have mobility problems. Sadly not sandy, but dogs loved it

September 2023

Beesands is a lovely place, the beach was Great, definitely worth a visit.

September 2023

Stunning beach, fantastic sunset.

August 2023

Great place for an evening drink - beach not very suitable for children .

August 2023

We stayed for a week in a house opposite the beach in Beesands. The beach is a pebble beach and is very quiet. There is no lifeguard but there are locals there everyday with their boats so I am sure they would let you know if the conditions were unsafe. There is a fish and chip shop/restaurant and 1 pub restaurant - both serving lovely food and offer very friendly service. There is very little nearby so you do need a car to get around. Nearest supermarket was around 20-30 minute car ride away. The kids went in the sea almost every day and had the best time! They wore full wetsuits and water shoes which I thoroughly recommend as it is a pebble beach, and the kids got stung by a jelly fish when they paddled without wetsuits. When the tide was in, or coming in, the kids felt safer as they were in their depth. When the tide is out, there is a ledge which drops quite sharply. I am not a fan of sand so sitting on my camping chair on the pebble beach was bliss for me. We even spotted seals on most days! The locals with their boats didn't seem too friendly but we loved watching them take their boats out and bring them back in again. It was fascinating. I would have loved to ask them more about the beach, tides and coastal erosion but they didn't seem very approachable. However, I do appreciate that they must find tourists a little irritating. I would absolutely go back to Beesands for a holiday. It is my idea of blissful relaxation.

August 2023

Friendly, quiet location and shingle beach. Nice beach walk to Torcross at low tide. Pub/restaurant and Britannia restaurant and takeaway were very good. Very narrow roads to Beesands from turning off main road, but enjoyable holiday

June 2023

Just lovely. Excellent food at Britannia on the beach and they also have an excellent takeaway

May 2023

Great beach.

September 2022

Pebble beach. Sea crystal clear

August 2022

Beautiful location, stunning views!

August 2022

Pleasant place to visit

July 2022

Absolute delight to stay in this quiet little seaside village! Mostly holiday let properties nowadays but still some locals around to talk to about the history of the area. The village is extremely clean including the beach considering it is all dog friendly! Popular with local & travelling anglers mainly at weekends I also fished to some degree every day of our stay. We will be going back soon!

July 2022

Had a lovely walk. Beautiful setting.

June 2022

lovely location, enjoyed many morning walks along the beach, and caught 14 mackerel. The road access is not the best, drive slowly, you cannot do anything else, and hey who's in a rush on holiday

May 2022

Loved Beesands, we stayed in one of the cottages for a week and enjoyed the peace and quiet and strolling along the beach, very dog friendly to!

May 2022

loved it here

November 2021

Gorgeous stretch of beach - we loved finding pebbles to take home! The walks to Torcross and Hallsands and an absolute must for stunning views

October 2021

Lovely clean dog-friendly beach and an easy walk from Clover Cottage and over to Torcross too

September 2021

Lovely quiet and dog friendly beach with good facilities. Good place to walk from to nearby beaches.

July 2021

The actual usable beach is a fair walk from the village ( parking not allowed as the beach fronting the village no longer exists due to flood defences

June 2021

much less busy than most local beaches (because it is shingle) but great for kids above toddler age. lovely walks in both directions, eg to Torcross for chips or to Start Point for views. Easy parking and a good beach shack cafe and take away

June 2021

Nice village on the coast

May 2021

Lovely area and stay

May 2021

Accidentally burnt the garden table offered to pay as we had booked for 2021 for our honeymoon the owners accepted our offer but refused our stay for honeymoon said they were proud owners hey accidents happen we r nature adults n had to do alit of cleaning n change light bulbs in our arrival so thanks to the owners it completely messed up our honeymoon how selfish urn that's part of letting your cottage accidents happen n we did not have to offer to pay be warned don't damage anything

December 2020

14 Beesands is a great property. About 10 feet away from the beach/ sea wall. Pub 20 paces away. Lovely walks on the doorstep. Fabulous sunsets and seals swimming past. Who could ask for more. Well equipped cottage, very comfy beds cosy and warm

October 2020

The most wonderful little fishing village- narrow lanes on approach so drive carefully- but it's worth it. Lovely shingle beach and stunning views across Start Bay. Two great eateries- Britannia and The Cricket Inn are worth a visit. Beesands is just beautiful, I love it there.

September 2020

Amazing location right on the beach. We spent a week in Beesands and found the property to be perfect for our big group - plenty of space for everyone to relax and a very well appointed kitchen. Would highly recommend.

September 2020

Beautiful setting and lovely property decorated to a high standard, well equipped and perfect place for a getaway to peace and quiet. Short distance to the beach. Would definitely return. We had a super weekend at this property celebrating a family birthday

January 2020

Beautiful relaxing place to spend time.

November 2019

Lovely little beach, nice quiet location and free parking a bonus

August 2019

Worth the uphill/downhill walk along the coast path. Lovely spot.

August 2019

Easy to park, good food options. plenty of room for everyone.

August 2019

I love Beesands . The only sad thing is even more people have found out about it, 10 years since my last visit. Sadly the sea has removed the road handy for parking and is gradually eroding the cliff edges. Not as quiet as it used to be but the attractions of two nice eating places have probably increased the footfall.

June 2019

It’s a new look on the outside but the food very much of the same high quality at the Britannia in Beesands. The new ‘shack’ doesn’t really do it justice with a completely renovated contemporary dining room in keeping with the seaside location and beach hut vibe with excellent views of the bay. There seems to be loads more space too and the higher ceiling gives light to the treats being served from the kitchen. Dave and the team in the kitchen maintain their high standards of food preparation and making dishes that look and taste fantastic, the front of house team are equally as attentive making a great relaxed dining experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending breakfast, lunch or dinner at the Britannia so come back if you have been before and see the changes or give it a go if you never have been. ????????

June 2019

I've been coming to Beesands since I was 2 years old (61 now!). Not every year since adulthood but still can't stay away. Its an ideal location for those who want to get away from it all. Its close enough to Kingsbridge and within easy reach of Dartmouth , Salcombe and Brixham. The locals are very friendly and will always be up for a chat. Its almost tempting to keep this little coastal secret to myself!

October 2018

Bit scary driving down to the beach due to the narrow road but worth it when you got there. Had fish and chips and ate them on the tables that were provided while looking out to sea.

September 2018

Had a wonderful meal in the beach cafe .

July 2018

We've been coming to this general area for over 20 years now and have stayed in many of the surrounding villages . This was the first time we'd stayed in Beesands - but we had walked through it on our coastal walks on many, many occasions. We both loved the peaceful charm of the place - secluded , tranquil and away from it all . But unlike Hallsands (next village along) , it does have two places where you can eat ( The cricket Inn and the Britannia0)and they are both very good . The beach is great - shingle - but really uncrowded in June . ( We were lucky with the weather) and on a clear,sunny day - it is quite magical. ( What a shame the water is so freezing cold !!) This stretch of coastline is stunning - and even if you do no other walks - walk over to Hallsands and read about the old village that was washed away in January 1917 - or just drink in the stunning views . I love this part of Devon and it never fails to take my breath away when you stand on the coast path near the lighthouse and look back across Start Bay to Hallsands , Beesands , Torr Cross , and over towards Dartmouth. Wonderful.

June 2018

Beautiful stoney beach with views of Start Point Lighthouse. Tasty fish and chips available, popular pub and public toilets.

June 2018

Lovely place, good food and very dog friendly :-)

March 2018

Britannia Fish - Great fish - always fresh and lovely family run business. A must for anyone who likes eating good fish!

May 2017

Ideal for quiet and peaceful holiday with two good restaurants both of which are dog friendly.

April 2017

Great little beach, my furry companion had the best time here. She couldn't contain her excitement. Amazing for us both watching and listening to the sounds of the sea.

December 2023

Really nice walk from Beesands.

October 2023

Lovely walk from Beesands. Takes about half an hour.

June 2023

lovely beach, I walked through there twice on my way along the coast path, really peaceful, the lost fishermans village is also worth visiting just a short walk from the beach

May 2022

Great walk up to Hallsands, interesting piece of history.

April 2022

Lovely little place, great to take a picnic as no facilities but that's part of its charm. Wonderful views of Start Bay and a great base to walk to Start Point and beyond or to Beesands. Well worth a visit.

September 2020

Gorgeous beach, but be careful if you have a dog that likes to run as our Border Collie got very sore paws on the pebbles.

May 2017

Lovely walk along the coast from Horizons. Beautiful sandy beach

April 2024

Lannacombe is a lovely beach! The beach is gentle and slopes nicely into the sea. We swam in October and it was beautiful. If you haven’t been there are no facilities and only parking for about 8-9 cars so get there early in peak season. It’s on the SW Coast path and we have walked from East Prawle though takes a while. Fabulous beach. Keep it to yourself!

October 2023

Best beach in the area, spent a lovely sunny day here.

September 2023

A favourite beach of us, we spent another lovely afternoon there, superb view and great for rock pooling.

April 2022

Fantastic beach! Secluded and beautiful. Windy narrow lanes to reach it but worth it. We were able to get a car space in the small car park which was great. Our dog loved it and so did we!

October 2021

Best beach in the world! Dont tell anyone or else we will never get one of the 8 parking spaces!

September 2021

Unspoilt and away from the crowds. Perfect secret

August 2021

Beautiful unspoilt beach.

July 2021

We walked here from East Prawle, it was a delightful find and we explored the beach whilst en route along the coastal path. I imagine it would be extremely busy in high season but we were the only ones there so felt very lucky to have found it.

June 2021

Lovely but inaccessible down rough extremely narrow lane with very tiny parking & limited turning , best to walk from Start Point car park

October 2020

Very limited parking (but we got lucky!). Wide, spacious but covered in dense seaweed - what's happened? It never used to be so weedy.

August 2019

Excellent secluded beach once you find it. Signs would be helpful but this would be detrimental as visitors would "flood" the small car park. Well worth visiting and walking along the stunning cliff walks

September 2018

A lovely beach where we enjoy sitting and eating our sandwiches after walking from Start Point.

May 2018

Our dog loved this beach and the kiosk cafe was a great addition, especially as it was very cold and windy. Shame about the parking costs.

April 2024

Fab stretch of beach - quite a trek from one end to another, you’ll need a drink from the coffee van at Pilchard Cove or cafes in Torcross! Over the hill from Torcross to bee sands has an amazing view

August 2023

A stunning coastline well worth a visit. If you drive along the coast road from Dartmouth the views are incredible. Slapton Sands is a shingle beach and dog friendly. If the first car park is busy continue further on and the next one is usually quieter, payment required.

July 2023

Visited here out of respect for those who practiced the D-Day landings on this beach. If venturing doen to the sea from the car park please note it was hard getting back up as you sink into the stones, so not so good for those with any mobility issues.

July 2023

Beautiful pebbly beach,water was so clear!

June 2023

Lovely beach with clear blue sea, very small shingle so no good if u have children who want to build a sand castle, also water gets deep very quickly

June 2023

Beautiful quiet unspoilt beach

April 2023

Really interesting history. Great for the children to link back to a Michael Morpurgo story too.

April 2022

loved it

November 2021

Long pebbly beach. Parking right on the front.

September 2021

We visited on a very overcast day with a keen wind blowing, so we did not see the sands at their best. We walked into Slapton and had tea in the church and found a pleasant footpath back to the beach car park, which ran past the nature reserve at Slapton Ley.

September 2021

A beautiful, gentle walk along the side of the nature reserve, if you make it to the turn off to go into Slapton, there is a lovely pub up there, the Queens Arms great gardens, food and friendly staff.

September 2021

Absolutely stunning stretch of beach (non-sandy which we prefer) with miles of space. Beautiful for early morning dog walks with a coffee at the end from the 'cafe on the beach' at Strete Gate picnic area.

May 2021

Walked along the beach and round the Nature reserve whilst staying in Slapton village. Lovely long shingle beach - our dog loved it. Lovely circular walk through the medieval village and back through the Nature reserve and along the beach.

November 2020

Ample parking, nice walk along the beach.

October 2020

Beautiful beach with a stunning sunrise. The sound of the sea on the pebbles is very relaxing. Really clean . No rubbish . Beautiful walks nearby. Nice cafe and restaurants. Dog friendly too.

September 2020

We have had lovely walks along Clapton and the views are stunning

February 2020

If you love the sound of the waves on pebbles this has to be one of the best beaches in the world !

April 2019

A totally unspoilt stretch of beach with wild flowers and wonderfully coloured rocks. We were lucky to be staying on a stones throw away and spent a few happy hours there with our dog watching the locals beach fishing in the evenings - bliss!

August 2018

Lovely walking -

June 2018

Lovely walk for wild flowers, bird watching sea views

May 2018

Clean beach.No plastic.

May 2018

This is certainly a lovely beach and so little rubbish.

April 2018

Really interesting area and good walks along the coast and by the Ley. Generous provision of toilets and parking and a number of places to eat. Would particularly recommend The Start Bay Inn, The Boathouse and Seabreeze Cafe at Torcross. Also very handy that there is a bus should you want to walk one way and get a bus back. Very beautiful and peaceful.

October 2017

Beautiful beach right across from our Cottage

September 2017

Wonderful nature reserve with well signposted walks.

September 2017

Beautiful stretch of shingle beach - dogs allowed all year. Not many facilities - we went to the Strete end of the beach as there is a great little coffee hut there - great coffee and friendly staff.

September 2017

Clapton Sands is beautiful. The rocks are the most beautiful colours, wild flowers abound on the beach, the views in either direction are stunning and it is rarely over crowded.One of the most wonderful areas in the U.K.

May 2017

Great place for a walk along the beach and had some great events for children at Easter. Great fish and chips in the pub at the end on Torcross

April 2017

Lovely little beach with with views across the bay to Salcombe

October 2023

Stunning! Great car park, perfect for dogs, at low tide you can walk along the beach to east portlemouth and Venus cafe.

September 2023

Lovely quiet beach, clean beach & sea

July 2023

Lovely place to spend some time.

July 2023

Lovely clean beach with great views

May 2023

Lovely clean beach, easily accessible from our holiday cottage.

July 2022

Bit of a walk but well worth it - spacious beach, fabulous views and shallow waters.

June 2022

Brilliant beach 3 miles from the cottage

June 2022

Gorgeous little Bay close to where we were staying our dog. Loved fetching his ball in and out the water. Very pretty spot.

April 2022

Lovely beach and you can walk to Gara rock from here and along beach to the ferry crossing to salcombe

March 2022

Great beach. Bumpy access road as sand has blown across it. Slightly marred by 1-2 selfish dog owners who have left their calling cards

November 2021

We were lucky enough to spend 3 days on this beautiful beach. Fabulous place ??

September 2021

Fantastic beach one of the best in the area. Have to get to car park (National Trust) very early if you don't want to carry all your stuff to the beach.

September 2021

We attempted to drive to Mill Bay car park- not a good idea in August! No parking spaces, no turning points. We tried another day, parking at Gara Rock and asking down the bridle path. We have a disabled granddaughter, the walk down was manageable but the return walk was much more difficult. Beautiful beach and worth the walk.

September 2021

Lovely, clean, sandy beach in wonderful location with beautiful views and easy access from Salcombe via the East Portlemouth ferry.

August 2021

Lovely beach, clear water

July 2021

Lovely beach for children to play on.

June 2021

Favourite beach going back to my childhood. The road to it was closed due to a land slip in January. Talked to the workmen who said it was due to reopen November 2020.

October 2020

Lovely beach but this year overrun with people arriving by motor boat- so it felt a little worrying for kids to swim out among them,(and frankly it spoilt the view) and engine noise/fumes at the end of the day as everyone left!

September 2020

Wonderful

September 2019

I endorse all of the other favourable comments and emphasise the urgent need to make the lavatories hygienic. In fact all of the public conveniences are anything but convenient.

September 2019

Lovely beach, handy to have little food caravan selling crepes, drinks and ice cream, good quality too. The toilets were disgusting though and should have been cleaned more regularly, also waste bins overflowing.

August 2019

Great place for a day on the beach. Safe and dog friendly

August 2019

Lovely large sandy beach, perfect for young children who want to play in the strem and build dams, or play in the sea without large waves!

July 2019

Great beach

October 2018

A fabulous beach. Especially great fun at low tide for a water loving Labrador. We enjoyed our visits here. We also loved the passenger ferry from here to Salcombe. Beautiful beach.

October 2018

Beautiful beach lovely and clean. Small car park free to N.T. members. Highly recommended. Drawback no immediate café available. Venus café nearest but a trek if not mobile.

September 2018

Lovely beach well worth a visit. Dog friendly as well. Well worth the £7-50 national trust car parking fee.

July 2018

amazing beach, dog friendly, only downside is the toilets near the National Trust hut are very poor

July 2018
