Choose from 14 places to stay in Slapton
Slapton is best known for its long curve of shingle beach, Slapton Sands, with the freshwater Slapton Ley nature reserve just behind. Staying in a family holiday cottage in or near Slapton gives you an unusual combination: open sea on one side of the road, reedbeds, birds and quiet paths on the other. It is more about walks, swims and history including Second World War stories connected to the beach than about traditional seaside amusements.
Families can spend mornings throwing stones, paddling and walking sections of the coast, then cross to the Ley for nature trails, bird hides and calmer, greener surroundings. On other days you are well placed to drive to sandy beaches like Blackpool Sands or further into the South Hams for harbour towns and coves. A holiday home around Slapton offers a peaceful base to return to after those explorations, with plenty of space for wellies, binoculars and beach gear.
