Blackpool Sands holiday cottages

Blackpool Sands cottages and holiday homes

Blackpool Sands sets a high bar for cottage holidays in South Devon. A sheltered bay backed by evergreens and pines, this dreamy Start Bay destination has more than a hint of the Med about it, while the unspoilt countryside, historic towns and chocolate-box villages close by add an essentially English backdrop to every self-catering break. Book a Blackpool Sands holiday cottage and on the doorstep, there’s a family-friendly crescent of fine golden shingle lapped by crystal-clear waters. The sea here is perfect for swimming and water sports, and paddleboards, kayaks, wetsuits and expert tuition are all available. Effortless family fun is guaranteed – along with parking, refreshments, showers, toilets, disabled facilities and daily beach cleaning, in summer you’ll find RNLI lifeguards on duty, a sandpit created specially so children can play safely, and even a sauna on the shingle.

Close by, Blackpool Gardens delivers a great value family day out. Giving spectacular glimpses of Start Bay, this subtropical garden is open from April to September and offers free entry for children. Soak up more iconic scenery by joining the South West Coast Path at Blackpool Sands – walk westwards to the pretty village of Strete then on to dog-friendly Slapton Sands and the nearby National Nature Reserve, or head east via Stoke Fleming to the vibrant maritime town of Dartmouth. For a true taste of South Devon life, Blackpool Sands takes some beating; select your favourite from our fine collection of Blackpool Sands holiday cottages and start planning your next break.
