Overview of Agincourt

Agincourt is a stylish four-bedroom holiday home sleeping eight directly opposite the sea in Beesands, a small fishing village overlooking Start Bay near to Slapton. Its position is a major part of the appeal, with the beach, coast path, village pub and seafood café all within moments of the front door. Discover more large cottages near Slapton here.

The house makes excellent use of its coastal setting. A spacious open-plan lounge and dining room looks towards the sea, with a log burner creating a cosy focal point for autumn and winter stays. There is also a separate snug, giving families and groups somewhere quieter to watch television or relax away from the main room.

Four bedrooms are spread across the first and second floors. Two have private shower rooms, while the remaining bedrooms use the family bathroom. The principal king bedroom and large attic bedroom both enjoy sea views, while another bedroom can be arranged either as twins or a super king.

At the rear of the house, a large terrace provides plenty of room for outdoor dining, with steps leading to a second raised terrace. It is a useful contrast to the seafront at the front of the property, giving guests a more sheltered outdoor space for long lunches and evening meals.

Beesands itself is an excellent base for an active South Devon holiday. The South West Coast Path passes through the village, Hallsands and Start Point are within walking distance and Torcross and Slapton Ley are only a short drive away. For groups looking for a large coastal holiday home where the sea genuinely feels part of the stay, Agincourt has an outstanding position.

Agincourt at a Glance

Who is Agincourt Best For?

Agincourt works particularly well for two families sharing because the four bedrooms combine three double sleeping arrangements with a flexible twin room.

The two en-suite bedrooms give two parts of the group their own shower facilities, while the separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. This distribution is particularly useful when all eight guests are getting ready at the same time.

Families with teenagers should appreciate the separate snug, while the main lounge diner remains large enough for everyone to spend time together.

Agincourt is also a strong choice for adult friends. The twin bedroom can be converted into a super king when requested in advance, allowing the sleeping arrangement to be adapted for couples or guests wanting separate beds.

Location & Things to Do Near Agincourt

Beesands is a particularly strong location for groups who want the South Devon coast to shape their holiday. Agincourt sits directly on the seafront overlooking Start Bay, so beach walks, fishing and time beside the water can begin as soon as guests leave the house. The village also has places to eat within a short stroll, making it easy to enjoy an evening out without driving.

The South West Coast Path runs directly through Beesands and provides some excellent walks in both directions. Heading south leads towards Hallsands, the famous fishing village largely destroyed by the sea in the early twentieth century. A circular Beesands and Hallsands walk covers around 3.7 miles, while stronger walkers can continue towards Start Point.

Start Point is one of the most dramatic headlands on the South Devon coast. Its lighthouse stands above a rugged stretch of coastline with views across Start Bay, and seals can sometimes be spotted around the rocks. Great Mattiscombe Sand adds a secluded beach to a day exploring the headland.

North of Beesands, Torcross sits at the southern end of Slapton Sands. The long shingle shoreline separates Start Bay from Slapton Ley, the largest natural freshwater lake in south-west England and an important nature reserve for birds and other wildlife. The area also has a fascinating wartime history connected with Exercise Tiger and the preparations for D-Day.

For a change from the immediate coast, Kingsbridge provides independent shops, cafés and restaurants around the head of the Salcombe estuary. Dartmouth combines a historic waterfront with galleries, restaurants, boat trips and Dartmouth Castle.

With beaches, dramatic coastal walking, nature reserves, waterside dining and two attractive South Devon towns within touring distance, Agincourt is particularly well positioned for a varied group holiday.
