Location & Things to Do Near 10 Old Rectory Gardens

10 Old Rectory Gardens sits in Thurlestone, one of the South Hams' most attractive coastal villages. Staying here puts beaches, walking, golf and village facilities close at hand while Kingsbridge and Salcombe are both within easy reach for larger shops, restaurants and days around the estuary.

South Milton Sands is one of the area's highlights. This long sweep of golden sand has clear water, rock pools and views towards the natural arch of Thurlestone Rock. Swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking and windsurfing are popular, while the beach café makes it easy to stay for lunch or an evening drink overlooking the bay.

The South West Coast Path runs directly through South Milton Sands and connects Thurlestone with some superb stretches of coastline. Walk east towards Hope Cove for sandy beaches, cafés and traditional pubs, or head west towards Bantham for broader views across Bigbury Bay and towards Burgh Island.

Bantham is especially popular with surfers, with its wide sandy beach facing directly into the Atlantic. The River Avon alongside the beach adds a contrasting estuary landscape and is popular for paddleboarding and kayaking when conditions are suitable.

Thurlestone Golf Club is another major attraction. The course occupies a spectacular position beside the coast and combines sea views with links-style and clifftop golf.

Hope Cove provides an excellent alternative beach day, with two sheltered bays and places to eat around the former fishing village. Kingsbridge is useful for supermarkets, independent shops and cafés, while Salcombe offers sailing, boat trips, waterfront dining and shopping around its busy harbour.

For guests at 10 Old Rectory Gardens, the real strength of the location is how easily beach days, coastal walks, golf and village life can all become part of the same holiday.
