The Spinney

The Spinney: Inspiring and Spacious Devon Coastal Retreat with Breathtaking Sea Views A short walk from Broadsands beach, overlooking the sea and rolling Devon hills, near Paignton on the English Riviera. Inspiring and spacious, The Spinney is a year-round gem. With breathtaking views over the sea and rolling Devon hills, guests will find spaces both inside and out to unwind or gather for food and drinks. The property offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an enviably large private terrace where the vista just keeps getting better — with the beach just a short walk away. In cooler months, guests can gather on plush sofas around the fireplace. PROPERTY DETAILS - 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms - Ground floor: one double bedroom with sliding-door access to the decked terrace, plus a snug with a king-size sofa bed (these two share a contemporary ensuite shower room) - Upstairs: a super-king master bedroom with ensuite shower room and oval bath; a twin room (two single beds, not zip and link); and a double bedroom with a large ensuite shower - An elegant, tiled monochrome family bathroom with a freestanding bath - Large private decked terrace and garden with hammock and dining table - Hot tub (new for Summer 2025), accommodates up to 8 guests - Private gym room beneath the terrace with a view, treadmill, bike machine, and weights - Open-plan modern kitchen and dining area - Sitting room with red velvet sofas and a fireplace - Reading nook and chess set tucked by the French doors THE SPACE A short walk up from the sandy beach, The Spinney is designed with every guest in mind — toddlers, teens, and four-legged family members alike. Every window offers its own spectacular view, and the interior makes the most of every nook and cranny. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped, and the dining area is ideal for catching up on the day or making cocktails with friends. Cosy up by the fire in cooler months, or throw open the doors to the terrace when it’s warm. Outside, guests can laze in the hammock, feast at the table, soak in the hot tub, or relax with a glass of fizz while taking in the view.

NEIGHBOURHOOD Broadsands beach is a short stroll away — a sand-and-stone beach with rock pools at low tide, parkland for football or cricket, a level promenade, and colourful beach huts for hire. Nearby dining options include the Waterside Inn, K’ohana, The Venus Cafe, Squires (fish and chips), and the Rowcroft Hospice Shop & Tea Room. Stoke Gabriel is worth exploring, with The Shack popular for breakfast. Sandridge Barton (Sharpham Wine’s vineyard) is a 10-minute drive with a well-regarded restaurant. Young’s Park at Goodrington Beach offers mini golf, a playground, inflatable slides, swan pedalos, and the Cantina beachside restaurant. Paignton town centre and seafront are close by, with sub-tropical palm trees giving a continental holiday feel year-round. GETTING AROUND A bus stop is conveniently located just outside The Spinney, offering a short ride to Brixham, Kingswear, and Paignton. Nearby seaside towns Torquay, Dartmouth, and Dittisham, along with Agatha Christie’s former home Greenway House, are also easily reachable, and the moorlands of Dartmoor are accessible by car.
