Torcross Boathouse Cafe and Takeaway

Did you know the view from your table at the Boathouse spans two completely different worlds 🌊🦆

On one side, Start Bay, where seals and dolphins are regular visitors, often spotted just offshore at sunrise or sunset. On the other, Slapton Ley, the largest natural freshwater lake in the South West, and a protected Site of Special Scientific Interest. It’s been a National Nature Reserve since 1993, home to otters, bitterns, and the unmistakable song of the Cetti’s warbler, plus visiting wildfowl all year round.

Two worlds, separated by a few metres of shingle. Bring your binoculars next time you visit Torcross , you never know what you’ll spot 😉

Cassandra has been on multiple retreats with us, and we can't wait to welcome her back this Autumn on our flagship 'Roam & Release' Autumn Equinox retreat with her equally awesome friend Nicky. They always book early and nab the Twin ensuite room at The Old Bakehouse, just second from the ocean, and with views across the nature reserve.

Congrats to Cassandra, who told me just today during my weekly online class she joins, that she just completed 15 days of solid hiking - on the epic Coast to Coast walk.

Looking forward to seeing you and Nicky in Sep!

Summer hols just round the corner, which means it’s nearly bucket and net season at Torcross.

The shingle beach right outside the Boathouse is made for it: paddling, or a dip in the calm, sheltered water. Pack a picnic, bring the dog, and let the kids loose for the afternoon, the views are just as good from a beach towel as they are from a table.

And if you cross the road, you can feed the ducks at the Ley (be sure to grab your duck feed from The Billy Can first!)

We can’t wait to have you back once we’re reopened, but the beach is open right now and waiting for you.
