Upper Carlane - 3 Bedroom barn conversion

Upper Carlane Court is a welcoming holiday barn conversion in a lovely location within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A village shop and two friendly pubs, The Queen's Arms and The Tower Inn, are only a short walk away. Slapton Sands is only a mile away, while the beautiful Slapton Ley Nature Reserve is even closer. The holiday properties are very well-equipped for relaxed family holidays by the coast. The property is ideal to be booked on its own or with one of the other properties for a multi-generational holiday or celebration.

Slapton Sands' calm waters are a favourite for swimming, paddle boarding and fishing. There's a lifeguard on duty in the summer at the Tor Cross end together with a cafe and other amenities, so you don't have to pop home if you forget anything. A narrow shingle bar separates the beach from Slapton Ley. Many visitors are surprised to discover the large lake is freshwater despite being so close to the sea, but the diverse landscape is one reason this region is so special.
