The Sloop Inn - A historic harbourside inn with local seafood dining and proximity to surf beaches

Believed to date from around 1312 AD, The Sloop Inn features nautical decor, including a ship's wheel and port hole windows. Rooms include double and family accommodations with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee makers, and private bathrooms with free toiletries; some offer sea views. A full English breakfast with locally sourced ingredients is served daily at The Sloop Inn, while the on-site restaurant specializes in local seafood, such as Salcombe crab and Bigbury Bay lobster. The inn is situated near Thurlestone Beach (2 km) and Bigbury Beach (2 km), Devon's largest surfing location, with easy access to the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (5 km).

Pros

Historic ambiance with nautical-themed decor and a wooden boat bar.

On-site restaurant serving fresh local seafood, including crab and lobster.

Proximity to surf beaches and coastal walking routes like Bolberry Down (5 km).

Family rooms available, equipped with tea/coffee facilities and flat-screen TVs.

Cons

No on-site parking due to the harbourside location.

Some rooms may face noise from the nearby public thoroughfare.

“The Sloop Inn stands out for its staff and fresh seafood, a combination that elevates the experience in Kingsbridge. Rooms offer sea views, and the inn balances location with genuine value. For relaxed stays near the beach, it's a comfortable base, particularly noted for its breakfast.”
