A stone’s throw from the unspoilt and picturesque coastline of South Devon, FSC Slapton Ley is located on the Start Bay coast and surrounded by Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve. The Ley is the largest natural freshwater lake in the South West and separated from the sea by Slapton Sands. The accommodation is in 4 blocks sleeping 75, 33, 17 and 17. Large groups can book by the block or take over the whole site. Otherwise there are single, twin and family rooms and small dormitories, mostly en suite. Outside there are beautiful landscaped grounds with seating areas, shelters and a wildlife area. All types of bookings are welcome including singles, couples, groups of adults, families and extended family groups. Due to Covid-19, rooms are currently offered on a B&B basis at very reasonable rates. The centre is situated next to a 210 hectare national nature reserve that includes the 4km long Slapton Sands beach. Slapton village with it’s community shop and 2 pubs are just a short walk away.
