The beautiful estuary town of Salcombe is in the heart of the rolling South Hams, a glorious area found in South Devon. South Hams is known for having a temperate climate, verdant unspoilt countryside, hidden coves, sandy beaches, and a spectacular coastline. Arguably one of the most sought-after waterfront locations in the UK, Salcombe is a wonderful vibrant town with a busy and well-established Fore Street, stocked with independent shops and galleries, pubs, cafés, and restaurants. The Kingsbridge & Salcombe Estuary has numerous sandy beaches, coves, and sheltered anchorages, all of which make it an excellent base for dingy sailing, water sports, boating and long walks along this beautiful coastline. Sandpiper is situated in Higher Batson, a peaceful and tranquil hamlet found on the edge of the town, in a peaceful valley at the head of Batson Creek. The creek itself leads into Salcombe Harbour, and there is a beautiful level walk into town along the water's edge, which take about 15 minutes.

The larger town of Kingsbridge is about 6 miles away and offers a wider range of amenities including Kingsbridge Academy, a highly regarded secondary school, two supermarkets, a leisure centre with indoor swimming pool and a cinema.
