“Lovely little cottage in a lovely quiet village Which has everything we needed for a chilled week away.”

- Duncan, October 2024
Richard August 2024

“A very quaint picturesque cottage on the outside, in a very central position in the village.”

Car parking not ideal being 300 yards away and up a hill. Internally it was disappointing overall. To be fair the beds and linen were clean but the oven could have been cleaner. Kitchen equipment and utensils could do with updating as could some of the furniture. It would have been nice to find a bottle of milk in the fridge rather than an old yogurt!

- Richard, August 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. As regards the furniture, we have tried to give a rustic feel to the cottage, which is over 400 years old. There is an Edwardian lady's desk in the larger bedroom and we have had to find furniture that fits into the living room that also gives our guests a comfortable stay. So sorry about the strange yoghurt, but very surprised as our cleaning team usually don't leave things behind in the fridge as they clean it freshly for each set of guests. Also, our team normally leave the oven in an immaculate state, so sorry if you felt it was not so. Regarding your comment about milk, we used to do this, but found that so many of our guests don't drink it any more and left it behind, that we stopped doing it. Best wishes Lesley and Jim Harmer Property Owner

“Cottage in ideal location for beach, local eateries.”

Pretty cottage, clean & spacious inside. Furniture is a little dated & understand when it is a holiday let you don’t want to furnish it with expensive items but was a bit of a mishmash. Would recommend The Clipper (gd service, friendly staff) & The Strand Cafe (ditto as The Clipper but their milkshakes to die for) with their outside terraces. The Ferry Boat only offers BBQ food at weekends & nothing during the week & gets busy with people who go along to listen to live music they put on at weekends. Shaldon ferry to Teignmouth is great - the 2 fella’s who operate it are characters. Shaldon nice little place & ideal for a relaxing holiday sitting on beach reading a book & watching the boats & yachts coming & going.

David July 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at Teign Cottage .”

. beautiful location, very clean and comfortable, great amenities. It was lovely to meet Leslie and Jim who gave us great information about the area and only lived a short distance away if we needed anything. We will definitely be booking Teign Cottage again.

- David, July 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and for being such lovely guests ! We're so looking forward to seeing you and your lovely setters back again as soon as you can make it. Take care ... Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Stephen June 2024

“Beautiful cottage in a superb location.”

Very attentive property owners who lived only a short distance away. You will need to park your car a few streets away or in a nearby public car park (which you can book for a week on line) but this was not really a problem and much safer than trying to park in one of the very narrow streets. No rear garden but you can eat / drink al fresco at the front of the property where the street is quiet anyway.

- Stephen, June 2024
Michelle May 2024

“We had a lovely week in this beautiful grade 2 listed property.”

It is in the heart of the village, a stone’s throw from the beach and a flat walk to the village green, local shops and pubs. Only things to consider are that the stairs are very steep and a couple of the door frames are very low. This is a gem of a house in this lovely village. Highly recommend.

- Michelle, May 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so happy that you enjoyed our cottage - we love sharing it. It's over 400 years old and so has the idiosyncrasies, such as a couple of lower doorways and dog leg stairs, often seen with such ancient properties. We do, however, have very tall guests from time to time that we are very pleased to see still seem to cope with this. We hope very much to see you back again one day. Best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Joanne May 2024

“We loved our stay there, and the village is a great place and just a few steps away, local pubs and restaurants were very welcoming.”

- Joanne, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We're so pleased you loved your stay in our cottage. Best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Tracy May 2024

“Absolutely adorable cottage, we had a wonderful week and will definitely be back”

- Tracy, May 2024

So delighted to hear you loved our cottage and had a wonderful week ! We look forward to your return and hopefully will be around to welcome you next time ! Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Raymond April 2024

“Delightful cottage, warm and cosy.”

The owners, who we never actually met, furnished us with accurate information and were fully informative.

- Raymond, April 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We're so sorry not to have met you - we do normally meet our guests and welcome them in. We were in France on an archaeological trip on this occasion and so unfortunately were not able to do that. We do hope to have the opportunity to meet you at some future time if you decide to come back to our cottage. Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner

Very comfortable Convenient location Lovely and warm Well-equipped Maybe a welcome pack of milk and coffee would be good otherwise very good thank you

- Sarah, April 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback and we are so glad you found everything comfortable and convenient. We do leave tea and coffee, but no longer milk as so many guests didn't use it, preferring other milk substitutes. Best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Barbara March 2024

“Fine for a few days.”

This is a charming cottage, with an honest and accurate listing, not pretending to be more than basic. It's not overly refurbished and blessedly free of seaside tat. Important things are good and work well: comfortable beds, good bath & shower, heating, wifi, TV. But beyond the basics, the cottage was not comfortable enough for a stay longer than a few days. Hooks on backs of doors are not the best place to hang towels, a few more lamps would be helpful for reading, a few decent hangers would be good, and a small carton of milk in the fridge would have been very welcome. Although we received a friendly and helpful email ahead of our stay from the cottage owners, we did not meet them while we were there.

- Barbara, March 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We did come down several times once we returned to the village, but did not find you in. Hopefully you were enjoying yourselves elsewhere. Very pleased that you found everything working well, with comfortable beds etc. The reason we don't leave milk or provisions any more is that so many of our guests don't drink cows milk, or indeed any kind of milk and told us that the gesture was kind, but not needed. We would suggest that the towel rail is the place for towels, though of course guests can use door hooks as well. We'll check the clothes hangers as we have always provided plenty of them, so this is rather a mystery. Teign Cottage is over 400 years old and we have furnished it in a style that we think is both comfortable and in keeping with its age. Best wishes Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Jennifer March 2024

“We very much enjoyed our stay at Teign Cottage.”

The information provided by the owners was very helpful and the contacts they made with us made us feel very well supported. We missed seeing them on several occasions so did not meet them, unfortunately, but knew they were near to help if we had needed any help.

- Jennifer, March 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! We were sorry not to have met you, but are so glad that you felt supported by us. We very much hope to welcome you again one day. Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Julie February 2024

“We have stayed at lots of holiday cottages in Shaldon over the last 25 years and have always wanted to stay at Teign Cottage; were not disappointed.”

Cosy, quaint and full of character, this is the perfect place to stay; warm and inviting in winter and less than 100 steps from the beach ( and The Ferry Boat Inn), so would be just the job for a summer holiday too. Loved the cottage and hope to return shortly.

- Julie, February 2024

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! It was a great pleasure to meet you and share our cottage with you. We very much look forward to welcoming you back as our guests again. Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Massimo November 2023

“This was our second visit to the beautiful, quaint Teign Cottage - and certainly not our last!”

We can’t rate it highly enough!. Lesley & Jim couldn't be more welcoming & accommodating hosts & it was lovely to catch up with them (despite our dog covering them in white hair!). The cottage itself is in the centre of Shaldon & contains everything you need. The beach, walks, pubs, cafes & shops are on the doorstep & everywhere allows dogs!, but check the beach information for when dogs are allowed on the beaches as this changes depending on the season. We stayed out of season so parking was easy, during peak times it’s easy to buy a long stay ticket for the car parks which are a short walk away. Thank you Lesley & Jim for another relaxing break, we can’t wait to come back.

- Massimo, November 2023

Once again, thank you for being such lovely guests ! So very happy that you enjoyed yourselves, but sorry your daughter could not make it this time. We do hope so much that everything is going well for her now. We can't wait to welcome you all back !! Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Mike October 2023

“A truly quaint cottage with a superb location in Shaldon.”

Lesley and Jim turned out on a very wet afternoon to welcome us in. Super hosts, sorting a problem for us very quickly. We had great week, even though storm Ciaran visited as well! Just mind your heads if you’re over 5’6”!!!

- Mike, October 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave us the lovely feedback. We hope very much to welcome you back one day, hopefully when it's not pouring with rain ! Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Rowena September 2023

“We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cottage.”

The location is ideal right in the middle of the village and near to all. Only problem we found was it appears that there were mould on the inside door of the wardrobe in the main bedroom, so we didn't like to hang any clothes in there. This didn't spoil our holiday, as we just used the wardrobe in the other bedroom.

- Rowena, September 2023

Oh dear ! Only just seen your feedback Rowena and we're so sorry this happened ! We could have sorted it out if you had told us. So glad you enjoyed your stay in our cottage otherwise though and we hope to welcome you back again one day. Best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Tabatha August 2023

Nikki June 2023

“We have just come back from a gorgeous week in Shaldon staying in Teign Cottage.”

It was perfect, absolutely fantastic location, right in the middle of everything. The cottage was perfect, clean, tidy and everything you need. The owners Lesley and Jim were really nice, we are definitely booking again!

- Nikki, June 2023

Thank you so much for this lovely feedback ! We love sharing our cottage and are over the moon that you enjoyed your time there ! We hope very much to be welcoming you back very soon ! Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Jason May 2023

“We have just returned from 6 nights at Teign Cottage and we loved every minute of our stay!”

The cottage was everything we expected & more. The location was perfect, just off the main road & so nice and peaceful, a view of the beach/sea from our front patio area, and an ideal position for exploring the local area. The pub close by was also handy! We paid £30 for a weeks parking pass at one of the local larger car parks, but managed to find parking even closer on the sea front, which was free. It can't be guaranteed and so paying for a pass is a good back-up plan. The inside of the cottage was spacious, homely and just what we wanted for our stay. We couldn't fault it. Myself, wife, 8 year old daughter and dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and owners Lesley & Jim were always on hand to help if we had any questions. We look forward to returning to Teign Cottage again one day soon!

- Jason, May 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely feedback ! It makes us so very happy to hear that our guests have had a great stay and to know that you had everything you needed ! It was lovely to meet you all and to know that you will come back and stay again. We look forward very much to welcoming you back soon ! Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner

“The cottage was absolutely beautiful.”

Excellent location and was clean and well equipped. We met the owners and they were lovely. We would definitely recommend to friends and family and we wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, we loved it

- Thomas, April 2023

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely feedback ! It was a great pleasure meeting you all and hearing that you enjoyed our cottage ! We love to share it and are so happy when our guests love it too. We hope very much that you'll come back soon so that we can welcome you again. Kindest regards Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Massimo March 2023

“We have just got home from having a wonderful stay at Teign Cottage.”

Lesley & Jim couldn’t have been more welcoming & the property is just beautiful - cosy & filled with character. The beach is less than a minute away, shops, pubs & cafes around the corner. Our stay was off season so there was plenty of free parking -during peak times there are car parks within walking distance. We can’t wait to book again!

- Massimo, March 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! We're so happy that you enjoyed our cottage. We love sharing our cottage and meeting our guests ! We can't wait to welcome you and Monty back so please come back soon ! Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Phil March 2023

“This is a beautiful, well kept and well equipped cottage.”

The description of the property is accurate and it is spacious and comfortable. The heating system is very efficient. Shaldon is a wonderful, relaxing location with good amenities, shop, takeaway and pubs. The walks in the area are quite breathtaking and very nearby. All in all, this is a great holiday destination and a wonderful cottage.

- Phil, March 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! We're so happy that you enjoyed our cottage and found everything you could wish for there, and in Shaldon. We hope very much to welcome you back one day soon. Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Susan November 2022

“The cottage is very quaint and characterful, in an excellent location; the unspoilt village has very good facilities within a short walking distance, and plenty of interesting places to visit within a short drive.”

As it was outside the season, we were lucky and always able to find a free parking place close by, (though this wouldn't be the case Apr - Sept.). I would emphasise that the stairs are very steep, uneven and narrow and difficult for the elderly, infirm, or very young children, but appreciate this quirkiness is part of the charm of such an old cottage, likewise the ability to be able to fit in only a tiny fridge. The owners were very helpful and friendly, and we enjoyed our stay.

- Susan, November 2022

We do state in the listing that there is a steep and winding flight of stairs which we do feel is sufficient. We would always advise if you are worried about these sorts of things to ring us ahead of booking! - Helpful Holidays. Property Owner
Rebecca September 2022

“We are just on our way home after spending a week in this beautiful cottage.”

The cottage was immaculately clean and located in a stunning village with plenty of amenities only a very short walk away. The beach is literally across the road with quick access to the foot ferry to Teignmouth. The owners are absolutely lovely and couldn’t help enough with ensuring we were settled in. So pleased to have found this absolute gem of a place and will definitely return (hopefully many times!).

- Rebecca, September 2022

Thank you so much for this lovely feedback and for being such lovely guests ! We are very much looking forward to welcoming you and your gorgeous dog, Trevor, back ! Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Scott July 2022

“Excellent little cottage.”

Big enough for 4 people whilst still maintaining the historic and cosy feel of the property. The owners were fantastic and always on hand if you had any questions. This is a proper hidden gem, the village has everything you need and all in close proximity We will be booking again.

- Scott, July 2022

Thank you for this lovely feedback Scott and family. We love sharing our cottage and are so delighted when our guests love our cottage as much as we do. We look forward very much to welcoming you back ! Very Best Wishes. Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Stuart July 2022

“The property provided everything we expected.”

A little small in places but that cannot be changed due to the age of the property. Excellent shower.....and the lack of cupboard space for food is a tiny issue. All in all we had a good stay.

- Stuart, July 2022
William June 2022

“This is a lovely character cottage in a superb location.”

We where met and supported by the owners who made us feel very welcome. The stairs are steep and narrow so difficult for a suitcase, but there is plenty of room downstairs so no real issues. Shaldon is a lovely place with a ferry to Teignmouth and onwards. We had a really pleasant stay and would highly recommend the cottage as a perfect location to stay and explore this area.

- William, June 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad that you enjoyed our cottage- sorry about the stairs, but the cottage is over 300 years old and listed so we can’t change them. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming you back again. Very best wishes Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Christopher June 2022

“Teign cottage is an enchanting, ancient, thatched cottage.”

The facilities are excellent & attractive. We especially loved the kitchen. You actually enjoy a view of the river from the cottage & we had the pleasure of seeing the most magical, salmon pink sunrise, during our stay. Most of all, we were able to relax & enjoy all that Shaldon has to offer! Chris

- Christopher, June 2022

Thank you so much Clare and Chris ! We’re so happy that you enjoyed our cottage and Shaldon. We hope very much to welcome you back again soon. Very best wishes Lesley and Jim x Property Owner
Maggie May 2022

“Charming cottage.”

..v comfortable -wonderful downstairs accomodation...extremely good location. The staircase. Caution is required for any age group managing the stairs -the door opening onto them makes it tricky..but once up there its quirky with its sloping floors. The bedroom is a delightful surprise..roomy and comfy. Shaldon is a very pretty place to visit and especially entertaining during jubilee week

- Maggie, May 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re so happy that you enjoyed our cottage and our village. We hope very much to see you back again soon xx Property Owner

Maxine February 2022

“We have just had a wonderful week away at the most beautiful cosy, cute, gorgeous Teigh Cottage.”

When we arrived at the cottage it absolutely spotless clean from the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms to the bed linen. Also as it was February & very chilly the cottage was absolutely so cosy & lovely and warm, considering we were there for storm Dudley & Eurnie we felt safe at Teigh Cotrage. Lesley & her husband where such lovely hosts sent me an email before hand to explain exactly how to find the cottage, what lovely places there are to eat what local are shops there are, where you can park which was just brilliant, thank you Lesley. I will most definitely be booking again to stay at Teigh Cottage it was like home from home with all your home comfort's. And Shaldon itself is just the most beautiful village and a definite must to visit. Thank you Lesley for a wonderful stay at your beautiful cottage xx

- Maxine, February 2022

Thank you so much Maxine for your lovely feedback ! We're absolutely delighted that you had a wonderful time, especially in view of the storms ! Even though you had three dogs with you, we're so grateful for the lovely condition you left our cottage in, especially considering the red sand on the beach where our doggy companions love to play.. We are so pleased that you will be coming back to us and can't wait to welcome you all back. Many thanks again ! Lesley and Jim xx Property Owner
Clive February 2022

“It's a lovely quiet chocolate box cottage, in the heart of a lovely little village.”

We really enjoyed our break and Tangle the dog loved being so close to the beach, It's only a short ferry ride over to the main town of Teignmouth where you have all the shops. Lesley & Jim the owners where lovely. We would definitely stay again.

- Clive, February 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! We look forward very much to welcoming you back ! And Tangle of course ! Property Owner
Herbert November 2021

“We found Teign cottage to be a first class holiday rental property.”

It is extremely well equipped with every kitchen item that could be needed. The cooker is first class and heats up rapidly. The lounge is very comfortable and has a great TV. The main bedroom is huge and has a very comfortable bed and also has a TV. There is a second bedroom with twin beds which looks nice too. We were there in late November so the heating system kept us nice and warm. Location of the property is excellent and we could see the estuary from the windows. Its a very short distance from the beach so our Border Collie loved it and she even had an extra evening walk on the beach and crisps in the real ale pub a few yards away. There is also an excellent restaurant, The Clipper, a few yards away. Even in the off season I would recommend booking a table. The owners are very hospitable and even met us to hand over the keys although here is a key safe provided. Communications were great both by email and phone. I managed to leave my dressing gown behind and the owner called to say they will send it on. We really enjoyed our break and would like to return eventually.

- Herbert, November 2021

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and also for leaving our cottage in such beautiful condition. This especially considering our ubiquitous red sand and it’s proximity to your lovely collie ! We do so appreciate this. We look forward very much to welcoming you back in the future. Very best wishes Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Marc July 2021

“Amazing cottage had a amazing holiday in the lovely little village.”

Would 100% recommend and would 100% go back

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback ! We're so pleased that you loved our cottage. We hope very much to welcome you back in the future. Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
Teresa June 2021

“Picturesque cottage in central location.”

Very well renovated, clean and comfortable. Lovely sun trap in the front garden. Parking was easy in the large car park at The Ness with a weekly ticket bought through Teignbridge Council website, an easy 10-15 minute walk along the shore. We only needed to drive through the narrow streets of the village to load and unload at beginning and end. We found the fridge to be on the small side so couldn't do a big shop for food for the week. However, there are plenty of local places to eat out or buy food on a daily basis (a butcher, baker, grocery store) so it wasn't an issue.

- Teresa, June 2021

Thank you so much for giving us this feedback. Sorry about the size of the fridge, but unfortunately the cottage couldn't really cope with anything bigger. However, as you say, there are good local shops and restaurants. We hope very much to welcome you back next year. Very best wishes. Lesley and Jim Property Owner
David May 2021

“Had a really relaxing week in Teign cottage, would definitely recommend this cottage .”

Shaldon is a lovely place to stay. Will definitely come back . Thank you Lesley and Jim.

Paul October 2020

“The furniture was very tired in this beautiful cottage and the lounge had a smell which suggested animals had been on the loose covers.”

The inside was not a patch on the outside. The furniture,with the exception of the kitchen,looked like it was from a charity shop. The bathrooms were nice. It met expectations because the outside was gorgeous but the inside needed sorting to the same standard. Those loose covers were fit for nothing but the bin. The ship was spoilt for ha’peth of tar.

- Paul, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. We have worked hard to make the cottage a characterful and pleasant place to stay. Our sofas were actually made for the cottage living room, they are plump and comfortable and normally have throws as well. We thought long and hard about what extra protection we could give our guests during this pandemic, and concluded that it would give an extra layer of safety for our guests if we covered our furniture with washable covers and these are brand new. Thus, it's much easier to sanitise our cottage between guests - we feel very happy with this solution and hope our guests appreciate this extra care and understand the reasons for it. Property Owner
Chris September 2020

“The location and character of this very old thatched cottage is wonderful.”

The village is both beautiful and excellently served with good pubs, local shops and cafes. One drawback is parking. The nearest car park is about 10 minutes away and up a fairly steep hill. £3.80 per day. The less fit or able need to take this into consideration before choosing this lovely cottage. Otherwise this is a lovely base for a quiet relaxing holiday.

- Chris, September 2020
Marian August 2020

“Teign cottage in shaldon is a beautiful little 300 year old thatched cottage, the cottage is situated in the heart of the village and within easy walking distance to a number of eating establishments and pubs together with a few shops, We visited a number of towns including going into Cornwall and visiting looe and polperro, we also went on a lovely trip on the dart valley steam train into Dartmouth and then on a boat trip up the river dart.”

We will definitely Be booking this beautiful cottage and Visiting the lovely Shaldon again.

- Marian, August 2020
Heather July 2020

Twisting and steep stairs lead from the kitchen up to a good sized landing and two bedrooms; a twin and a double with kingsize with TV, plus a bathroom (suite) complete with washing machine and small porthole on the door.

Downstairs WC Teign Cottage is a lovely, quirky and special place to stay tucked moments away from the sandy beach and the heart of the bustling village with lots of good cafes, pubs and shops to choose from.

Teignmouth across the water (accessible via pedestrian ferry or road bridge) is a traditional resort town complete with pier and mainline station.
