    “A wonderful period cottage in a perfect location, close to all the amenities of Shaldon.”

    The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was warm and cosy throughout. Everything is within easy walking distance, including Teignmouth, which is around a 20-minute walk away. One day, we took the train from Teignmouth to Exeter, which was a great experience. Shaldon itself has friendly pubs, a superb café, and an excellent restaurant. The cottage is just a short stroll from the beach, where we frequently enjoyed walks along the shore.

    The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was warm and cosy throughout. Everything is within easy walking distance, including Teignmouth, which is around a 20-minute walk away. One day, we took the train from Teignmouth to Exeter, which was a great experience. Shaldon itself has friendly pubs, a superb café, and an excellent restaurant. The cottage is just a short stroll from the beach, where we frequently enjoyed walks along the shore. We also visited Shaldon Zoo and explored the Smuggler’s Tunnel. The area is mostly flat and very accessible, making it ideal for walking. Parking was not an issue for us in February, as we found a space just a few streets away. This is an excellent property with friendly and welcoming owners, perfectly situated to enjoy the charming village of Shaldon and beyond. Highly recommended!

The property

Tucked moments from the river beach in the heart of Shaldon, Teign Cottage is a wonderful, unique Grade II thatched cottage with some views towards the river and Teignmouth beyond from both the sitting room and master double.

Inside full of character, wobbly walls and some low doors - a special place to stay but if you're over 6' or prefer level floors and ceilings then it might not be ideal.

From the enclosed terrace at the front, step down to hall with space for coats and boots, sitting room with TV and electric flame-effect fire .

Across the sand-washed hall a good sized kitchen/dining room with fitted kitchen with window seat.

Large table perfect for planning the day's activities around.

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.

The larger town of Torquay is 7 miles and the Cathedral city of Exeter is 15 miles away and perfect destinations for a day out exploring.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
