We were extremely pleased with the property, very clean and everything supplied for our stay. One small suggestion some kind of shower caddy is needed - no where to put shower gel, shampoo etc except on the floor of the shower.

Shaldon
Lovely cottage, very clean, great location / area. I had travelled through before this time & enjoyed Ness Cove & Smugglers tunnel. Took the ferry across toTeignmouth, brilliant! Took a detour to A La Ronde on way home- recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

Perfect short break
Staying in the lovely cottage in Shaldon was an absolute delight! The accommodation itself is excellent and close to amenities. The village boasts a bakery, inviting pubs, and the fantastic Clipper restaurant, ensuring there's never a shortage of delicious dining options. Additionally, the short walk to Teignmouth provided ample opportunities to explore the pier, browse quaint shops, indulge in cozy cafes, and even take a scenic ferry back to Shaldon, making it a truly memorable and picturesque getaway. Shaldon Zoo was also a great way to spend a few hours. We didn’t use the car the whole time we were there either so racked up quite a few steps, which was another bonus! Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting!

A quiet break
A very enjoyable out of season break avoiding the summer crowds. Only two of us plus the dog, so the cottage was more than adequate and very well located within easy walk of the beach plus a brilliant butchers and village store. A big plus is the undercroft parking as parking is an issue in the village even out of season. Cottage is well equipped and ideal for self catering. The local pubs are ok but not as good out of season. Overall a lovely break for both of us.

Loved Shaldon and Teignmouth
We had a very enjoyable stay at the cottage. Everything was within an easy walking distance or short car ride. Saltwater cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We travelled to Teignmouth via the ferry which took about 5 minutes to cross over. We also took the scenic train route up the coast. Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable and well placed cottage.
Comfortable cottage with all the necessary amenities and an undercover parking bay. Well placed in a lovely Georgian village overlooking the river Teign and out sea. Easy to explore the surrounding countryside, beaches and Teignmouth. The shops in the village provide all your basic needs for a great holiday and there are several good pubs/restaurants as well. All very quaint.

Beautiful beach break
Well equipped and beautifully decorated house. 10 minutes walk to town beach - further 10 minutes (well worth the effort) to Ness Cove, through the Smugglers Tunnel. Shaldon is a traditional English seaside town, overlooking the estuary to Teignmouth. A good selection of local shops including a butcher and bakery and enough pubs/restaurants to please most people. We loved it and would definitely return.

Lovely place to stay
The cottage itself is lovely, light and airy, clean and well equiped. The parking space is a godsend. It was nice to have the outside space to sit in when the weather was nice. It's in walking distance of a general store, butcher, bakery, pharmacy, pubs and cafes, beaches and botanical garden. Be sure to visit Shaldon zoo and go through the smugglers tunnel to Ness Cove. You can also take a ferry across to Teignmouth. We didn't need to use the car at all while we were there. Would be happy to stay there again.

Lovely place. Great location. Parking is a real bonus! The bunk beds are small especially the top bunk with not much head room but it’s a lovely room for the little ones. The cottage is just lovely. Can’t wait to go back.

Best sleep in a long time!
We've never stayed in this area before, but the house was in a great location, sort walk to shops, pubs and not too far to walk to Teignmouth. The house was lovely, had everything we needed, it was very clean. The bed was so comfortable I didn't want to come home! I haven't slept so well for a long time. We would definitely consider staying here again. The one thing I would change is maybe another comfy chair in the living room. Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend.
