Shaldon has a wide range of places to eat and shops, and there is a pub situated right next door to the cottage, perfect for when you would rather someone else do the cooking. Take the passenger ferry over the River Teign to Teignmouth, where you can try out paddle boarding or canoeing, or visit the biggest outdoor waterpark in the UK, 10 miles away near Paignton. While you are here, explore the many beaches of the ‘English Rivera’ stretching from Torquay to Brixham.

Enter this lovely characterful home straight into the open-plan living area, with Cream Tea welcome package provided upon arrival. Spend evenings in front of the fire sitting back on the comfortable sofas and reflecting on the day’s events. Beyond the lounge is a pretty country-style kitchen which has everything you need to cook up a delicious breakfast, prepare a picnic, or create a culinary delight for dinner. Sit around the four-seater dining table and enjoy eating together. Adjacent to the kitchen is a handy and spacious utility room, a washing machine, fridge/freezer, microwave, and dishwasher. Completing the ground floor is a stylish shower room. Upstairs you will find two bright and welcoming bedrooms. The king-size bedroom has a Smart TV and built-in wardrobe, ideal for a couple. The second bedroom features a captain's bed which can be made up as a double or two singles (please request bedding arrangements when booking).
