Stroll down to the beach to paddle or watch the boats go by when you stay at this character-laden cottage in Teignmouth. Sleeping four guests, the two-bedroom hideaway was once a fisherman’s home and now makes a welcoming hideaway for those seeking to discover all that South Devon has to offer. Enjoy the shops and eateries of Teignmouth on foot or take the pedestrian ferry over to Shaldon. Venture into magnificent Dartmoor National Park, 11 miles away, for fabulous footpaths.

Let yourselves into your salmon-coloured retreat from the pretty street that leads down to the sea. Make your way into the inviting lounge/diner, with its brick and stone chimney breast and comfortable seating. Find your favourite boxset on the Smart TV, chat or play a game together at the end of your fun day out. Wander through to the galley-style kitchen/diner, with its stylish fittings and breakfast bar for casual meals and snacks. Make fresh coffee in the machine to enjoy in here or back through at the table in the main room. Your family shower room, where you can rinse off after salty swims, is up on the first floor, together with a king-size bedroom and a twin. There is an enclosed courtyard to the rear of the property, where you can enjoy the sea air. Parking is in a public car park within 200 metres of the bolthole, subject to availability.

Potter at Back Beach, just 30 metres away, or venture 250 metres to the seafront. From here, you can walk out along the seafront and the South West Coast Path. Plan a day trip to Bustling Torquay, 9 miles away, with its beaches and traditional, seaside attractions. The cathedral city of Exeter, 24 miles away, with its many historical sites, also makes a great day out.

Great cottage, centrally located but also great as a fifty step walk puts you on the back beach where so much activity occurs. Great place for couples or families.

This cottage was in a great position close to the promenade and local shops and amenities. It was really well equipped and very comfortable. The only minor downside was noise from seagulls nesting on nearby rooftops. but that is totally outwith owners control. A great place to stay and views from Back Beach were amazing.

Lovely property in a great location, very clean and although neighbours were a bit funny about us unloading the car (for maybe 5 mins) the parking at the point car park was fine. Well equipped property with no pets which suits us, in great walking distance of the town and the beaches. Wifi was great as we needed to work during our stay and great shRead moreower and comfortable beds. Would stay again if need to travel again for work. Hide
