This fabulous coastal cottage oozes style and is awash with original features combined with top quality contemporary fittings. It’s a beautiful, picture-perfect property with three bedrooms and two bathrooms offering excellent holiday accommodation for up to six guests. Imagine a fusion of traditional dark wood floors, exposed beams and leather Chesterfields with beautiful bedrooms and high-end bath and shower room fittings.

Inside the property, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and the spacious living area is stunning … from the elegant French-style dining table and chairs and pretty window seat piled high with cushions to the leather Chesterfield sofas and cosy wood burner. The style continues into the kitchen, fully fitted with grey cottage style units and Belfast sink. Wide French doors lead out onto a delightful, whitewashed courtyard with table and chairs and potted palms and ferns. Upstairs, the three bedrooms – two doubles and a twin - are of the same high standard with dark wood floors and fabulous furnishings. The two bathrooms are stunning, with marble and stone tiles, standalone sinks and showers with glass screens.

The property is in the heart of Shaldon village, sitting between the green & The Clipper Café and beach. Shaldon is a quaint little fishing town, sitting opposite Teignmouth at the mouth of the River Teign – which is easily reachable on one of the regular ferries so you can explore further afield. Teignmouth also offers rail links to cities such as Devon and Plymouth if you want to explore a little further afield. Shaldon is a great place for walking too with the South West Coast Path offering some fabulous coastal strolls right from the doorstep. Follow one of the nature trails, do a spot of bird watching on the river or try your hand at one of the water sports on offer. Golfing enthusiasts will enjoy the 18-hole golf course, the charming local conservation zoo is a must, as are the fabulous beaches and the Homeyards Botanical Gardens.

If you’re visiting In August why not come and join in the fun at the Shaldon Regatta, a nine day event that is over 200 years old and offers fun for all the family.

Sea Dream cottage is a lovely property in a fantastic location. However, there were a number of issues inside the property that need attention and the outside areas are poorly maintained and require updating including the garden furniture which needs replacing. Overall the general cleanliness both inside and outside the property could be improved.

We stayed in this beautiful cottage over Christmas 2025. When we arrived and stepped through the door, it was warm, cosy and had been tastefully decorated for Christmas. The beds were super comfy with quality pillows and bed linen and everyone had a good nights sleep in all three bedrooms. The location is excellent and we loved being able to walk eRead moreverywhere, with plenty of places open even though it was winter, local people were also very friendly. We were out every day visiting family and walking along the stunning coastline, however, we did love coming back to the cottage, it was like having a warm hug as we came through the door. Hide

Lovely cottage in the heart of beautiful Shaldon. Great location with plenty of space. Although parking is always a challenge in the heart of the village - the Ness car park is convenient and not expensive. A range of options for eating in Shaldon plus lots of choice in Teignmouth accessible by ferry during the day or a nice walk back or the taxis Read morevery reasonable later on in the day. Recommendations include the Blue Hut, Lobster Lounge and Crab Shack plus Ship for drinks. Hide

Comfortable accommodation in a very convenient location make this a good choice for staying local or exploring further afield. A few features in the cottage could do with a refresh, but they don't take away from the overall quality of the stay.

We arrived to a beautiful clean cottage right in the heart of Shaldon with the added bonus of the beach being right on the doorstep! Sea Dream cottage is very well equipped for all your needs. The kitchen is modern with lots of crockery & utensils, everything you need & more! The living room is cosy with wooden beams, lots of seating and a woodRead more burning stove. There is also a lovely window seat where you can sit and watch people passing by. Being close to the Clipper Cafe we were able to have fresh croissants & coffee most mornings! The courtyard garden was lovely, our little dog felt very safe. The information folder was very useful too, the owners have thought of everything you need to know. Shaldon can be extremely busy but we were very lucky with parking, being able to park next to the cottage was an added bonus. One thing to note, due to the age of the cottage some of the floors upstairs are uneven, especially the bathroom but this is to be excepted and adds to the charm. Overall we had a lovely stay at Sea Dream cottage it has a very homely atmosphere. Hide

The best thing about this cottage is that it is in Shaldon! It is also in a wonderful location for everything in the village. There is adequate outdoor space at the cottage to hang out wet things and rinse off muddy boots. Plenty of space downstairs. Might be worth taking an extra towel if you want more than one for the whole week. Good kitchen forRead more cooking and everything you could possibly need for a week, all listed on the website. Very quiet even though on the road. Hide
