Easy access to all the facilities of Teignmouth. Parking permit from Teignbridge Council is easy to obtain online and saves worry about finding change for parking.

Everything you needed. A lovely gift when we arrived. One downside....A summer weight quilt would have been better.

Extremely clean and well equipped. Very comfortable bed. Unfortunately the settee was very uncomfortable for us. It was very low backed and firm. Due to the very wet weather we spent quite a lot of time in the flat reading. We used spare pillows to try and make it more comfortable. A real shame as we would book Samphire again except for the settee.
