Car parking not ideal being 300 yards away and up a hill. Internally it was disappointing overall. To be fair the beds and linen were clean but the oven could have been cleaner. Kitchen equipment and utensils could do with updating as could some of the furniture. It would have been nice to find a bottle of milk in the fridge rather than an old yogurt!

. beautiful location, very clean and comfortable, great amenities. It was lovely to meet Leslie and Jim who gave us great information about the area and only lived a short distance away if we needed anything. We will definitely be booking Teign Cottage again.

Pretty cottage, clean & spacious inside. Furniture is a little dated & understand when it is a holiday let you donât want to furnish it with expensive items but was a bit of a mishmash. Would recommend The Clipper (gd service, friendly staff) & The Strand Cafe (ditto as The Clipper but their milkshakes to die for) with their outside terraces. The Ferry Boat only offers BBQ food at weekends & nothing during the week & gets busy with people who go along to listen to live music they put on at weekends. Shaldon ferry to Teignmouth is great - the 2 fellaâs who operate it are characters. Shaldon nice little place & ideal for a relaxing holiday sitting on beach reading a book & watching the boats & yachts coming & going.
