About this property
This wonderful house sits in a row right on the beach in Shaldon with fabulous views from the back. This waterside house is an excellent beachside location for families and friends. From the little lane, enter into the hall, off which is the lovely open plan living space which will take your breath away with its contemporary style, travertine floor and balcony looking over the interesting beach with its little boats, swans and great sunsets over The Ness. The well equipped kitchen area comes with granite work surfaces and a breakfast bar. Seating for four in a separate snug makes another cosy room for relaxing, watching TV or playing on the Wii. Head up the stairs to three spacious bedrooms, with sea views from the doubles, and the bonus of an en suite and balcony with one. Wander along the beach or around the village shops and green, or try cockle picking in the River Teign estuary. Just across the bridge, enjoy the traditional seaside resort attractions of Teignmouth with its big beach and promenade. You can hire boats, take a fishing trip, visit the little zoo or chill out in little pubs, or if you're feeling energetic, walk the South West Coast Path to Torquay. The Dolphins is a smashing base for soothing water views or admiring this coastal spot with its range of attractions.
Shaldon is a pretty Regency village on the opposite bank to the historic, seaside town of Teignmouth in South Devon. It's on the mouth of the Teign estuary and boasts pubs, shops, tea rooms, and a small zoo.

The facilities were as described, and our stay (four adults and a four year old) was comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable. Our only cavil was the check in/out times - difficult to get everything packed and loaded by 9am - luckily, we have a long-standing friend who is a Shaldon resident, and we were able to breakfast with her. We would certainly consider booking again.

The position it is in is so unique and Shaldon such a fabulous place to spend Christmas. We will be coming back. My only issue ( mentioned before by others) is the late time of getting in and early departure. 5pm entry and 9 am departure makes life quite difficult. I am sure this puts many off. I understand it needs to be cleaned but I see no other rentals with this provision.

We have stayed in The Dolphins before and we are going again for Christmas. Its position is wonderful and Shaldon is so friendly. The house is well equipped and comfortable. The only issue for us was not being able to arrive until so late and having to be out so early. Would highly recommend a stay here.
