Florida is a characterful, semi-detached holiday home nestled in the Regency village of Shaldon, South Devon. With traditional furnishings, stained-glass windows and exposed beams, this picturesque property provides a family of six with easy access local amenities, and Dartmoor National Park. Shaldon has a beautiful safe beach where the water is never far away even at low tide, making it a perfect relaxing break for a group or family. Spend the day on the beach watching the boats bob about on the Teign Estuary, building sandcastles with the kids, or trying your hand at paddle boarding and kayaking, Shaldon beach has something for everyone. Before you pack up for the day, be sure to have a refreshing drink from the friendly Ferry Boat Inn which must have one of the best outdoor terraces you’re likely to find, right next to the beach overlooking the water. Need a cooked breakfast to start your day, then the Clipper Cafe or Strand Cafe is a brief stroll away! The fantastic location is one of the attractions of this cottage. At just a minutes’ walk to the beach, if you forget anything or need a few trips for your kit, then don’t worry, just pop back and get it! Park up your car, unpack and put your keys away in the drawer, everything you need, from the local village shop, lovely traditional pubs, great food, to the beach and sea is just a short easy walk away. You'll find the property down a quiet, narrow street with an off-road parking space for one car: a real bonus in this bustling little village! A spacious kitchen/diner welcomes you to stock up the cupboards ready to rustle up your best home-cooked meals using the electric oven and ceramic hob, while the dishwasher promises fuss-free clean ups. Set the farmhouse dining table for six and catch up with your loved ones over supper, before settling into the nearby sitting room. Sink into the squishy, floral sofa or one of two armchairs and choose a film for the evening's entertainment on the Smart TV; be sure to start the electric fire on colder nights for added comfort. After fun-filled days by the sea or rambling through Dartmoor, throw your holiday gear in the utility with a washer and dryer, before climbing the stairs to freshen up in the bathroom. Choose between a bubble bath in the sumptuous corner bath or a hot rinse in the walk-in shower, all the while your towel stays toasty on the large, heated towel rail. All three bedrooms offer crisp white sheets, storage space, and quaint cottage-style touches, with a king-size, super king-size zip/link, and a twin to suit families, couples and friends. In the morning, take a fresh cup of coffee out to the front patio with outdoor seating and plan the day's adventures! The boot room has plenty of space for storing hiking gear, bikes, and watersports equipment, so the possibilities are endless. There is also a games cupboard to keep everybody entertained. A short stroll takes you into the centre of Shaldon to dine at the London Inn, cafe-Ode, or stock up on essentials at the local convenience store. Be sure to visit Shaldon Castle with its Botanical Gardens, take the little ones to meet exotic species at Shaldon Wildlife Trust, or while away the hours along Shaldon Beach! From Shaldon you can take a trip over to the seaside town of Teignmouth on the oldest passenger ferry in England. Teignmouth is home to the 19th-century Grand Pier, Teign Heritage Museum, and the family-friendly Teignmouth Beach for swimming are all well-worth a visit. Further south along the coast lies the resort town of Torquay and the seaside town of Paignton, which hosts Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, the Victorian Paignton Pier with plenty of classic amusements, and plenty of sandy beaches for sunbathing and building sandcastles. If you're looking for an outdoor adventure away from the hustle and bustle, head into the Dartmoor National Park for walking, climbing and cycling through wild, open moorlands rich in history and wildlife, including Becky Falls Ancient Woodland Park and Spitchwick park and gardens. A lovely house with lots of charm, secure your next family holiday in Devon at Florida.
