  Lovely, clean and well maintained property.

  Dog friendly but don’t let that put you off, it was spotless. An upside down house with 2 en-suite bedrooms on opposite sides of the hallway. One double, one twin. I would have preferred the double to be in the other room which had the nicer walk in shower and was lighter and brighter, but both rooms were good so not a problem and I enjoyed the double ended bath for a good soak. The living area upstairs is spacious with kitchen at one end and sun room with small balcony at the other. The sun room is particularly comfy and loved the filled bird feeder which meant I saw my first ever woodpecker! Your own private hot tub which is fully cleaned between bookings made for good relaxation after a day of coastal hills! Well equipped kitchen; electric hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge with good sized ice box. Washing machine, laundry basket and airer. Hairdryer and towels provided. Dishwasher tablets, hand soap, kitchen cleaning stuff provided. Salt, pepper and cling film/sarnie bags provided so no need to bring. Could do with more ‘proper’ mugs for a good sized cuppa. Tips for a good stay: restaurants get booked up so worth advance booking. Moody cow looked nice for sun lunch. The Pepper pot was pleasant for lunch or dinner. The Cost Cutter local shop in New Quay had a surprisingly good selection inc vegetarian. Big supermarkets are a bit further afield so get an advance Tesco delivery or shop on the way. Note that sat nav only gets you so far, don’t forget to drop a pin on the map once arrived so you can find your way back! It’s not hard once you know but confusing the first few times. We enjoyed walking from llangranog and tresaith to pen bryn (which had the better cafe). All in all, a lovely relaxing stay. Thank you.

  What a super property in a truly wonderful and tranquil rural location yet within a short drive of excellent local pub and convenience store.

  Pond cottage, one of two lovely detached holiday cottages in a small complex of three homes in all including the owners' former farm house, is a genuine delight. The property is unusual perhaps with it's inverted accommodation but exceptionally spacious throughout, interesting in layout and ideal in particular for two couples with it's two large double bedrooms each having extremely generous bathroom or shower room but separated by a large entrance hall with useful fully equipped utility cupboard under the stairs. A single step down at the end of the large lounge/diner leads into an additional seating area with two comfortable chairs from which visitors can admire a stunning variety of birds on the nut feeder and balcony immediately outside. The excellent Kitchen/Breakfast Room completes the accommodation and is not only extremely well fitted and equipped but again unusually generous in size. The covered hot tub just outside the back door was more than a bonus, it was a delight in itself with direct outlook over the grounds which themselves afford a gorgeous setting with plenty of opportunity for dog walking. Last but not least, a special mention must be made of the owners Mark and Philippa who are most helpful, warm and welcoming and made us feel quite at home. Casper and Bailey, the owners' very friendly Spaniels, contributed to that welcome too !

  A wonderful period cottage in a perfect location, close to all the amenities of Shaldon.

  The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was warm and cosy throughout. Everything is within easy walking distance, including Teignmouth, which is around a 20-minute walk away. One day, we took the train from Teignmouth to Exeter, which was a great experience. Shaldon itself has friendly pubs, a superb café, and an excellent restaurant. The cottage is just a short stroll from the beach, where we frequently enjoyed walks along the shore. We also visited Shaldon Zoo and explored the Smuggler’s Tunnel. The area is mostly flat and very accessible, making it ideal for walking. Parking was not an issue for us in February, as we found a space just a few streets away. This is an excellent property with friendly and welcoming owners, perfectly situated to enjoy the charming village of Shaldon and beyond. Highly recommended!

  We have just returned from 6 nights at Teign Cottage and we loved every minute of our stay!

  The cottage was everything we expected & more. The location was perfect, just off the main road & so nice and peaceful, a view of the beach/sea from our front patio area, and an ideal position for exploring the local area. The pub close by was also handy! We paid £30 for a weeks parking pass at one of the local larger car parks, but managed to find parking even closer on the sea front, which was free. It can't be guaranteed and so paying for a pass is a good back-up plan. The inside of the cottage was spacious, homely and just what we wanted for our stay. We couldn't fault it. Myself, wife, 8 year old daughter and dog thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and owners Lesley & Jim were always on hand to help if we had any questions. We look forward to returning to Teign Cottage again one day soon!
