About this property
A 5* beach hut bolthole!
Escape to the South Devon coast and stay in this stunning one-bedroom beach hut, the perfect romantic bolthole. Located right on the beachfront and nestled within the idyllic fishing village of Shaldon, you'll enjoy seaside nostalgia with modern home comforts. Explore the winding streets of the village, less than 0.5 miles away, then head back to the hut to dine alfresco on the patio before enjoying the private beach access for a sunset stroll.
Step inside and be greeted by a nautical-themed open-plan living space, complete with a sofa, breakfast table and stools, and a Smart TV. The galley kitchen is equipped with all the appliances you need for catering, complemented by luxury granite worktops. A spacious tiled bathroom is next to the kitchen. Climb the quirky sliding ladder to the intimate mezzanine bedroom, featuring a king-size futon, illuminated by spotlights along the wooden-clad ceiling. Enjoy the best views of the seafront from the rear of the beach hut, which opens out onto a private paved terrace, enclosed by a traditional coastal stone wall. The outdoor dining set provides the perfect spot to dine alfresco, with private ladder access leading straight onto the beach.
The idyllic fishing village of Shaldon is situated at the mouth of the Teign Estuary on the edge of the English Riviera.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at the beach hut and enjoyed watching the world go by… we were sorry to leave and will hopefully return again next year.

We stayed here for NYE. The hut was clean and cosy, with an outside area overlooking the beach. The mattress and pillows were really comfortable. I would say that if you are planning Christmas new years you book the pubs as they were very busy and you could only go in for a drink if there was a table free or you booked. We walked to Teignmouth which took about 20 minutes. There are lots of pubs and places to eat there. Our New Year's eve was very cosy and we would highly recommend.
