Location was excellent. Parking was ok in the long stay car park just around the corner. We would like to book again for next year.

It was in a great location and very comfortable. It has everything youâd need - the only thing Iâd change is the bin to a pedal bin! Also had a great welcome pack - thank you for a great stay

Central to the shops and amenities, the promenade and sea are literally 50 yards away. There is plenty of car parking around also. The ground floor, dog friendly apartment presented as modern throughout and exceptionally clean. The shower is very good and powerful, the bed is very comfortable. I found the host to be easily contacted and extremely helpful, he came within the hour to sort a couple of teething problems for us. I Would highly recommend the apartment for a stay in Devon. Teignmouth is lovely, has lots of dog friendly pubs and cafes and people are friendly. Unfortunately for us the weather wasnât kind which put a little damper on our break away.
