About this property
Set in the tranquil Teign Valley, Teign Vale makes the most of its position, with a staggering 16 metres of bi-fold doors opening out to a tiled balcony overlooking the beautiful river.
Teign Vale is a beautifully renovated holiday cottage, nestled in the picturesque woodlands of the Teign Valley. The accommodation is all on one level with no internal steps or lips.
A modern and attractive tiled balcony looks out over the river, woods and landscape, the perfect place for spotting birds and wildlife – deer regularly track from the river to the woods. The river is also home to salmon, trout and a family of otters; and there is half a mile of fishing bank.
Inside the property en-suite bedrooms with super-king size beds, two of which can be configured as twin singles beds on request. All the rooms have bi-folding doors that open out onto the balcony, so you could open them all open to create a unique outdoor/indoor space. The large, lawned and level garden is around an acre in size and is the perfect place for children – or adults! – to run around. There’s also a barbecue and fire pit in the garden, along with a separate games barn with a pool table, fridge, dart board and television, perfect for teenagers to escape to.
If you’ve come here for the scenery, there are walks through the woods right from the door; and you can wash off those muddy boots – or dogs – in the Belfast sink with running hot and cold water at the side of the property.
Additional Information:
Within walking distance via the woods to Fringle pub and Castle Drogo.
Beautiful woodland walk along the river bank and through the seasonal flowers of bluebells and daffodils.
Games room with fridge, pool table, dart board (please bring your own darts), television and comfy chairs.
Please bring your own darts for the dartboard.
The property is located close to a river so children should be supervised.
Due to neighbouring livestock, fireworks are not permitted at any time of year please.
Two well-behaved dogs welcome (small additional charge).
Highchair, travel cot and stair gate available on request.

This property is far and beyond the best holiday cottage we have stayed at with Rural Retreats and we have visited many great retreats in the past years. Everything encompassed in one holiday break from a fantastic comfortable cottage with surrounding views to die for. The cottage owners and their team really went the extra mile to make our stay a memorable one. The location is really convenient to explore either coastal scenery or inland to the moors. A real hidden gem!
