Shaldon Cottage

About this property

Just metres from the seafront, Shaldon Cottage is a perfect paradise for a large group of friends or family looking for a luxury getaway to the coast!

As you step inside, appreciate the timeless beauty of the New England style interior design, and the calming colours throughout. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the bright and airy open-plan kitchen and dining room, with a full wall of windows, a bonus skylight ceiling and a dazzling contemporary design. A De Longhi Dolce-Gusto coffee machine and a vast American fridge freezer with an ice dispenser will ensure you have everything you need for your enjoyable stay here, with a large central island for getting plenty of chefs involved! The large dining table, with eight cane dining chairs is the perfect setting for lively meal times, while the living space sees a cosy arrangement of sofas and chairs beside the wood-burner, great for the cooler months.

There are four delightful bedrooms, with the wonderful master bedroom occupying the whole of the second floor, complete with an ensuite bathroom with a luxurious standalone bathtub! And on the first-floor there are two double rooms, one with a king-size bed, and one with a double bed, as well as a twin room, all of which share a large family bathroom with a second enormous free-standing bathtub. All rooms are equipped with a TV, DVD player and hairdryer.

And finally, step out through your large French doors and into your charming private courtyard, ideal for soaking up the sunshine, enjoying a moment of tranquillity and sharing some quality time in the fresh air. With alfresco dining and a vibrant, colourful garden, you have an ideal hub for activity.

You’re perfectly located in this quaint village to enjoy a range of boutique shops and cafes, restaurants and country pubs, with the famous beach huts on Shaldon’s seashore just a short walk away. For a dramatic day in nature visit the Shaldon Cliffs, the local Zoo and the Teignmouth Circular walking route – and for a city-break, you’re less than half an hour from the vibrant streets (above and below ground!) of Exeter!

Enjoy the warm, welcoming and easy-going folk of the West Country, and the endless sandy beaches, fossil cliffs, medieval towns and national parks of Devon, a truly unmissable county!

For a perfect day in the fresh air and sunshine, Exmoor National Park and the 954km2 Dartmoor National Park, with their endless rugged moorland, woodland, farmlands and valleys sprinkled with granite tors are ideal for walking, horse riding, mountain biking, climbing and much more! The magnificent Jurassic Coast, comprising 95 miles of coastline with 185 million years of geological history is well worth a visit, with the South West Coast Path running along a large section of it.

If you’re after a traditional English beach trip with the added delight of white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and world-class sailing and surfing, you will not be disappointed! Devon has two separate coastlines: to the south is the English Channel and to the north, the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel.

The sublime English Riviera, a series of picturesque, south-coast harbour towns, is the nickname of the magnificent southern coastline. Torquay is one of the main highlights: a delightful seaside resort town well known for its beaches such as Babbacombe and the cliffside Oddicombe. Torquay Harbour offers shops, cafes and a marina, while the nearby Torre Abbey, a monastery founded in 1196, has art galleries and extensive gardens. The smaller seaside town of Ilfracombe can be found on the northern coastline, and is a small, hilly harbour surrounded by cliffs.

And for a lively city, to the south-east is Exeter on the River Exe, with its Roman era City Walls, vaulted, medieval underground passages and stunning Gothic cathedral, built in the 12th-century. To the west of the county you’ll find the larger city of Plymouth, with a fine display of its maritime tradition in the Barbican’s Tudor and Jacobean buildings and Sutton Harbour’s heritage trail. Both cities have bustling high-streets and lively nightlife thanks to the sizeable student populations!

Notable events in the area include the Devon County Show in Exeter each May, the Dartmouth Royal Regatta in August and the British Firework Championships in Plymouth also in August. 

If flying to the area, Exeter International operates flights between Paris CDG, Amsterdam and countless UK cities, and the nearby Bristol International Airport has nearly 80 destinations
