If you’re craving a laid-back seaside break, head to this charming and welcoming cottage with your four-legged companions and up to three other human guests. It’s perfectly sized for a small family or a couple who are dog parents with an array of seafood restaurants, coastal walks and beaches within 500 metres of your front door.
As you approach this property you’ll be won over by its endearing exterior – as it’s a classic seaside cottage on a row of pastel-hued houses. The living area is bright and homely with elegant drapes, comfortable sofas, large windows and a dining table with seating for four. Continue into the compact but well-organised kitchen with all the appliances you need to cook up a special meal for your loved ones. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor where you’ll find a family bathroom, double bedroom and a den-like kid’s room with bunk beds. Outside is a patio with furniture which overlooks the village green.
Stay in the heart of Shaldon, which is a pretty fishing village with winding narrow streets which will take you to a botanical gardens (less than 0.5 miles), a golf course (1 mile) and a canine-welcoming beach (0.5 miles). There is also a bridge that takes you over the River Teign to Teignmouth (1.5 miles). From Ness Cove (0.5 miles) you can follow the South West Coast Path to eight different coves, all within 2.5 miles. There is also the RSPB Labrador Bay nature reserve 1.5 miles away.
