We stayed in this beautiful cottage over Christmas 2025. When we arrived and stepped through the door, it was warm, cosy and had been tastefully decorated for Christmas. The beds were super comfy with quality pillows and bed linen and everyone had a good nights sleep in all three bedrooms. The location is excellent and we loved being able to walk eRead moreverywhere, with plenty of places open even though it was winter, local people were also very friendly. We were out every day visiting family and walking along the stunning coastline, however, we did love coming back to the cottage, it was like having a warm hug as we came through the door. Hide

Lovely cottage in the heart of beautiful Shaldon. Great location with plenty of space. Although parking is always a challenge in the heart of the village - the Ness car park is convenient and not expensive. A range of options for eating in Shaldon plus lots of choice in Teignmouth accessible by ferry during the day or a nice walk back or the taxis Read morevery reasonable later on in the day. Recommendations include the Blue Hut, Lobster Lounge and Crab Shack plus Ship for drinks. Hide

Comfortable accommodation in a very convenient location make this a good choice for staying local or exploring further afield. A few features in the cottage could do with a refresh, but they don't take away from the overall quality of the stay.

We arrived to a beautiful clean cottage right in the heart of Shaldon with the added bonus of the beach being right on the doorstep! Sea Dream cottage is very well equipped for all your needs. The kitchen is modern with lots of crockery & utensils, everything you need & more! The living room is cosy with wooden beams, lots of seating and a woodRead more burning stove. There is also a lovely window seat where you can sit and watch people passing by. Being close to the Clipper Cafe we were able to have fresh croissants & coffee most mornings! The courtyard garden was lovely, our little dog felt very safe. The information folder was very useful too, the owners have thought of everything you need to know. Shaldon can be extremely busy but we were very lucky with parking, being able to park next to the cottage was an added bonus. One thing to note, due to the age of the cottage some of the floors upstairs are uneven, especially the bathroom but this is to be excepted and adds to the charm. Overall we had a lovely stay at Sea Dream cottage it has a very homely atmosphere. Hide

The best thing about this cottage is that it is in Shaldon! It is also in a wonderful location for everything in the village. There is adequate outdoor space at the cottage to hang out wet things and rinse off muddy boots. Plenty of space downstairs. Might be worth taking an extra towel if you want more than one for the whole week. Good kitchen forRead more cooking and everything you could possibly need for a week, all listed on the website. Very quiet even though on the road. Hide

Great location - prefect for dog walks on Ness beach, close to pubs and nice places to eat and superb base to explore South Devon. Cosy cottage, comfy beds, quiet at night despite central location, well equipped - great welcome pack. Some cleanliness issues but nothing major, beds and towels lovely and clean.
