We had a really lovely stay at the property. Shaldon is wonderful. Property is within walking distance of the beach and local amenities (including the ferry across to Teignmouth). The property was well equipped with everything we needed for a long weekend. Overall we’ve had a wonderful time, peaceful and calm and managed to switch off from it all. Thank you!
Good location in quaint seaside village. Good local restaurants and easy access to Teignmouth and other parts of Devon.
We didn't need a car and the kids and my elderly mother loved being able to walk to shops, cafes and beach.

We really enjoyed our stay and will be returning. Very convenient for the beach and the property is even roomier than it seems from the photos. Our only niggle was that the expelair in the bathroom was very noisy. Would recommend.
the house is in the main part of town so busy but good for walking and sightseeing, cumfortable house with everythink we needed

We stayed for 4 months over the winter period, and enjoyed every minute of it. The accommodation is well located in the village of Shaldon, close to the local amenities, and the sandy beach. Everything you need in the house to make your stay comfortable.

Many thanks for review Miranda, we like to know if the cottage is satisfactory for our guests needs and reviews always are very welcome.
Kind regards,

Excellent property and very nice decor. Location was fabulous. Only downside was the parking which we were made aware of prior to arrival. Would be nice if you could buy a permit for your stay, although we didn't see a traffic warden it was always on the back of your mind.

Great holiday in shaldon
Unfortunately there was a mix up regarding our arrival.
The cottage wasn't ready for us and sadly beds not made or cottage clean.
However the host soon sorted this and the cottage was cleaned the following day. The host was very apologetic and compensated us!
Despite the mix up we had a fantastic holiday and would definitely return.It was an innocent mistake and feel sure it was a one off!
The cottage was warm and comfortable. It was well equipped and in a great location.
We can't wait to visit again..
This is the second time we've stayed at this property - just as comfortable and relaxing as we remember. Shaldon is a very friendly, easy place. Hopefully we'll be back again!
We had gorgeous weather, and this cottage was perfect for getting out and about on the SW Coast Path and Dartmoor. Also lovely to be able to pop down to the harbour of an evening (literally 2 minutes away). I think the cottage may feel a bit small if the weather stopped you getting out.
The kitchen was perfectly adequate, although frying pans could do with replacing. Everything was cleaned beautifully,
The beds were very comfortable. The settee not as much!
We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it as a base for getting out and about. The welcoming wine bottles were also gratefully received. Thank you.
The house is delightful, well arranged and equipped. We loved being so near the estuary and the sea; as well as the village green and bowls. The village is very well served by all sorts of amenities, and we would definitely consider coming here again. Weather was good too, and we loved the passenger ferry across to Teignmouth. Thank you to John and Kathy!

Enjoyable stay at cottage for a week. Lovely home from home for our stay. Plenty of places to eat and drink within walking distance and a short ferry ride to Teignmouth gives even more options. Well situated and plenty to explore without even moving the car I.e zoo, botanical gardens, Teignmouth town and beach. Ness cove beautiful and great for paddle boarding.

Thanks Samantha, really pleased you enjoyed your stay.

Checked in with no issues. Nice clean and tidy property. Wi-Fi very good, bed very comfortable, good cooking facilities and in a great location. The London Inn is very close by and will serve drinks on the village green if the outside tables are full. Food there is excellent and good Covid measures. Parking is restricted in the village but the car park at the Ness is cheap enough and we had no issues parking there overnight a few times when the spaces around the village green were all taken. It’s a lovely spot and we really enjoyed our week there.
We travel to Devon yearly and we have never stayed in Shaldon before
It’s a lovely little village on the coast with all the amenities you need
Need a little patience though to find parking but overall a great holiday
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cosy cottage it had everything you could wish for hope to return next year thank you home away and John and Kathy

About the host
Hosted by JOHN BINGHAM
We are private owners of a unique property which we originally bought to enjoy a seaside break in a quiet location.
We love coming down to Shaldon, but we are still both working and run our own architectural and surveying practice where we live in Woking, Surrey and therefore have not used the Cottage as much as we would like. However, we still set aside some weeks in the holiday season for our own enjoyment which we hope others will share.
Why they chose this property
Shaldon is a quaint welcoming village which seems in a time warp and offers the opportunity for a quiet and relaxing Holiday. Shaldon is one of those old fashioned communities where the locals say good morning and life continues at Its own pace.
Historically the property was the local greengrocers, but was recently purchased and developed by a local builder and extended from a single storey shop Into a double storey cottage. The first floor and roof are an extension erected in 2011/12 and the windows, fabric and services within the property are all newly renovated and installed in 2012. We have made several alterations to maximise the accommodation and furnished the cottage for our own enjoyment.
What makes this property unique
The Cottage has level access and is quite unique which is apparent from when you first open the front door to reveal the layout and unusual stainless steel and plate glass balustrade.
The rear patio/terrace is secluded where you can enjoy breakfast or an evening supper and glass of wine for a quiet evening in or a short walk to sample the many pubs and restaurants nearby within easy level walking distance.
