Courtyard

All cosied up on a quiet country lane just a short amble from the quaint village centre, this wonderful little cottage welcomes all to sample British country life in all its glory. 

With its wonderful white–washed facade, aged windows and brown front door with shrubs to either side, from the outside, this home is a picture–perfect haven steeped in rural charm. A backdrop of sprawling, perfectly–manicured lawns and verdant trees make the setting all the more picturesque, meanwhile the lovely little garden area serves up the ideal spot to privately soak up the sparkling Devonshire rays.

The outside of this home is enough to tug on our heartstrings, but as we meander our way from room to room, we can't help but become more enamoured with the place. Cute and cosy with a winning mixture of classic and contemporary touches, we love the fact that in spite of some of its more modern updates, the home has retained all of its classic charm. The natural wooden doors instantly add to that warm, welcoming appeal, meanwhile the addition of skylight windows invite the sunlight to stream its way inside.

Each and every nook and cranny tells its own unique story, but if you ask us, the real heart of this home is the living area. With a traditional log burner at its centre and leather sofa just waiting to be sunk into, we can already see ourselves curling up here as dusk settles with a large glass of red and some rich chocolate truffles – heaven!

Sitting pretty in the heart of Shaldon, this spacious cottage is everything we want from a place at the seaside. Step inside to laidback styling and countryside charm; the neutral colour scheme, sumptuous furnishings and quiet bedrooms are instantly welcoming. Start your mornings with rounds of buttery toast at the dining table before finishing the last of your coffee on the sun-trap terrace. 

Take a moment to relax with a good book in the cosy living space and when it’s time to explore, slip on your sandals and take the seventeen-minute walk to Ness Cove Beach, accessed via the intriguingly-named Smugglers Tunnel. If you’d like to explore a little further afield, jump in the car and drive for six minutes to Teignmouth – stroll along the promenade or try your hand at kayaking, coasteering or paddle boarding. When the day draws to a close, reflect on your adventures with a gin and tonic in the London Inn, no more than a five-minute saunter from your doorstep. 

Coastal Reprise

Sitting on the banks of the River Teign estuary, Shaldon is a town with a rich history of relaxation. A popular bathing spot, its coastal location is a wonderful place to replenish your mind and body, and its annual regatta is another reason to stick around. This cute cottage is set just one mile from Ness Cove Beach, but you've also got the river on your doorstep – water, water is truly everywhere. 

Authentic and original, this home is every bit the coastal abode you’d expect from Devon. We love the white painted exterior, shuttered windows, and a patio out front complete with a colourful parasol. While you might be spending a fair bit of time out here with your morning coffee, or evening tipple, you’ll also love the delights of the interiors.

The living space feels homely and inviting from the offset. Creams and beiges are reminiscent of the sands on the shore, while chunky timber beams and supports bring a rustic warmth to the lounge. You’ll love cuddling up on the plump sofas by the fire with a cuppa, just as much as you’ll love eating fresh local fish for dinner on the dining table. Surfing can wait until tomorrow morning. 

Regatta Afternoons

You'll realise why this one's so special when you make your way up the private driveway and approach this modern home set on a hillside overlooking the Teign River. With five bedrooms, all with stunning views of the ever-changing landscape, and one which is best suited for children, this is the perfect home for an extended family or a group of friends with children, looking to spend a few relaxing days on the Devonshire coast.  While you're here, let the kids run around and play in the huge, landscaped garden, while the adults enjoy a drink on the terrace or a soak in the hot tub. If you ask us, that sounds like a pretty comforting holiday for the entire family. 

Fluvius

Situated in the village of Bishopsteignton, this home welcomes all the family – including four-legged members. In the garden, there’s a sheltered area for dining and a hot tub for relaxing after a day at the seaside. Head inside, and you’ll find table football to keep everyone occupied on grey days. Just so you know, at capacity, the snug doubles as a bedroom and two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. Ready to hit the beach? Teignmouth is a ten-minute drive away.

Sitting pretty on the coast between Teignmouth and Dawlish, Teatime & Billiards is a relaxing retreat that's best suited for a large family or group of friends. Recently refurbished and lovingly restored, the interiors of this Grade II listed cottage leave a lasting impression. You’ll find soft textures and a log-burning fire in the living space, characterful bedrooms with superbly comfortable beds, a well-equipped kitchen for those itching to try out some new recipes, and our favourite part – the games room. Play on the Xbox, work on a puzzle or challenge your loved ones to a table skittles tournament. When the sun’s out, spill onto the patio for sizzling barbecues and ice-cold drinks, or relax in the hot tub as the evening rolls in. Slap on your sun cream and take the five-minute walk to Holcombe Beach for a quiet afternoon by the sea. And when you’re in the mood for a little more adventure, Teignmouth with its Victorian pier, crazy golf and quaint boat trips to Shaldon Beach is a five-minute drive away.

Devon is brimming with natural beauty and this home makes the perfect setting to explore its stunning coastline. After a day full of fresh sea air, you’ll love the feeling of coming home to relax in this stylish space. 

The Love Note

Lift Access

Boasting sea views out towards Shaldon and across the Teign estuary, this apartment is an ideal base for a coastal retreat. Situated next to the West Coast railway, you’ll hear some train noise throughout the day – that said, the balcony’s a great spot for watching the steam trains that pass through during spring and summer. There’s an on-site fitness room for those keen to keep up with their exercise routine, but for us, this home’s all about the location. With Back beach less than five minutes away on foot and Teignmouth's vibrant bars and eateries within easy reach, you’re well-placed to enjoy all that this stretch of Devon has to offer.

Although the classic sitcom Fawlty Towers gave the impression that accommodation in Torquay left much to be desired, this majestic townhouse completely dispels that notion. 

Having been renovated in 2022, the design brings together boldly patterned wallpaper, a smattering of antique furnishings, some well-chosen pieces of artwork and tufted furnishings to create an interior that feels traditional but far from stale. The bright blue tiling in the bathroom is rather fetching, too

It must be said that the standout features are found in the garden, which is filled with flowers during the warmer months. As well as offering plenty of seating out on the terrace, there's also a hot tub in which you can pass summer evenings.

If the weather gods are smiling down upon you during your stay, the shingle beach at Anstey's Cove can be reached in under fifteen minutes, while Babbacombe Beach takes ten minutes more than that. The Kent Cavern caves are only eight minutes away on foot, too.


A Pocket Full of Rye

Upon the English Riviera, staying in the warm climate of the sophisticated town of Torquay feels like the equivalent of Cannes. Hop off a yacht at Torquay Marina and take an eighteen-minute stroll to this fabulous apartment, fit for any VIP. Upon arrival, your host will have a bottle of wine waiting for you. Before you even start exploring this modern flat, pour yourself a glass and say cheers to the start of the holiday. Do you like a home with a view? Because this one offers several. From its many large windows, you can spot the bay, beaches, harbours, the marina, and of course the big blue sea itself. On a sunny day, we recommend taking a bowl of olives and a chilled prosecco out to the private balcony – pop up the parasol if it gets too hot. Indoors, pristine white and cream interiors make the space feel fresh, with a mint-green sofa which you can sink into after a long day of beachside activities. South Devon might feel distinctly Mediterranean, but you’ll certainly enjoy ending the day with a refreshing cup of Earl Grey.

Take your pick between the two lounges – both adorned with sumptuous seating and overlooking the grounds – or strike up a billiards competition in the games room. There’s even a gym to keep on top of your workouts. Keen to explore further afield? You'll be a short walk from the town's seafront promenade, sandy beaches, shops, and eateries.

This fantastic Victorian villa in the English Riviera is the perfect home for family holidays. Located in Paignton, this home is only a short walk from many great activities including Paignton Beach – a nineteen-minute walk away – where you will find the pier, the Geopark, a fairy cove, pirates bay adventure golf, and even a multiplex cinema perfect for those typical rainy British days. What’s more, Splashdown water park is a short nine-minute walk away and Torbay Leisure Centre – with its pool, gym and squash courts – is reachable in twelve minutes on foot.

Your little ones will love letting off steam in the home’s large, enclosed garden too, with the kid's swing, trampoline, treehouse, football goal and pirate boat. Meanwhile, you can relax on the garden bench with a good book or enjoy an afternoon Devonshire cream tea alfresco at the outdoor dining area. 

When it’s time to come indoors, head from the decked veranda through the French doors into the living space. Curl up on the sofa to watch a family film and even make it cosier with the wood-burning stove, which can be lit for additional warmth or roasting marshmallows. Your little ones hopefully won’t object to bedtime with the twin rooms one of which is Star Wars-themed and the other which features a dollhouse mounted on the wall and a whimsical fairy wall hanging to decorate. We can’t promise they’ll want to stop playing and go to sleep though. 

The Peacock's Feathered Plume

This chic apartment not only boasts tranquil views of the English Channel, but it’s also within 250 metres of Torquay Beach. Inside, the place is fresh and funky – we loved the pastel pink furnishings and bold accent walls. After a restful sleep in the comfortable beds, rustle up a full English in the sleek kitchen or pick up some freshly baked pastries from the coffee shop opposite your building. Soak up the warm sunshine on the terrace before slipping on your sandals and strolling along the South West Coast Path. 

When lunchtime rolls around, head into the heart of Torquay, around a ten-minute walk away, to sample the independent eateries. If you fancy swapping the seaside for the country, Dartmoor National Park is less than an hour’s drive from your building. 

Ambient Works

It’s all about the seafront location here – just moments from the sands of Torquay Beach this minimal apartment provides an ocean view from your private balcony. There’s a simple but well-equipped kitchen here, though with a promenade and seafood restaurants at your fingertips, you can make the most of the waterfront dining. Keep in mind there are some stairs to climb here, and the second bedroom lacks some natural light, but it’s perfectly comfortable for a coastal stay.

Breezy Bay Retreat

Secured Parking

For a taste of the Med upon British shores, there’s no place quite like the English Riviera. One of its fabulous waterside towns is Torquay, a haven for foodies, sun worshippers, and surfers alike. Just a mile inland from its bustling marina, and around a ten-minute walk from Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, you’ll be delighted to call this peaceful mews home.

From the outside, the honey-coloured stonework and floral window boxes create a picture-perfect scene. Quaint and delicate, the unassuming, homely vibe continues indoors. Kick off your walking boots, or peel off your wetsuit – whatever you’ve been up to in the day, this house is the place to relax and recline.

Honeycomb Wafer

There’s no doubt you’ll be dazzled by this spectacular apartment the moment you step through the front door – the views of the sea alone are enough to wow anyone. But then there’s the gorgeously decorated, luxurious interior, which makes this sea-facing pad a truly rare gem. 

Nestled in the idyllic town of Torquay, this is a dream base for a coastal getaway, especially if you’re here on a romantic holiday. Inside, you’ll find a stunning living room, with those huge windows letting in streams of natural light and offering unmatched vistas. We love the sleek, modern décor and the plush furnishings, inviting you to make yourself right at home and relax after a day of coastal exploring. 

While there’s no shortage of excellent dining options in the area, you may also opt for rustling up something delicious in the well-equipped kitchen, in which case the stylish island and stools will provide the perfect setting for a romantic supper. 

Enjoy a night of restful sleep in the plush bedroom, but not before an indulgent bubble bath in the spa-like bathroom. In the morning, you’ll wake up restored and ready for another day in sunny Devon. 

With A View Like That 

Named after the beautiful blue waters that this apartment overlooks, this coastal getaway couldn’t be better placed to explore all of Torquay’s scenery and attractions. Take in the sweeping view of the sea and boat-lined harbour from the light-filled living area. 

For a leisurely approach, you can also watch the sea wake up from the master bedroom. When you've awoken from your slumber, we suggest enjoying alfresco meals overlooking the bay on the terrace. 

If you can drag yourself away for some activity, you’re perfectly located for venturing further afield. Whether it’s to the award-winning restaurants on the doorstep or the vast selection of outdoor activities, you’ll have plenty to keep you busy. 

You’ll also have access to the residence’s communal gardens, along with easy access to Rock Walk in the Royal Terrace Gardens. Back at home, the relaxing interior, with a calming nautical tone, offers the ideal spot for a bit of downtime with the family.

Everyone loves a home with a story, and this former coastguard's cottage overlooking Torbay must have many. It's been standing here on the clifftop since the 18th Century, just steps from the seven-acre nature reserve of Daddyhole Plain. Complete with the old 'coastguard hammer', once used to wake the men when needed at sea, it's been through a careful and stylish renovation lately – resulting in a stunning home in a knockout location.

Entering through the tile-floored lobby, you first come to the open-plan living and dining room. With modern, comfy furnishings, crisp white walls and a log burner, it's an absolute delight and flooded with natural light. A sleek, contemporary kitchen is perfectly practical for meals at home and you'll have a choice of outdoor spots to enjoy – a courtyard garden at the rear and a south-facing terrace at the front. Upstairs, the bedrooms are beautifully styled and some boast sea views.

Well-placed for exploring nearby Torquay and the English Riviera, it's perfect for families, and the ability to let them run loose just outside on the Plain is a god-send for those with young children. And keen walkers will love this location too – the South West Coast Path is just ahead of you.

Guardian of the Bay

Two buildings make up this family-sized home on the outskirts of Torquay. It’s a fifteen-minute walk from the town centre for all the seafood and sailing you can handle. Large families or groups of friends can spread out between two living rooms, two indoor kitchens and a basement chill-out room complete with arcade games, beanbags and a huge flatscreen TV. We love the long dining table in the conservatory, crowned with twisting vines. But it’s the outdoor space that drew us in, with a hot tub on the covered terrace, curtained lounge area and a full outdoor kitchen protected from the elements.  

Seaview Glory

Tucked away in South Devon’s rolling hills, this 200-year-old cottage is the perfect blend of period charm and modern upgrades. Together with a rustic touch, the home feels warm and welcoming and, alongside its close proximity to Teignmouth Beach, establishes it as an impressive base for families looking to explore the stunning coastline. 

Spend long summer days between the beach and the cottage where the generous backyard can accommodate impromptu games of football, a spur of the moment picnic, and, of course a good soak in the hot tub. Be sure to bring the fizz along, so you can truly sit back and unwind in the peace and quiet as you gaze out over the horizon. Bring nibbles out to enjoy with wine as you take advantage of the sunny garden from your seat on the L-shaped garden sofa. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a native hedgehog.

When you’re not eating at home, settled around the gorgeous farmhouse table, you can head out to the Crab Shack or any of the other surrounding eateries. Explore a hidden gem, Shaldon Beach, by hopping on a ferry from Teignmouth Back Beach, and watch a live band at Ship Inn on Queen Street.

After sundrenched days return home to curl up in front of the wood-burning stove with a glass of wine in hand. The Old Walls Vineyard, located just around the corner from this home, is worth a visit if you’re after a good vintage. Puzzle together or watch a movie and when you’re ready to retire, do yourself a favour and make one more stop outside – finish a cup of chamomile tea under the stars – you might hear some of the local owls hooting – and then take to the comfortable bed to recharge for the next day.

Rockinghorse Cottage

Parking On Street

The English Riviera provides the perfect opportunity to sail away on quintessential British seaside charm. And this home, perched above Torquay Harbour, invites you to pause, relax and experience the magic of Devon’s south coast.

From the mesmerising views across the coast to the snug furnishings and large terrace, every detail of this apartment inspires a wonderful sense of warmth and welcome. So whether you’re here for a quiet retreat or a sea-faring adventure, this is the kind of space that provides a constant sense of sanctuary. 

Set across one floor, the living room is perfectly designed for heartwarming evenings with a glass of wine by the fire, while the bedroom transports you to your own private cabin. And with the meditative sound of the waves in the distance, you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to explore. 

Stepping outside, days can be spent savouring the delights of the sea. From invigorating coastal walks and award-winning fish and chips to lingering drinks in cosy pubs, there’s everything you could need to soak up the abundant charm of Torquay and beyond. 

The Admiral

With sea views, a cosy balcony and space for four, this Teignmouth apartment is ideal for a family seeking a seaside stay. Sure, the second bedroom is a little cosy, but it has everything needed for a comfortable night’s rest and is a small price to pay for this home’s enviable location. With parking and EV charging here, leave the four wheels at home, wander to Teignmouth beach for a day soaking up the sun and sea, or enjoy a stroll along the Victorian Pier. 

Teignmouth Treat

Early / Late Check-Out Available

There's a more is more opulence about this postcard-pretty period cottage tucked away in the picturesque Kenn valley, near Exeter. 

Rustic beams, leather-clad storybook armchairs, and freshly cut flowers bring all the cottage feels you're chasing. While carefully currated antiques, hand-painted wallpapers, and oil paintings dials up the luxury.

Upstairs, you'll find three elegant bedrooms as beautiful as the next, with beautifully carved wooden headboards, swathes of quality textiles, and antique furniture sent from another glorious time. And don't get us going on that enclosed patio back downstairs with a delightful seating area prime for alfresco lunches and a hot tub in a private nook with twinkling lights. 

When thoughts turn to food and a glass of something crisp, lay the table for lavish suppers in the dining area or keep things casual, propped up at the kitchen's island. But if you don't fancy cooking, you'll be pleased to hear the village's 13th-century pub, to which this cottage belongs, is within stumbling distance. If this home is anything to go by, you'll be in for a treat.

More is More

Once upon a time this unique building was a working mill, but it has since been lovingly restored to create a cosy holiday cottage. The traditional thatched roof and stone walls are typical of Cockington – a historic village nestled in a tranquil wooded valley. Inside, you’ll find vaulted ceilings, wooden beam and plenty of space for a small family or few friends. The terrace is ideal for an alfresco breakfast before you head out to explore – after all, Cockington Country Park is right on your doorstep. The resort town of Torquay is under a mile away, where you’ll find bustling restaurants, sandy beaches and a variety of unique seaside attractions. Everything is easy here – your host will even provide you with a parking permit for some of the local beauty spots, and a delicious complimentary Devon cream tea to indulge in.

Thatch & Stone

Sitting just a short walk from Torquay Beach, this apartment boasts a stellar location. Though the interiors are fairly simple and it might feel a little cramped with four guests, it’s perfectly practical for a coastal stay. After a day strolling along the promenade or soaking up the sun on the beach, you’ll enjoy unwinding in the cosy living room with a glass of wine – though keep in mind the sofa bed will accommodate your third and fourth guests. From here, you’ll be able to enjoy the Torquay Seafront, seafood restaurants and watersports on offer, while boat trips can be taken from Torquay Harbour.

Torquay Tranquillity

If you want to feel the sea breeze in your hair then this home in Torquay – right on the English Riviera – is the one for you. It's situated just steps away from the harbour, so you don't have to go far to watch the boats bobbing in the water and hear the chatter of seagulls in the sky. Inside, you'll find a cosy space where you can kick back and relax between adventures, and we love the nautical blue and grey colour palette. The private balcony is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee as you make plans for the day – perhaps you'll discover the town's unique charms, with its Victorian pier and Ferris wheel. Or, take a drive along the coast to discover hidden beaches, beautiful walking trails and cosy country pubs to warm up in after your adventures. 

Devon Dreams

This delightful Devonshire home perches above Torquay’s iconic Rock Walk and enjoys sweeping views across the bay. Located within beautiful Victorian building, this superb apartment features a grand living room with stunning triple aspect sash windows from which to enjoy spectacular coast and sea views as well an amply equipped kitchen and stylish master bedroom.

You’ll love flinging open the French doors in the master bedroom and listening to the sound of the sea. Whip up home-cooked classics in the monochrome kitchen and dine alfresco on the beautiful balcony or à deux around the glass-topped table in the living room, all while admiring stunning sea views. Unwind with a glass of wine or cosy up on the lounge-worthy leather sofas in the living room for movie night.

Positioned within easy reach of all that Torbay has to offer, this heavenly home is just a few minutes’ walk from Torquay’s palm tree lined seafront and vibrant promenade. Why not spend the day at the beach before sample of many seafood restaurants either overlooking the marina or the town’s harbour?

This is a barn conversion in which the standard of the renovation has been of such quality that it's nigh-on impossible to picture its functional past. Set in twenty-six acres of Devon countryside, the building has been given some hi-tech features, including a ground-source heating system and an intelligent lighting system, as well as a lot of large glass windows that make the space a lot brighter than could be expected of an old barn. Our favourite space has to be the mezzanine lounge, reached via a glass spiral staircase and with a skylight on one side that's perfect for stargazing. The large kitchen looks the picture of modernity, but there's an Aga in place for a touch of rusticness. Stepping outside, there's a large patio area complete with an alfresco dining table, barbecue and fire pit, so you can sit out here on summer evenings and bask in the spectacular view of Longcombe Valley. The medieval town of Totnes can be reached in seven minutes in the car and offers plenty of quaint shops and restaurants to explore. Paignton Beach is a seventeen-minute drive away, too.
