You can walk almost everywhere in Teignmouth from here, including the promenade, the pier, and a plethora of pubs. The beach is also within easy reach, along with the train station, so this apartment is perfect if you’d prefer not to drive. There’s a bar in the living room for cocktails at home and a kitchen that’s handy for mealtimes – although make sure you don’t miss seaside fish and chips. Beyond the town, Devon’s stunning coast and countryside await, providing plenty more to see and do during your stay.
