Halfway between Teignmouth and Dawlish, this converted coach house gets top marks for location. Stroll down Smuggler's Lane, and you'll be on the beach in five minutes – that's pretty hard to beat. Back home, the upside-down layout makes the most of the space, giving families and friends plenty of room to settle in. Our favourite feature is the two sun-kissed decks – perfect for morning coffees, alfresco lunches, and evening sundowners. You'll also be able to make use of the communal garden that boasts stunning sea views.

Arrive in Teignmouth by train to experience what is arguably the best coastal route in England. The Riviera Line clings to the coastline from Dawlish to Teignmouth, meaning endless sea views – look out for hardy souls braving the water of the English Channel.
