In the picturesque village of Shaldon, this cottage is located just a stone's throw from the River Teign and the local seaside pub, alongside an array of nature trails and walking routes. In keeping with its coastal setting, the home's beachy aesthetic reminds you of your proximity to the sea and the waterside walks available from your front doorstep. When you're not soaking up the surrounding nature or the shops and eateries of Shaldon's centre, the cottage presents an inviting space to relax. From the library of books and games selection to the wood-burner fireplace and patio seating area, it's the home's finishing touches that make for a memorable stay.
