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.
