Shaldon, located in the picturesque South West of England, is an unspoiled seaside village on the Devon coast that boasts a vibrant community atmosphere. Unlike many commercialized towns in South Devon, Shaldon offers a serene village experience, making it an ideal destination for those seeking tranquility and a close-knit community. The characterful cottage available for rent features a blend of traditional charm and modern amenities, situated just a three-minute walk from the high street and the beach, making it a perfect retreat for couples or families alike.
The cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to create a welcoming space for guests. The downstairs area serves as a cozy social hub, complete with a living room that features a log-burning fire, perfect for unwinding after a day spent at the beach. The fully equipped kitchen, outfitted with modern appliances, allows guests to prepare meals at home. Upstairs, visitors will find two well-appointed bedrooms: one with a king-size bed and another that can be configured as a super king or twin beds, depending on preference. A small patio at the back provides a lovely spot for enjoying coffee in the sun.
Guests have full access to the entire cottage and are encouraged to make themselves at home. The location is conveniently close to local shops and the beach, with an option for off-street parking available for a small fee. Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the living area but are not allowed upstairs or to be left unattended, with a small additional cleaning fee applicable. This family-friendly environment ensures that both guests and their furry companions can enjoy their stay comfortably.
Shaldon Beach offers a variety of activities, including swimming, sailing, and rock pool exploration, while nearby beaches like Teignmouth and Ness Cove are also easily accessible via a historic smugglers' tunnel. The cottage is managed by Hopewell, who is available to assist guests throughout their stay. Cultural highlights in the area include the Pavilions Teignmouth and the Shaftesbury Theatre, alongside landmarks such as the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Andrew and Torre Abbey, making this vacation home an excellent base for exploring the rich offerings of the region.
