the Perfect South Devon Getaway
This property is ideal for outdoor and nature lovers as it is located in Stokeinteignhead, close to the Teign Estuary.
This delightful thatched terraced holiday cottage nestles in the pretty village of Stokeinteignhead, a hidden gem. Stokeinteignhead is a chocolate-box thatched village nestled in a sheltered valley near the sea in south Devon.
Just over 1 mile from the beaches at Shaldon and Maidencombe, the property is spacious and has been furnished and decorated to a very good standard. There is a sunny courtyard area, with table and chairs perfect for al fresco dining. The local pub, dating back to the 17th century, is a 2-minute walk from the cottage and serves good food and real ales.
There are many walks from the cottage including the South West Coastal Path and along the Teign Estuary, a great place for bird watching and nature lovers. Nearby Shaldon – situated at the mouth of the Teign Estuary on the edge of the English Riviera and Torbay – is an idyllic little fishing village with quaint cottages and narrow winding streets.

“Super cottage with every thing you could possibly need for a relaxing holiday. Close to Shaldon and the sea and good restaurants particularly the Crab Shack in Teignmouth. Would heartily recommend it.”
