The property's proximity to the town, beach, and amenities is frequently highlighted, along with the thoughtful inclusion of games and entertainment options. Some concerns over cleanliness and maintenance are noted, but overall, guests have had enjoyable stays and would recommend the property.
Cleanliness
Most guests found the property to be comfortable and well-presented, though there were some reports of cleanliness issues, such as dust and a musty smell. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
Location
The property's location is highly commended for being close to the town, beach, and local amenities, with many guests appreciating the short walks to various attractions. The lack of on-site parking is noted, but nearby parking solutions are available.
Comfort
Guests consistently mention the property's spaciousness and the provision of multiple rooms and facilities that cater to both adults and children, contributing to a comfortable stay. Some minor issues with maintenance are mentioned but do not significantly detract from overall comfort.
Facilities
The house is well-equipped with appliances, entertainment options, and child-friendly amenities like stair gates and a playroom. Some guests reported minor maintenance issues, such as a problematic extractor fan and TV, but these are balanced by the overall positive feedback on the facilities provided.
Thoughtfulness
The inclusion of games, books, and entertainment facilities reflects a high level of thoughtfulness for guests' needs. While no specific gifts are mentioned, the attention to detail in providing a family-friendly environment is evident. It should be noted that such personal touches are subject to change and may not be guaranteed.
About this property
A three-storey detached house in a quiet residential street in the Devon coastal town of Teignmouth. This family-sized Teignmouth cottage has been well-restored from its original Victorian style, to provide comfortable holiday accommodation with three bathrooms and four bedrooms. The main sitting room on the ground floor of this Teignmouth cottage has an archway leading to the dining room, ideal for family suppers, and there is a second spacious sitting room on the first floor, ideal as a children's playroom, complete with wall-mounted TV. It is a ten minute walk from this Teignmouth cottage to the traditional pier and seafront, and there are plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants in this busy seaside town. There are many family activities available from this Teignmouth cottage as well, including an outdoor swimming pool, skate park, adventure golf and two miles of sandy beaches. Wander along the splendid promenade to the working port on the river side of town, and there will always be plenty of ships coming and going in this fast-flowing estuary current. Looking across the River Teign you see the charming small Regency town of Shaldon, home to the Shaldon Wildlife Trust's breeding centre for rare mammals, and the well-known beach at Ness Cove, reached through a genuine smugglers' tunnel. Along the coast from this Teignmouth cottage is the English Riviera, with its micro-climate, tall palm trees, well laid-out municipal gardens and large promenade, lined with ice cream shops and cafes. Torquay is the birthplace of Agatha Christie and so there are plenty of historic reminders of the author; Torquay also provided the inspiration for the classic British comedy Fawlty Towers. Paignton, which has a fabulous zoo and a steam train taking you to the River Dart, is another day's outing, along Torbay. Families will find plenty of fun whilst staying at this lovely Teignmouth cottage.
Teignmouth in South Devon offers plenty to see and do including a lovely sandy beach, working harbour, a Victorian pier, water play park, mini golf and a bowling green. The breathtaking Dartmoor National Park is a walkers haven, plus the city of Exeter is close by. There are delightful harbour towns nearby such as Brixham, and the zoo at Paignton is well worth exploring.
