Nestled in the bustling centre and arts quarter of this historic seaside town of Teignmouth, Devon, is this delightful two-bedroom cottage, Quayside Cottage. Taking its name from its exceptional location just moments away from the vibrant quayside and beautiful beaches, Quayside Cottage is the perfect dwelling for couples or a family of four seeking an escape to the coast.
Step into the light and airy open-plan living space, where you can look forward to impressing your loved ones with tasty dishes prepared in the well-equipped kitchen ready to enjoy at the dining table for four. On warmer days, why not dine alfresco out in the rear enclosed courtyard as you savour the last of the day’s rays? After dinner, retire to the sitting room where you can curl up on the plush seating and enjoy a family favourite on the flat screen TV with DVD player.
After a day at the beach, freshen up in the well-appointed shower room, before choosing from one of two beautifully decorated bedrooms, a double and a twin with views over the courtyard, both decorated in soothing tones and with plenty of storage for your belongings. Explore your surroundings, where you will find an excellent variety of pubs and restaurants, including The Owl and Pussycat serving traditional British cuisine, L’Invidia Ristorante & Pizzeria for Italian or the Crab Shack and Lobster Lounge for fresh seafood.
Pack up your bathing suits, swimming trunks and towels and head straight for Teignmouth Beach, where you can bathe, paddle the shores, try your hand at watersports or hire a boat to take to the waters of the River Teign. Wander along the grand 18th-century pier as you soak up beautiful views on offer, explore the Teignmouth Arts Quarter, delve into history at the Teign Heritage Centre, embark on a sea safari from the quay or brush up on your watersports at the Sea Sports Academy.
Catch the ferry over to Shaldon, home to its own glorious beach, a remarkable castle surrounded by vibrant botanical gardens, an excellent golf course and the delightful Shaldon Wildlife Trust. Keen walkers and cyclists can easily access the famous South West Coast Path, where you can expect some of the best sights and scenery in the area.
For a taste of city life, take the drive over to Exeter, where you can enjoy wildlife rich walks through the Barley Nature Reserve, marvel at the impressive Exeter Cathedral or explore the Underground Passages. For more superb walking and cycling opportunities, venture into the Dartmoor National Park, where you can wander through forests, hike up tors or visit a wealth of National Trust sites within its vicinity.
