房源位置

Our gorgeous cottage looks out over the River Teign and down towards the seaside town of Teignmouth. We are lucky to be in a semi rural location with countryside views and pretty villages such as Shaldon, Combeinteignhead and Stokeinteignhead nearby.
We are well located so you can explore all that Devon has to offer.

During your stay here, should you decide to venture from the cottage to explore more of this lovely part of Devon I have included some "hopefully" useful information.

If you fancy a walk from the cottage, at the top of the drive turn right, past the black barn on your right then take the next turning left. Approximately 1 mile (note, hilly off road track, advisable to wear water proof footwear/wellies if it’s been raining) this will lead you to Stokeinteignhead village, a really pretty, typical Devon village with thatched cottages, a church, village hall, community shop and a great pub called the Church House Inn(Traditional privately owned). It has a beer garden, serves food and is dog friendly.
Alternatively, if you prefer to drive, turn right at the top of the drive, after a few minutes you will reach Combeinteignhead, then take a left and drive for a further 5 minutes and you will be in Stokeinteignhead.
Alternatively why not head to Shaldon. Turn left at the top of the drive and there’s about a 20 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the village of Shaldon. (note, if your walking, there is no path until you get to the village).
Shaldon is another great place to visit. A pretty estuary village with a butchers, bakers, chemist, post office, convenience store, pubs, cafes, beaches and even it’s own zoo! A must place to visit.
Turn right at the top of the drive, Less than 5 minutes drive is Combeinteignhead. A small village with a church, village hall (look out for the notices for film nights or the weekend breakfasts)
The Wild Goose, traditional country pub(independently owned) does great food and good ales. It has a small beer garden and is dog friendly. My local.
Nearby is Coombe Cellars (Mitchells & Butchers) Situated on the River Teign, spectacular river views, one of the best places to watch some of the amazing sunsets we get here in Devon. Panoramic views to Haytor, Dartmoor and down to Teignmouth and Shaldon at the mouth of the estuary.
The sailing club operates from here and there is a slipway. There are also nice walks, one being the Templar Way, which starts on Dartmoor and finishes at the sea port of Teignmouth.
