Cottage holiday rentals in Shaldon

Wow we loved this place so so much! Firstly it was within the most peaceful setting you could imagine. Sitting out in the garden was so serene, and the wood fired hot tub was a fun bonus! Inside was immaculate, so cosy and homely! Absolutely everything you might think you need was supplied! The upstairs bedroom/bathroom was dreamy! Surrounded by lovely walks (the coastal footpath was only 5 minutes walk away) and close by to some gorgeous Devonshire villages/towns, I genuinely couldn’t fault this property! Hopefully we will be back soon! ☺️

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Linsey was very approachable, always answered any questions. My grandad fell ill the day we were meant to come and she was very understanding as why we couldn’t make it

The surroundings were lovely and a large enclosed garden was great for the dog and our 3 children. we had many a happy night in the hot tub. Lots of things for the kids to play with. We drove to all the local beaches would say most things are within an hour's drive and would recommend watermouth castle as a day out if you have kids!

Katharyn and Ben were amazing hosts. Really friendly and helpful, the property is full of character, comfortable and with everything you need for a quiet country getaway. We loved sitting in the garden room at breakfast time and chilling in the hot tub in the evening sunshine. The beautiful beach of Beer, and the pretty fishing villages along the coast are no more than a 30 min drive away so it's a great place to base yourself for some exploring too. A wonderful find and highly recommended! Thank you!

What an amazing stay! It was everything we were hoping for and more. The cottage had everything we needed and also some nice personal touches too. It was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub, listening and watching the birds . The weather was a little unsettled for us but not a problem, as we could sit in the summer house, and look out at the lovely view and our neighbours the sheep! Claire was very responsive with messaging and will look forward to visiting again soon. 🙂

Booked this house for a hen do. It was beautiful - the photos really do not do it justice. The cottage was pristine, had everything you needed. It was decorated tastefully, and was the perfect setting for a group of hens for the weekend!! The Cary Arms who manage this property are amazing hosts - so proactive, friendly and accommodating to the many many requests I submitted including having an ice bucket on hand for arrival, extra prosecco flutes for drinks, flexible check in. The only word of warning is the very steep road the cottage is located on. It’s not for the faint hearted!! But they are so helpful in moving cars for you where required. We finished the weekend at the spa which was just what the doctor ordered!! Followed by lunch at the inn which was delicious. Overall a wonderful team and house!! Great memories made this weekend and our bride was over the moon

Emma and Kevin couldn't have been more welcoming. Oystercatcher is a lovely place to stay and the private hot tub was perfect for us. Kevin made sure it was ready for when we wanted it. Touches such as the tea/coffee/ milk/Luscombe Elderflower Fizz made the visit and the homemade biscotti was perfect. Even the dog had a bag of treats. There was alot of information about the locality, including walks from the property and personal recommendations once we arrived. The location is very peaceful and the garden was beautiful. We will stay again.

Absolutely loved our stay at Cotmore farm. Perfect for our family. Our 3 and 1 year old were very happy there playing with the rocking horse, trampoline and seeing all the animals. Piers and Sue were incredibly welcoming. look forward to coming back!

Beautiful little cottage in a picture postcard village. we had a lovely stay in Little Holme, we only stayed for 2 days and wished we could have stayed longer! Would highly recommend Alyson's cottage, clean, tidy and comfortable, with everything you need, we will definitely stay again.

Had a lovely couple of nights at coastguard cottage - loved falling asleep and being able to hear the sea! Great location with walks and beautiful beaches nearby. Lots of beach facilioties on the nearest beach because of the holiday camp - but secluded coves just over the hill on the coastal path if you wanted to be on an empty beach. Burgh Island round the coast absolutely delightful. The house was bright and cheery and had everything we needed for a perfect stay! Zoe and Charlie super helpful and welcoming hosts. Really loved it!

Can't fault the place or our time there. Tania was very responsive and helpful, the place was just what we wanted for two people. Spent time at Burgh Island and a 5 hour walk around Dartmoor; the place is well positioned for both of these activities. Dog loved it as well. Apart from breakfast, ate out and the Rock Inn was great for a nice meal; kitchen seems well catered for though. Parking was relatively easy, just look for places up side streets, especially up past the war memorial.

Veronica was a great host, good communication and helpful with information before and during our stay. The cottage was as advertised and was perfect for the 3 of us. Location was less than 10 minutes to Brixham and the cottage was in a quiet location.

The cottage was a perfect base for visiting our family in Exeter. Lovely for a mini break - we really enjoyed exploring Topsham's pubs, taproom and cafes, and the tapas place opposite the cottage. The cottage was even better than the photos, and bigger. The courtyard is tranquil, the cottage characterful, all very clean. Big bedroom, comfy bed. Comfortable lounge and really good shower. We were prepared for the 2 sets of windy stairs, which were fine for us. We particularly enjoyed trips to Powderham Castle (complete with petting zoo!) and The Turf. We'll be back, thank you!

We had such a fantastic stay! It was everything we hoped for and more. The house was spotless, beds super comfortable and just had a real home from home feel. The grounds were spectacular and the position of the house was very private which was nice. We would definitely stay here again, what a gem!

Stunning location, very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. Plenty for the children to see and do, with plenty of space and a large garden including some outdoor games to play. Our girls loved staying here and we can’t wait to visit again.

Little Timbers is a wonderful retreat in the gorgeous village of Coffinswell. The accommodation provided everything we needed and more, and was very comfortable indeed. Tim and Chrissie are fantastic hosts, respectful of their guests privacy but always on hand for any questions and smiling faces when you see them in the garden. If ever we are back in the area, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. top tip: book the Linny Inn (a short walk up the road) for dinner: you won't regret it!

Sanctuary cottage is a beautiful little oasis on shaldon’s stunning green. We loved Jayne’s place - brilliantly located 2 minutes walk from the beach, pub and shops, stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean and super comfortable and cosy. Jayne was great in sharing clear directions for entering, showed flexibility towards our requirements and ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend, would love to return!

Had a lovely few days in the hutch. Chloe is a fantastic host, came to welcome and to say goodbye, also kept in contact throughout my stay to check I was ok. The hutch is lovely and immaculate, with everything provided. Lovely quiet spot with great views but really close to amenities and transport links. I would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Perfect cottage for a peaceful getaway. Beautifully styled and comfortable with nice touches and a well-stocked kitchen. Heating works really well. Clare is a fab host! Easy to find, we pulled up outside to drop off bags before parking on a street in the village. Nice pub at the bottom of the road.

Cider Barn was in the most idyllic surroundings in a very small hamlet with just a church & exceptional pub the “Tally Ho” The garden & fields beyond followed a stream full of wild flowers trees & birds The barn was an upside down house which allowed for beautiful views to the church & over the fields we spent many early mornings & evenings here walking & just taking in the peace & tranquility with a coffee or glass of wine in hand We all enjoyed following the Dart river visiting small villages enjoying beautiful walks & picturesque beaches not forgetting fabulous Totnes 2 miles away I would highly recommend staying here if this is what you are looking for you won’t regret it

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage in Devon! It was cozy, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect for exploring the area, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like a real escape. What made the experience even more exceptional was how kind and helpful the host was when I accidentally left an item behind. They went above and beyond to make sure it was safely returned to me, which I truly appreciated. Highly recommend this cottage – both for the charming stay and the outstanding hospitality!

I enjoyed my stay at Cooks cottage. I found it to be clean, comfortable with all the mod cons that you might need. The cottage provided peace and quiet and privacy which was most welcome. Very good nights sleep was had due to good quality bed and linen. It was pleasant to awake to a dawn chorus of songbirds from the rear enclosed garden. Blackbirds, Robins, Dunnocks and Wrens were evident among the mossy surrounds. At the end of my stay I felt refreshed with my wellbeing much improved. Thanks for the opportunity to experience life in Shaldon at Cooks cottage. Richard Simmons

We enjoyed our stay at The Salty. Quiet, spotlessly clean with a well equipped kitchen. We did find the top bedroom mattress a little too soft for us, but that's a personal opinion, we chose the top bedroom as it had a lovely view and a wardrobe, It would also have been nice if there had been another bedside table, as there was only one, but this is a small quibble. The Salty is in an excellent location, close to the beach and local amenities, including the Ferry across to Teignmouth and the coastal path for lovely walks. We would recommend a visit to the Botanical Gardens & the Zoo in Shaldon. Overall, a great stay and would love to come back one day!
