  • "The cottage was lovely and close to the town and the seafront."

    Nice coffee shop on the front and both the chippie and Indian restaurant were worth it. The difficulty lies in the parking, spaces are limited at the front of the cottage - this was unclear to us when we booked. After a 4.5-hour drive, the last thing you want is to search for somewhere to leave the car. It all turned out ok in the end as the car park across the road was easily accessible and not too expensive. Overall we had a good stay

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We're pleased to hear you had a good stay at the cottage. It is mentioned in the listing that roadside parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We also provide all guests with information about the location of the nearest car park before their arrival. There are two car parks conveniently situated a couple of minutes' walk from Shipwrights Cottage. We're pleased to hear that it turned out well in the end and hope we can welcome you again.

  • "The briefing needs to be fuller about parking."

    For loading and unloading one may well have to park illegally on or near Parson St but I got away with one hour or so. The two council car parks are very handy for the able bodied and are policed 0900 to 1800 I think. The charges are Around £4.00 per day but CHECK

    Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We do provide all guests with information about the location of the nearest car parks before their arrival, these are a couple of minutes' walk from Shipwrights Cottage and very convenient, we're pleased to hear that you were able to park in them during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "A beautiful cottage in the perfect location."

    The welcome pack was a lovely surprise and the kids loved the Oreo’s! Super clean and all the added extras made it the perfect home from home for the week. Would 100% recommend Shiprights Cottage

  • "We had a lovely stay in a lovely, cosy cottage, which was situated really well."

    We were close to the beach, shops, train station and other areas such as Dawlish, Torquay, Exeter. The home owner was happily on hand if we needed anything and was most kind leaving us a basket of fresh bread and doughnuts. The home owner also left toys for our little one to use including a bucket and spade, which showed she had taken the time out to cater for us. We would stay again should we return to the area.

  • "A beautiful property in a fabulous location."

    So close to everything you need in Teignmouth and an excellent base from which to explore that part of Devon. The cottage itself is really lovely, so beautifully renovated and with everything needed to self cater. Could do with a second small sofa or more comfy armchairs in the living room but the beds were great. The addition of fresh bread, milk, biscuits and doughnuts and already having tea bags at the house was a lovely and really welcoming addition. As was the dog bed, a lovely touch. A fantastic stay. Would definitely recommend.

  • "Had a fantastic week in this lovely little cottage."

    Teignmouth is a lovely place especially around the harbour. Been to lots of other places around too. We got the ferry over to Shaldon which is a gorgeous village and also walked along the coastal path to Dawlish which was great. Brilliant stay.
