Shipwrights Cottage

Location was very convenient for an interesting seaside town.

the only drawback to this property was that when we arrived, the dishes and cutlery had been returned to their nests without being properly cleaned. it was like they had been quickly run under cold water but not cleaned. otherwise, the welcome basket of bread and having a small jug of milk in the fridge was wonderful after a long day of train travel. and the basket of brochures of local attractions was very informative.

Very comfortable and welcoming cottage.

Lack of personal parking space disappointing, but we were aware of this prior to booking. The bed was so comfortable, so many towels in bathroom and around the property. Even a dog bed although we took our own. On some occasions we left car in one of the spaces just up the road from the cottage and walked to the centre, the beach, all good. Central also, for discovering Torbay, Dartmoor, further afield. We felt at home from day one.

Lovely cottage perfect location for all amenities and beach .

Thoughtful welcome pack much appreciated., along with picnic hamper and beach towels couldn’t fault . Thank you Lyn

Really enjoyed our stay no problems at all would like blackout curtains in the bedroom though great location for walking into town

We really enjoyed our stay as it was very close to town and my mother in law who has some mobility issues was able to get there easily.

We were lucky and always found somewhere quite close by to park. The only things that could be improved were blackout blinds in the bedroom and being quite so close to a pub that played live music all weekend, although it was always finished by 10.30pm. Thank you for the kind welcome gifts of food etc.

We have stayed several times and love it here particularly as it accommodates our 2 dogs.

Thank u Judy x

we had a lovely 2 weeks at shipwrights cottage, the welcome pack was much appreciated as was all the extra touches, washing up liquid loo roll etc.

we had no problem parking just a little way from the cottage. great location for getting around Teignmouth without using the car. my only downside was I have a bad back and the furniture was a bit soft for me .

We had a lovely stay in Shipwrights cottage, it’s was cozy, warm and just a great location so central to the seafront, shops and lovely pubs.

Welcome pack was a lovely touch and was nice to meet Judy on our last day as we vacated the property. We will be back. Michelle

Thanks Sykes holidays and Judy for a wonderful stay.

We loved the cottage and the location was perfect BUT the cottage suffers from a serious damp issue (highlighted by a previous review in June).

The kitchen cupboards smelt damp and musty and we had to move all the plates and dishes and wash them before use and then leave them out which cluttered the small kitchen. Also we came down every morning to find snail/slug trails all over the floor and worktops so again a clean up was required before we could start our day. Another issue we had was whilst we were out on the Tuesday the owner took it upon herself to go into the property without informing us first to put the rubbish bins out for the following day, we were going to do this as per instructions. Apart from the above issues we would have been happy to book this cottage again in the future.

Amazing stay, would really recommend!

There is no parking space outside the property as it says in the book in the cottage, we did park in the council car park as stated, we just thought the cottage was not very clean and some of the kitchen units smelt damp , over all it just felt a bit grubby and could do with a bit of a upgrade.

Nice property ideally situated in Teighmouth for shops, the beach and socialising.

Welcome pack is an appreciated addition. Karen & Alan Murray.

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

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

Really lovely and clean house, all the amenities plus a very comfortable bed.

It was also really nice to be left some treats by the host. Would definitely recommend.

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.

The cottage is a lovely cottage a few mins from beach and train station very clean good welcome pack very comfy bed highly recommend the only problem you'll have is there's too many places to visit a good problem too have dawlish Torquay paighton Brixham Exeter dawlish and loads more the owner is a very friendly lady I would come back again

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.

Had a smashing week in your lovely cottage.

The welcome basket and drinks were a great addition to making us feel at home. Great location.
