This cosy coastal cottage combines original features with contemporary high-end fittings and is oozing with character. Ideally located just a stone's throw from the beach, this home is smack-bang in the heart of the quaint fishing village of Shaldon. The accommodation spans two floors and offers ample seating and sleeping arrangements for parties of up to six – families or friends will feel right at home here. Head to the nearby award-winning butchers to buy breakfast ingredients, and cook up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen. Enjoy alfresco dining on the charming outdoor terrace, or pack a picnic for a day at the beach. Entertain younger family members at the local conservation zoo – just a ten-minute walk away – while golfing enthusiasts head to the nearby 18-hole course. If you're visiting in August, bask in the fun and festivities of the annual Shaldon Regatta and make memories you'll never forget.
