Sunshine Cottage is an intriguing terraced holiday home located on a slipway down to Back Beach in Teignmouth, Devon. This cosy property, once a fisherman’s cottage, is ideal for a small family or group of friends looking for a traditional seaside holiday. The cottage features a comfortable sitting room with a foldaway dining table, a galley kitchen, and a courtyard with a decked area offering striking harbour views. There are two bedrooms, including a double room with bay window views and a bunk room suitable for children.
The cottage is conveniently located near shops, pubs, and restaurants in Teignmouth, a bustling seaside resort with plenty of family-friendly activities such as an outdoor swimming pool, skate park, adventure golf, and sandy beaches. Visitors can explore the promenade leading to the working port on the river side of town, where they can watch ships navigating the estuary. Across the River Teign lies Shaldon, a regency town with a wildlife breeding centre and a famous beach accessible through a smugglers' tunnel.
Further down the coast is the English Riviera, known for its micro-climate, palm trees, gardens, and promenade lined with ice cream shops and cafes. Nearby Torquay, the birthplace of Agatha Christie, offers historic sites related to the author and served as the inspiration for the classic British comedy Fawlty Towers. Paignton, with its zoo and steam train to the River Dart, is another recommended day trip from Sunshine Cottage. With its picturesque surroundings and proximity to various attractions, this delightful cottage provides a perfect base for exploring the South West of England.
