Cosy Seaside Cottage, minutes from Beach & Village, Dog-Friendly, with parking.


Tucked away in the heart of the charming seaside village of Shaldon, Saltwater is a beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage, perfect for a relaxing coastal escape. Just a short, level 5-minute stroll from the beach and river, it’s ideally located for enjoying everything this popular Devon destination has to offer.

Set across three floors, the property has been recently redecorated and thoughtfully furnished to provide a comfortable and stylish stay. On the top floor, you’ll find two inviting bedrooms—a double room and a bunk room (best suited for children under 12)—alongside a modern shower room.

The first floor is designed for relaxing and socialising, with a cosy lounge featuring a flat-screen TV (including Amazon Prime and catch-up services), a fold-down dining table for up to four, and a well-equipped kitchen. From here, step into a sunny courtyard - perfect for al fresco dining or a morning coffee. A convenient additional WC is also located on this floor.

On the ground floor, a practical storage area includes a washing machine, picnic hamper, and cool bag, ideal for days out at nearby Shaldon or Ness Tunnel Beach.

Guests also benefit from a private covered parking space right outside the front door, plus additional free on-street parking.

Saltwater is well equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including WiFi, dishwasher, microwave, fridge freezer, cooker, and thoughtful extras like a hairdryer. For families, a travel cot, high chair, baby bath, and potty can be provided on request.

The cottage is just a short walk from Shaldon’s welcoming pubs, cafés, and independent shops, and is perfectly placed to explore local highlights such as the Shaldon Wildlife Trust and the nearby 9 hole 'pitch n putt' golf course. Seasonal events like the village regatta and water carnival both in August make it a favourite destination for returning visitors.

For a change of scene, hop on the small passenger ferry across to Teignmouth, where you’ll find a traditional seaside pier, large play park and a wider selection of shops and restaurants. Further afield, the stunning landscapes of Dartmoor National Park and the South Hams are within easy reach for memorable day trips.

Dogs may be accepted by prior arrangement (additional fee applies). Please note that pets are not permitted on furniture or in bedrooms.

Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a short coastal break, or a relaxing getaway by the sea, Saltwater provides a comfortable and convenient base in one of South Devon’s most picturesque villages.

Property was good and we would use again. Shaldon is a small but very nice village with decent places to eat and a few nice shops. London Inn best place to eat. Property pictures nearly put us off booking as not really detailed enough. Toilets and bathroom are small, floor 1 has toilet with large sink, floor 2 has bathroom with quite small but good overhead shower, toilet, and tiny sink. Overall no problem for couple. Kitchen is fine and well enough equipped, lounge area is great for couple but only sofa and one folding chair. Parking in internal carport, big plus.

Lovely, cosy cottage with everything we needed. Sheldon is a beautiful village where there are a few local shops and places to eat and drink. We visited the Ness caves which were only a short walk from the cottage and Teignmouth where there are lots of shops and a long beach front. Local park near by which was ideal for the children, also having the parking space was very beneficial. We look forward to our next visit. X

Great for a short break

A great cottage for a short stay with a young family. Communication was great with the hosts and they were so accommodating. Having a parking space in Shaldon was a real bonus too. Bunk bed room is as described, not suitable once children are over 12 or so. Our son is 12 now and it was a squeeze in the bunks but fine for only a few nights. I’d say ideal children under 10 but lots of stairs so take stair gates. Towels were a bit musty, so I wish I’d have taken our own and things like hand soaps dispensers weren’t filled so ran out, no bin bags & also lots of cobwebs but overall it was great.

Shaldon at Christmas

We stayed at Saltwater over the Christmas period and was able to enjoy all that Shaldon has to offer at this time of year.Saltwater was a great property for the two of us. It is in an ideal position with its own parking (which is a must in the village), close to the centre and all the activity. It was an ideal size for us, spotlessly clean and decorated for Christmas for our arrival- which was a very nice touch.Thank you!

Perfect short break

Staying in the lovely cottage in Shaldon was an absolute delight! The accommodation itself is excellent and close to amenities. The village boasts a bakery, inviting pubs, and the fantastic Clipper restaurant, ensuring there's never a shortage of delicious dining options. Additionally, the short walk to Teignmouth provided ample opportunities to explore the pier, browse quaint shops, indulge in cozy cafes, and even take a scenic ferry back to Shaldon, making it a truly memorable and picturesque getaway. Shaldon Zoo was also a great way to spend a few hours. We didn’t use the car the whole time we were there either so racked up quite a few steps, which was another bonus! Would highly recommend to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting!

A quiet break

A very enjoyable out of season break avoiding the summer crowds. Only two of us plus the dog, so the cottage was more than adequate and very well located within easy walk of the beach plus a brilliant butchers and village store. A big plus is the undercroft parking as parking is an issue in the village even out of season. Cottage is well equipped and ideal for self catering. The local pubs are ok but not as good out of season. Overall a lovely break for both of us.

Loved Shaldon and Teignmouth

We had a very enjoyable stay at the cottage. Everything was within an easy walking distance or short car ride. Saltwater cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We travelled to Teignmouth via the ferry which took about 5 minutes to cross over. We also took the scenic train route up the coast. Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable cottage with all the necessary amenities and an undercover parking bay. Well placed in a lovely Georgian village overlooking the river Teign and out sea. Easy to explore the surrounding countryside, beaches and Teignmouth. The shops in the village provide all your basic needs for a great holiday and there are several good pubs/restaurants as well.
