Oyster Cottage is a gorgeous 19th Century cottage totally renovated and carefully furnished in a contemporary nautical style. Lovingly fitted to a high specification with: Wi-Fi, flat screen UHD smart 4K TV, waste disposal, electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, combi-boiler for constant hot water and gas central heating.

Over the winter 2024/2025 we have done a little spring clean and check over all ready for you to enjoy the experience of staying in Oyster Cottage, Shaldon even more!

The cottage is reverse level with an open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen on the first floor which allows wonderful views of the sea, estuary and village green. There are UPVC double glazed windows throughout and sliding doors with a juliette balcony off the dining area.

The double room has a comfy double bed with a kingsize duvet and top quality bedding. There is a very roomy fitted wardrobe, venetian blinds, a black out blind and coordinating bedside tables with matching lamps. In the second bedroom there are adult sized bunk beds and a walk in wardrobe. Another kingsize duvet is available for the sofa bed in the open plan lounge.

In the bathroom there is a incredibly spacious walk in shower, tastefully designed and decorated to fit in with the nautical and seaside theme throughout the cottage.

Central village location overlooking the popular Bowling Club Green and less than 100 metres from Shaldon’s popular safe, sandy beach with a passenger ferry to Teignmouth. Easy pull up outside to unload, free parking around the green. Also many "local' parking places nearby and two large car parks. Leave the car behind for the duration of your stay, everywhere is walkable!

The village has excellent restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops all within easy walking distance. The wonderful London Inn is just across the green. There
are two great beaches, a smuggler's tunnel, fishing and crabbing opportunities, a little zoo run by the Wildlife Trust, 18 hole approach golf at The Ness, the botanical gardens and a children's play park all close by within walking distance. Also an indoor heated pool, spa and gym open to the public at Coast View just 5 minutes by car (day membership required).

Two miles away is the excellent Teignmouth Golf Course designed by the Augusta National architect. The famous South West Coastal Footpath is easily accessible just 15 minutes walk from the cottage, https://www.southwestcoastpath.org.uk and if wine tasting is your thing you must visit the Old Walls Vineyard at Bishopsteignton just a short drive or taxi ride away!

Shaldon’s elegant Georgian architecture, fisherman’s cottages and narrow streets exude charm. Throughout the year there are activities, festivals and the very popular Regatta in August along with a Christmas market and the annual 3 legged race on Boxing Day such a fun event to take part in and watch!

Beautiful cottage in wonderful location!
The cute, cosy cottage was warm, welcoming, immaculately clean and very well-equipped - a real home-from-home! Shaldon is a picturesque seaside village with a smattering of fab eateries and cute, independent shops. Also well-situated with good transport links to Teignmouth, Totnes, Exeter and Dartmoor. Carol was a lovely host who sent clear check-in instructions. We really enjoyed our stay!

Not ideal for a slightly infirmed person
It was a lovely property had everything you needed, but a couple of things were that in the description it showed a photo of outside saying it was property grounds but it appears it wasn’t, there was no outside to property. But the biggest problem was the bed sofa, again in the photo it shows two settees but it has been changed to a sofa bed which we found was extremely uncomfortable being so hard Not possible to sit on for more than a couple of hours.and the other problem we had the stairs were very difficult we know it’s a character property but it would be easier with a solid banister the rope is very unstable

Fab stay in a great location
The cottage has everything you need for a lovely stay. Very well equipped kitchen, fantastic walk in shower, amazing location and no trouble parking. We parked around the green when we first got there and although we then didn't use the car saw plenty of spaces appear throughout our stay. The village has some lovely pubs particularly The London Inn opposite the cottage, cafes particularly The Clipper and shops and if you want a peaceful and laid back break. Thank you

Cracking cottage-central and quiet
Just a perfect size for us, large enough to shake out, and have space, but small enough to be together. The bedrooms are on the ground floor, but there are blinds so no need to worry about leaving the bed in a mess. The showerroom also on the ground floor is spacious and well presented with a lovely shower. The first floor is the open plan living space with views over the postage stamp village green and up the street along the waterfront. We paid a visit to both the London Inn and the Fishermans (or FBI as it is known) pubs - both were on the doorstep and the FBI beer graden overlooks the teign. There are any number of local shops not to be missed and plenty of places for a cuppa and a snack... of course, you do need to hop on britains oldest ferry whilst you are here. We visited the old Walls vineyard - honestly nothing special, but Phil the local taxi driver provided an excellent and prompt service. We had a lovely time in Shaldon the people we met and the cottage were absolutely key to a wonderful time.

Lovely cottage
Nightmare! No parking close to the cottage, double yellow lines everywhere!! Wouldn’t have booked it if we had known, my husband had a stroke recently and he is 81 so the walk up a very steep hill to park was too much for him, we had to come home after 1night and lost the whole cost of the holiday.

Great little property. All the info we needed was at hand from where to eat to how to use the gadgets. Very well organised. Locals were friendly and helpful. Parking was a minor issue but we didnt really need to use the vehicle much as we just took the ferry over to Teignmouth. Well worth a visit.

Delightful week at this cottage
The property had everything needed for a comfortable stay. Situated in front of a lovely green space which was used daily by all for craft market, morris dancers picnic area and the like. Two mins walk from Shaldon beach which is delightful. From here you can catch the ferry for the short trip over to Teignmouth where we was fortunate to see the air show. Take a walk around the narrow streets of the village, plenty of good quality cafes and pubs providing good quality food. Walk along the coastal path, visit ness beach or venture further along the coast to seaside towns. Recommend the steam train to Dartmouth and River Cruise. Great cottage - not huge but plenty of room to be comfortable, comfy beds, lovely Decor. Pay and display Car parking is a 10/15 min walk away if you cannot get a spot around the green but not a problem to park outside cottage to load or unload. Hopefully will return.

Lovely upside down cottage
Lovely bright and airy living space with nice views over the green and glimpses to Teignmouth. Very well equipped, only additions that might be welcomed, especially if/when summer heats up, would be ice cube trays and a fan for the bedroom. Parking could be a challenge but the village car park isn't too far if you are average fitness, we managed to park on the green so had no issue ourselves. All the local shops pubs etc are lovely and we didn't need to go far at all for our long weekend break Would definitely recommend and also revisit in the future.

Cosy and Comfortable
This upside down house is brilliant for a short stay in Shaldon. The upstairs is a cosy, comfortable open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Downstairs is nice cool bedroom and shower room area. Perfect during a hot summer. Well fitted out, but the stairs may not be suitable if you have poor mobility. One pet hate, probably just me but I don't like to see an eclectic mix of mugs and glasses. Always looks like they are leftovers. Otherwise a lovely place to stay and we would stay again.

(War im Dunkeln trotz navi schwer zu finden weil man auf das haus nicht zufährt. Parkmöglichkeiten vorm Haus nur mit Glück, aber in 5 Minuten fußläufig erreichbar. Das Haus hat unten 2 relativ kleine Schlafzimmer und ein schönes neues Bad. Oben gibt es eine große Wohnküche mit entferntem Meerblick

A lovely little cottage very well placed just off the bowling green in the centre of Shaldon. Close to the local shops with many pubs and cafe's to choose from all within a few minutes walk. The cottage itself is very light and airy with pleasant views over the green and along the strand over to Teignmouth. All the facilities are to a high a standard.

This property is ideally located in picturesque Shaldon. Perfect for two or a family of four the only downside is the remote parking required. However its worth putting up with that for the convenience of being in the centre of the village.

About the host

Hosted by Carole Slack

Host profile image
We both grew up locally and after a spell living in West Sussex we returned to Devon. Gary is a health care director and Carole a teacher. We love the coast and enjoy walking, cycling, skiing and eating out! We had a motor boat and spent many happy hours pottering about on the river. Our two children grew up playing on the beach at Shaldon and went to the village primary school. While we were on secondment to the USA we valued our wonderful cottage even more on our regular visits home. We are now back in the UK and make regular visits to Shaldon a place close to our hearts. We are fortunate to have a local company managing the cleaning of the cottage and maintaining it to the high standards that we started with.

Why they chose this property

We have always loved Shaldon and were delighted when this cottage on The Green came up for sale as this has always been our favourite location in the village. The cottage has been totally renovated very innovatively and tastefully, by two local people. Oyster Cottage is perfectly situated and due to the thoughtful reverse level design you can enjoy wonderful views of the green, the village, the sea and river, whilst relaxing with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. There are plenty of wonderful places to eat and drink in Shaldon, including, just 2 minutes away, the Clipper which is open all day and evening and is right on the beach and another beachside cafe, The Strand Cafe. You can also walk up to Ode Cafe at the Ness or The Ness House Hotel both of which have amazing views or wander across the green to The London Inn which was completely renovated a few years ago and serves amazing food, beer and it's own gin and has a sunny pub garden overlooking the green, Oyster Cottage and Shaldon bowling green. We have spent many enjoyable evenings in Shaldon with friends while staying at the cottage ourselves. Shaldon is a quaint and unique seaside village with so much to offer.

What makes this property unique

There are many wonderful things about staying at Oyster Cottage. The village green location is perfect as you are within walking distance of all the local facilities, shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and just 50 metres to the beach and ferry to Teignmouth. You can easily pull up outside to load and unload. Some free parking located nearby and 2 huge car parks. No need to use the car for the duration of your stay, unless you want to go further afield.

It is a very bright and airy property and because of it's position the dual aspect views are fantastic. We have furnished it in a nautical style in keeping with the village ethos. We take great pride in maintaining the decor and furnishings so that it keeps it's "newly decorated" feel.

It is a quirky mixture of old and modern and includes everything from WiFi to washing machine to make staying there as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.

After many successful years with lots of wonderful comments and reviews from our happy guests, the cottage has been spring cleaned and we are ready to welcome guests old and new to Oyster Cottage on The Green. We added new refinements in 2025 including some decor items, We have a wonderfully spacious walk in shower, tastefully designed and decorated to fit in with the nautical and seaside theme throughout the cottage.
