The Retreat is an apartment-style abode that can be found in this glorious house. Please note, the parking space is behind the house, up the driveway to the left hand side of the picture.
The rather inviting living space. Perfect for unwinding in following a day of fun and adventure.
Bedroom one is very spacious, and home to this wonderful king-size bed.
What a lovely place to gather the family for that special evening meal.
Large and well-equipped kitchen.
Fabulous spot to sit and relax following a full day of action and adventure.
Beautiful open plan space.
For those nights in, perhaps a game of chess is just the ticket.
From the parking area, you have three steps down into The Retreat.
The new large Smart TV will be mounted and ready for your arrival.
Bedroom one is home to this fabulous king-size bed.
And relax ............
Bedroom one opens up into the hallway in front of the shared bathroom, which is in 'Jack and Jill' format.
A great space to wash away the sand and suncream.
Shared bathroom between bedrooms one and two.
Bedroom two is cute and compact.
Bedroom 3 with en suite shower-room.
Bedroom three is such a welcoming and cosy bedroom.
A good night's sleep awaits.
Sandy Shaldon Beach is just across the road from The Retreat. Good luck tearing the little ones away from this fabulous beach.
Shaldon is such a Devon hot spot. The Retreat can be spotted in the bottom left-hand side of this image.
Shaldon Beach is such a popular beach and it's literally on your doorstep.
What a beautiful sight looking over to Teignmouth on the far banks.
Endless days of sandcastle building await. However, if you fancy a trip over to Teignmouth, you can catch the foot ferry directly from the beach.
Give the chef a night off and treat yourself to a spot of fantastic food at The Ness. As The Ness is within walking distance from The Retreat, there's no need for a designated driver - perfect!
The little ones of the party will love the Shaldon Wildlife Zoo, and it is right on your doorstep. Another great day out which doesn't require the car.
The beautiful fishing harbour of Brixham is only a short car journey away. A great day out for all the family.
The beautiful Blue Flag Breakwater beach in Brixham is fully equipped with a beautiful restaurant.
Another beautiful harbour sight, this one is in Dartmouth. Dartmouth is another beautiful South Devon hot spot that is certainly worth exploring.
Magnificent Dartmoor is also not too far away and most certainly worth the effort.
The Dartmoor ponies are worth the visit alone. Not to mention the amazing Dartmoor walks and numerous pubs which are peppered throughout these fabulous moors.

Mr Cooper April 2025
We had issues with drainage at this property and poor WiFi. We reported this to Classic who resolved the drainage issue. To get to the car parking area at the back of the property is tight. We used a smaller car which was fine for us. The property is in a great location which was busy at weekends with people visiting the area. Some great pubs nearby. Everything was within walking distance in Shaldon village from the property. The property is furnished well with everything you need. The property is the lower apartment so no good views of the estuary. Welcome pack, in our opinion, could have been better. ...

Thank you for your review! we're sorry to hear you experience some problems during your stay but glad to see they all got sorted by the Classic Team! It's so nice to see you enjoyed both the property itself and its wonderful setting, being so close to Shaldon and all it has to offer. Thanks for your feedback on the parking too, we do try our best on the website warning those with a larger vehicle to take care when accessing the parking around the back of the property, it's a good job you had a smaller car though and hope it didn't cause you any issues! Many thanks again for your kind review and we hope to see you again soon! Joel, Customer Support...

Mr Sambell June 2024
We enjoyed our stay at the Retreat. The apartment was immaculate and fitted out to a very high standard. The beds were comfortable and there is plenty of room in the living area. The only issue we had was that the TV is not set up with any channels and there are no instructions in the welcome pack. The property manager explained that it only works through WiFi streaming but you have to set it up yourself. Apart from that we had a great holiday and enjoyed the luxury of the apartment....

Mrs Cogger August 2024
The property is in a pleasant, bustling village and is very close to the river/sea with local amenities nearby. It is spacious and nicely furnished with good quality decor. However, the TV is not connected to satellite/aerial and therefore has no live TV channels - it just has streaming apps. The wi-fi in the property is not the one listed in the information pack provided in the lounge - Classic Cottages have the details, so you will need to contact them. The property directly above seems to have a hard floor and no sound proofing, so any movement upstairs creates a lot of noise. ...
