Sandpiper has to be one of the best holiday cottages we’ve ever stayed in. The view from the lounge is breathtaking. We found the house comfortable, homely and welcoming. It’s conveniently situated for Shaldon which is such a lovely little town and so well-placed for exploring the area. We spent some lovely early mornings walking the dog around the botanical gardens which are on your doorstep. They are beautifully maintained with a fascinating history. Sandpiper is a gem of a place and we fully intend to return.
Mrs Johnston July 2023
A gem of a property, stunning views with access to many attractions including pubs, restaurants and kayaking. Wonderful for children with the beach just across the road as well as the botanical gardens and zoo.
Dr Golby July 2023
Main attraction was the expansive views, and they didn't disappoint. Thank goodness as I broke my ankle just before our trip so spent an awful lot of time admiring them! Binoculars were a nice touch.

I'd book this again for the view across to Teignmouth alone and it was good to have the house binoculars there too! The open plan living space makes the most of the daylight which pours through the window that runs the entire north elevation of the living/dining/kitchen area. The proximity to the village centre is a bonus with its bakery, butcher, pubs and cafes. There is good walking nearby, a charming small zoo, a botanical garden over the road and you can get to the foot passenger ferry to Teignmouth in a couple of minutes.
Mrs Conduit October 2022
Nice place with a superb vista. Good local amenities for a small village. Unfortunately we will not be returning as the price is too much even during what used to be “out of season”. Also disappointed with a pint of milk and seven biscuits representing a Welcome Pack !!!

We're delighted you liked this beautiful cottage and the location. The views of the estuary are indeed superb. Welcome packs are individual but in general (as with this cottage) provide a supply of tea, coffee, sugar and milk along with biscuits/cake and flowers on arrival, as well as an initial supply of cleaning products to get you going. We do have a variety of different styles and sizes of property, so do let us know if we can help with your choice in the future. Kelsey, Customer Support
Mr Southam September 2022
Lovely house and location. Would love to return in 2023 but just too expensive.
Miss Thompson September 2022
Stunning cottage, incredible location. Has everything you need provided. Just wonderful.
Mrs Stimson June 2022
Our party of 3 stayed at Sandpiper in June 2022. One of the first things to greet us on arrival was the view and what a view. The comings and goings on the estuary and sea were a highlight of our stay. The cottage is very spacious, comfortable and really well equipped. The short walk to the beach, little shops and places to eat was a bonus even though it was uphill coming back ! We really enjoyed our holiday.

Think you should mention the steps down to property for older people 82years old myself

Mr Gardener April 2022
Lovely cottage with wrap around views from the main bedroom and all the ground floor. Very high quality furnishings and kitchen well equipped for large groups. Parking space behind cottage which easily fit one family car and I expect it could manage two small ones if needed. Shaldon was a bit sleepy in April but there were a couple of cafes and pubs open, although some not every day. Village store open every day for the basics (including some wine!). Cakes from the bakers are great. The Clipper cafe was lovely, had two very nice meals there overlooking the River, very friendly staff. Very picturesque and unspoilt little town.
Mrs George April 2022
On our arrival the amazing panoramic views from 4 large picture windows, taking in the Teign bridge to the coastline ending in Hampshire took our breath away.
Mr GALOPHE December 2021
This property is perfect in all angles: it’s only a 2 minute walk to the nearest beach, in the heart of beautiful Shaldon, lovely welcoming neighbours, everything you need in the kitchen for a Christmas feast, well equipped laundry room with back access for muddy shoes and wet over trousers, clean and contemporary inside design and decoration, clean and modern bathrooms, stunning views in all weathers and last but not least very comfortable beds! I HIGHLY recommend! We were there for a week with two young children and grandparents and we felt at home and with enough sense of privacy.
Mrs gregory October 2021
Extremely well equipped. Fantastic views over the Estuary. Efficient heating system, cosy and warm. Super clean with excellent furnishings. Convenient location. We very much enjoyed our Autumn stay in Sandpiper.
Mr Endacott October 2021
Panorama views across to Teignmouth and up the estuary are just delightful.
Mrs Raftery September 2021

Mr Goncalves July 2021
