“We had a very enjoyable week in a lovely old thatched cottage, The Cottage is ideal for a couple and has been recently renovated and equipped to modern standards with everything you would need.”

The village is tucked away in a valley a mile or so inland and is crammed full of thatched cottages. Devon a century ago ! It has a thatched pub and a community shop , both within 70 metres of the cottage. The pub does good food and the shop caters for most needs , what more could you want.

Thank you for your review as it was lovely to hear how much you enjoyed, not only the cottage, but the village and countryside too. I’m so pleased you found so much to your liking and hope you’ll return to Devon again soon. Property Owner

“It was a lovely cottage to stay in for our week away.”

It is close to everything you might want to do while you are here. The kitchen was well stocked compared to other cottages we stayed in which was very nice. We did find a lot of coffee grounds in the draw in the kitchen we tried to clean some of it up but didn’t get all of it, when we arrived. Another complaint was that there was hair all around the back of the toilet rim where the seat attachment is. Otherwise it was a lovely stay. Also thank you for the scones, jam and milk. We really enjoyed our stay.

- Zoe, October 2025

Thank you for your review and feedback. I have taken note of your complaints to ensure they won’t occur again in the future. Thank you for adding that you still enjoyed your stay and found the cottage to your liking. I was pleased, and relieved, to hear that your holiday was not marred too much and you, nonetheless, were able to enjoy all the area has to offer. Best wishes. Property Owner

“Cannot fault this property.”

Great for walking and exploring. Short drive to a town or a beach but just enough distance to be in the countryside with a village feel. The property was perfect and had everything you needed. Highly recommend this property.

- Selina, October 2025

How lovely to hear that my cottage is ‘perfect’! I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay as much as you did and thank you for the great review. Property Owner

“We had a lovely time at the cottage.”

Plenty of kitchen equipment, with everything we needed, oven etc very easy to use. The bedroom and en-suite were just gorgeous! Luxury bedding, very comfortable and well needed after a day walking! The deep bath was so relaxing… The local pub, The Church House Inn was very welcoming and had excellent food (we recommend the “pie and pint” evening on a Thursday!) All in all, great location, and a very clean and comfortable cottage, thank you.

- Richard, September 2025

It was lovely to read your review and to hear how much you enjoyed the cottage and village. To have a part to play in providing such an enjoyable holiday feels very special to me and I’m delighted you enjoyed your stay. Thank you again for such a great review. Property Owner

“When we booked there were no reviews but so pleased we took the chance.”

Lovely cottage clean and well equipped. Good quality bedding towels and very comfortable bed. Milk butter in the fridge on arrival plus scones and jam very good value for money.

- Christine, September 2025

It was lovely to read your review and I’m delighted you took a chance on booking my cottage and enjoyed your stay. Thank you so much for your words of appreciation. Property Owner
Bob September 2025

“Lovely cottage, everything was top quality, very comfortable bed with luxury bedding.”

Everything you could wish for in a rural village which has a community shop and a pub which does great food. Te only problem was trying to get the TV to work, managed to get live programmes eventually but not that simple. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

- Bob, September 2025

Thank you so much for your recommendation and I’m pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and your visit to the village. Thank you too for your comments regarding the tv, I am in the process of trying to make access to live tv easier, but I’m pleased you managed gain access while you were there. It was also good of you to mention the quality and comfort in the cottage as that was nice to hear - many thanks. Property Owner

“Myrtle cottage is a lovely little thatched Grade 2 listed cottage built around 1650, perfect for 2 adults and a dog.”

It has kept its old worldly charm but with modern touches. There is low beam downstairs (if you are under 5'10 there is no risk of banging your head!) and the low ceiling does make the downstairs feel dark, but this is all part of the old building and it's charm. The cottage is very clean and well equipped with everything you might need, a very comfy bed and luxurious bathroom. The off street parking is a benefit as the cottage is directly on the road, however, this does mean you don't have a fenced off garden. Located in a small village with a very nice pub, village shop and friendly neighbours, it has everything you need for a relaxing getaway in south Devon. We booked this last minute (2 days before!) and there was no previous reviews but I'm glad we took the chance... highly recommended and would definitely stay again when in the area.

- Diane, July 2025

Thank you so much for your great review and I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay especially after taking a chance on an unknown. Many thanks. Property Owner

“This is a lovey cottage.”

Recently and sympatheticly refurbished to a high standard. Stokeinteignhead is such a beauty village with an excellent and well patronised pub . A great place to eat with very friendly staff. The whole village is also very friendly. The TV arrangements might prove challenging for non-tech visitors. The duvet would suit a winter letting best but proved to be very hot during our stay with no alternative. We have rented places through Sykes in the past and it has always been a very straightforward affair. I would recommend this property, Well worth the money we paid

- Nick, July 2025

Thank you so much for your review and feedback. I’m pleased to hear you not only enjoyed the cottage, but the village as well, and I shall certainly arrange for some lightweight bedding to be available for summer use as you suggest. Property Owner

About the location

STOKEINTEIGNHEAD

Shaldon 1.7 miles; Newton Abbott 4 miles; Torquay 6 miles.

Stokeinteignhead is a picturesque village nestled in a steep valley near the sea in south Devon. Lined with pretty thatched cottages, the narrow winding village streets house a traditional friendly pub, a community village shop, school and historic church. Nearby, Shaldon is an attractive fishing village nestling at the mouth of the River Teign, a river renowned for its cockles, mussels and salmon. With quaint cottages, individual shops and narrow streets lined with cafes, Shaldon is a place to wander, relax and enjoy life by the sea. The children will love the sandy beaches reached through Smuggler’s Tunnel, and adults and children alike will enjoy the botanical gardens and small zoo, followed by a traditional Devon cream tea. The Ness headland rises proudly above the mouth of the estuary, guarding the waters between Shaldon and the busy Victorian town of Teignmouth, offering some of the most stunning views in the West Country.

Note - It is advised that dogs should be kept on a lead when outside the cottage.

Please note: being an old cottage, a couple of the beams are quite low, and the stairs may be steep for some people - please take care.
