Riverside Retreat on the Teign Estuary

NEW! Discover The River Shack, a unique holiday home near Teignmouth and Shaldon set on the tranquil shores of the River Teign. With sweeping estuary views to Dartmoor, this charming two-bedroom retreat offers a cosy Aga kitchen, wood burner, freestanding bath, and private garden with seasonal fruit. Perfect for couples or families with furry friends. Enjoy kayaking, fishing, and nearby pubs, all from your riverside escape.

Here at Your Devon Escape we intend to leave you alone to enjoy your holiday but are on hand to answer any questions you may have.

Guests are encouraged to make the most of the riverside setting by hiring kayaks locally to explore the estuary at their own pace, or perhaps trying their hand at fishing for the local mullet and bass.

Just 500 yards away, you’ll find the locally renowned Coombe Cellars pub, offering indoor and outdoor seating with a fantastic menu overlooking the water. A short stroll from there is The Wood Shed, a relaxed café-style spot ideal for brunches, light lunches, or coffee breaks during your stay.

Ideally located, The River Shack is close to the friendly village of Shaldon and just a short drive from Teignmouth’s beaches, shops, cafés, and restaurants. Newton Abbot offers further amenities, including direct rail links to London Paddington. For outdoor enthusiasts, the property sits right on the Templar Way walking route, which links Dartmoor to the South West Coast Path.

- Sweeping estuary and Dartmoor views from indoors and the private garden.
- Sleeps up to four guests in two beautifully appointed bedrooms.
- Cosy kitchen with Aga and a bathroom featuring a freestanding bath.

Parking & Access:
Parking is restricted to using the pub car park. From there it's approximately a 5 minute walk to the property. We advise that you consider travelling light as to not have to carry too much along the footpath.

Pets:
The River Shack is perfect for dog walks and river splashing and we welcome guests with one small, well-behaved pet. We do ask that dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms or on the furniture and you will need to bring your own dog towels, bed and bowls. Please pick up after your pet wherever whilst you are visiting. The neighbouring property does have free range chickens and we ask that you are careful not to let any pets wander unsupervised.

High Tides:
Due to the nature of where the property is located we strongly advise that you consult local tide times. During high or Spring tides part of the access path can flood so we advise you consider bringing a pair of wellies just in case.

Mud Flats:
When the tide goes out patrolling the mud flats can be great fun but we urge parents to not let children wander around unsupervised given the mud flats can be both boggy and in places deep.

Winter/Evenings:
We advise that you bring with you a torch of some sort as the estuary pathway isn't lit.

High Chair & Travel Cot:
We ask that you bring your own with you if you require them.

Rental Conditions:
Prior to your stay, we require you to complete a pre-arrival form and sign & agree to our rental conditions.
