    Nice and private, beautifully decorated, very comfy bed, was lovely to be able to either eat out or eat in, only a short walk to the town and the beach. Great to have private parking right next to the cottage. Thank you Chris and Bee

    There was nothing not to like, the cottage was everything we hoped it would be and more. The welcome basket of tea, coffee etc and biscuits was a pleasant surprise. Wine in the fridge, our hosts thought of everything. This was our first stay in...

Bee and Chris
Customs Cottage is a charming, cottage located in the beautiful seaside town of Teignmouth, a short walk from the beach and town centre with all its restaurants, bars and activities. As you reach the property there is a driveway directly in front of the cottage, where one car can be parked. There is no facility for charging electric cars. Upon entering, guests find themselves in the open plan ground floor kitchen/living and dining area, a quaint and cosy area with Smart TV, sofa seating and well-equipped kitchen. Up the stairs leads straight into the twin bedroom. Through the hallway, with a comfy chair and reading lamp, another flight of stairs leads up to the second floor with kingsize bed as well as a single bed and en-suite shower room. It is worth noting that the only shower room and toilet is an en-suite accessed via the master bedroom on the top floor and that guests do need to walk through the first floor bedroom to access the second floor bedroom, making the property best suited to families.
We are very excited for you to come and stay at Customs Cottage. We have tried to include everything that guests would need for a lovely break! I am an artist and Chris is a retired engineer. We lovingly restored the cottage last year and it has a really cosy, beach feel.
Teignmouth has a lovely red sand beach with a pier and very picturesque harbour beaches with pretty boats and great swimming. It is home to a wonderful range of events which are held all year round, so whenever you join us, be it spring, summer, autumn or winter, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect event to complete any visit. Be sure to visit the Teignmouth Pavillions who host a range of childrens, music, comedy and film events all year - you are bound to find something that takes your fancy. If you’re a foodie check out Teignmouth Farmers Market, held the last Saturday of each month this event gives you the chance to try fresh locally grown and produced fruit, veg and produce sold by the farmers and local makers. There are great music events like the Teignmouth Folk Festival and Jazz Festival, when the town comes alive with music. And the week long Carnival week with events and celebrations taking place throughout the town. Being a coastal town means the sea is a big part of life in Teignmouth and there are some great fun water based events which make the most of the towns wonderful location. Teignmouth and Shaldon both hold annual regatta’s where both land and water based activities are in abundance. Shaldon also hold a yearly Water Carnival, where the carnival procession takes place on the river instead of the roads. Every year in September the town celebrates its unique local produce with the Taste of the Teign Festival - a week long event with local restaurants and cafes featuring special menus, demonstrations by producers and a host of other events across the town and every two years there is the Sea Shanty and Maritime Festival, with bands from all over the country! Visit, Torquay, Paignton or Brixham, all lovely seaside towns just a short drive away. Dartmoor is not far with amazing scenery and hiking trails. Visit Exeter for a bit of culture or shopping.
