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.
