  This is a lovely little property tucked away by the back beach.

  Nestled between two pubs, you’d think it would be noisy but it’s not. The court yard can be a sun trap but watch out for the seagulls… Things were a little dusty and a slight feeling of damp on arrival but this was soon addressed. We did note that there were no recycle bins available. The neighbour told us that despite the owners best efforts they keep being taken. Might be worth storing them in the back? A guide might help for things like bin days (Wednesday). Parking within Teignbridge car parks has increased to £40 a week and it increases in April. It is also not valid for on street parking which is run by the county council. This is something to be aware of. Ring Go operate the parking meters. The back beach is lovely and the sea is a lot calmer, it is also where dogs can go, so if you’re not a fan beware. Finally, beware of seagulls, they can be aggressive and they are not adverse to stealing your food whilst it’s travel to your mouth. They love ice cream, sandwiches and chips. Luckily we were not caught out but saw this going on.

  As a returning guest to Quayside.

  I think the improvements are brilliant. A fairly decent sized tv and wifi. I would 100% recommend this property to anyone. The new front door is beautiful, however, a blind or net curtain would make the cottage feel a bit more private, particularly when it gets dark. This is constructive NOT criticism, but the seating could be more accommodating, The cottage has sleeping for 4 people. however, if there were 4 adults then the current seating would be ridiculous. Perhaps consider an L shaped sofa? A food caddy would be very helpful - all the neighbours have one. A few more bits of info would also be helpful - there were instructions for the kettle and toaster but not the washing machine! We had a lovely time at the cottage and would like to say a big thank you to the lady/man in charge of change over for doing a brilliant job on check in day. This is a nice cottage in a stunning location - Book It!

  We had a great week at Barnsley House.

  The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the top floor, which has obviously been recently renovated, was beautifully appointed - some of the bedrooms have stunning sea views. The pool and garden were a real treat - it felt incredibly secluded and private. Cooking facilities not bad for a holiday cottage, though we were surprised there was no coffee maker - not even a cafetière! Although the downstairs decor could do with some updating, this is a wonderfully characterful house with all the activities of Teignmouth and the beach just a few minutes away. It was very well suited to our big family group - the kids spent all their time either round the pool or playing tennis on the (free) courts on the sea front. Great place to holiday and would heartily recommend.

  My family and I had a lovely relaxing holiday in this beautiful house.

  All the bedrooms and bathrooms are of a high standard and beautifully clean . The kitchen/breakfast room is great for all the family to get together, large light and has plenty of equipment for every type of cooking. The hall/sitting room is unusual and had just enough sofas for us all to sit together just . The garden was warm and secluded and great fun for the children to play in with the swimming pool fenced off. The pool was a little cold for me but the children loved it . The walk to the town is only about 15 minutes so you can carry your buckets and spades to the beach easily. Great position. The owners were very helpful with any information needed . We would recommend this property.

  Tony the owner was in contact with us from the very start and gave us lots of useful information about the local area etc.

  Everything you need is in the property. Great little touches like beach towels and a lovely welcome pack which even included the local paper. Easy walking distance to the beach, harbour and all.the shops. Lots of lovely places to see within an hour drive. Lyme Regis and Paighton Zoo were our favourites. Only a couple of slight niggles, think we only managed to park twice in a week on the road outside. No big drama though as we found parking round the corner and this does not affect your stay at all. The other thing is larger towels for the bathroom. This is just personal preference and again will not affect your stay. Thank you again Tony
