Spacious Two or Three Bedroom Cottage: Ideally located in the pretty hamlet of Ringmore, and yet only a seven-minute level stroll along the Teign river, into the bustling and quaint seaside village of Shaldon with its pubs, village green, cafes and shops, and beach. Spacious cottage sleeps up to six people with three good sized, and individually designed bedrooms - all with pretty garden views. The master bedroom, The Pottery Wheel, has a King-size bed. The Lobster Pot, has twin beds. The Cider Press has a King-size bed. Bedding and bath towels provided. Two good sized shower rooms, one on the ground floor, and one on the first floor. A well-equipped kitchen/dining room with washing machine, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, cooker and microwave, and a spacious and bright living room. Sunny private terrace, complimentary Wi-fi, off-road parking for two cars, and slipway access to the river just two minutes’ walk away. Well behaved dogs are also very welcome with a small weekly surcharge per dog. "Thank you for making our stay at The Secret Well such a lovely week. So much thought and detail has gone into making The Secret Well a home-from-home, with little touches and ideas making it quite different to other places". Customer 12.8.24
"Our stay was lovely with lots of welcome gifts. Whilst on holiday, it felt like home with lots of curiosities and ornaments, and outstanding care. Thank you". Customer 28.8.23. Spacious, with room to spread yourselves, but also cosy and inviting, with fun and eclectic decoration. Many of the local options available are within an easy walk (or even kayak!) from the cottage. Booking The Secret Well - Two or Three bedrooms: Prices are quoted online for booking three bedrooms and include all charges. If you only require two bedrooms, this option is also available. During peak season, we usually take one-week or longer bookings. During off-peak times, we will consider a minimum of four nights. Please enquire directly in this instance. With pretty garden views from each bedroom and its own private sunny terrace, we hope that The Secret Well is "your home, from home" whilst on holiday in this beautiful part of the country.
Situated at the back of Glenside House, which was formerly a pauper’s school and then a small hotel in its own right. A minutes' walk takes you up to the pretty little church of St Nicholas, and from Shaldon village, you can take the Foot Ferry over to Teignmouth, or a short walk up to Shaldon Zoo, The Botanical Gardens, Pitch and Putt golf, as well as the beautiful Ness beach accessed through a smugglers tunnel! Dawlish, Torquay and Totnes are a short drive away, and Sidmouth, Dartmoor and Dartmouth half an hour by car.
