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 to a landing with a desk and chair for home working, a door to the first floor bedroom with twin beds and a brand new family bathroom. Another flight of stairs, which is steep and narrow) leads up to the second floor with kingsize bed and a brand new en-suite shower room.

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 three years ago and have just changed the layout, making both bedrooms private and added new family bathroom. The cottage has a really cosy, beachy feel. We love to meet our guests, if we can, and tell them about beautiful Teignmouth and what’s going on.
