A space that’s perfect for celebratory dinners as it is for slow, peaceful mornings snuggling under the blankets, the Crab Shack Apartment is both restorative and invigorating: ready for the tempo you set for your holiday. The open plan living space on the first floor is divided into two distinct zones. A cosy seating area, complete with a hanging bubble chair as well two comfy sofas, is ideal for kicking back to watch a movie with a glass of wine in front of the woodburner (an honesty bar is provided). The dining area welcomes seamless inside-outside family living and opens out onto a private balcony with wonderful views out over the boats. Cook up a storm in the galley-style kitchen, which comes with a washer dryer, oven, microwave, coffee machine and dishwasher and access to another large balcony area, or order food up from the Crab Shack, featured in The Times Top 30 Best Places to Eat by the Sea: Lobsters, Moules and Sunsets.
Three beautifully-decorated bedrooms are on the second floor, each offering its own individual vibe. One has a double bed with an en suite shower room featuring an uplifting vertical garden. The second provides a king bed, while the spacious third bedroom has a super-king and sea views to ensure dream-filled slumbers of sunsets and sandy beaches. A large family bathroom with bath, shower, toilet and wash basin provides space to wash away a salty beach day.
The Crab Shack Apartment offers easy seaside living, whether you’re playing in the sea or dozing with toes in the sand. After racing back to rinse off, enjoy the Crab Shack’s catch of the day under exploding skies. However tempting it is to stay put, explore the pretty family-friendly town of Teignmouth with its Victorian pier and a wealth of south Devon harbours, villages and attractions just a hop, skip and a jump away.
