Thank you everyone for booking Shrimp in 2019. We're really happy everyone enjoyed our little cottage and gave such wonderful feedback. We are now closed until Easter 2020 but you can still book for next year.
Welcome to 'Shrimp Cottage' - Shrimp is a quirky and quaint one-bedroom cottage built in 1750 filled with traditional and modern features to help you relax and unwind.
The property:
Living room: two comfortable snuggler sofas, an efficient wood burner (free wood), underfloor heating to keep you lovely and warm and a Samsung SMART TV with all channels, i-players and Netflix. We also have super fast fibre broadband (50GB).
Kitchen: small but fully equipped with a Baby Belling oven which is perfect for making that romantic meal for two, a small fridge freezer, microwave, a washer-dryer and a compact dishwasher.
Bedroom: enjoy your morning tea with a beautiful view of the harbour and estuary.
Bathroom: gorgeous fixtures with a free-standing bath where you can enjoy a good soak after your day at the beach.
Warning: our cottage is traditionally small, with low ceilings and uneven narrow stairs but this is what makes it wonderfully homely and cosy.
The area.
Cockwood is a picturesque village with a number of local amenities. There are two excellent pubs / restaurants (The Ship Inn & The Anchor), which both serve great food and beer and have amazing views
The area has lots of walks on the doorstep: you can walk to Powderham Castle in thirty minutes and Dawlish Warren Blue Flag Beach and bird conservation area in twenty minutes. You can take the local ferry across the river to Exmouth which has amazing beaches, and we are also on the Exe Estuary Trail (21 miles of traffic free cycle / walk paths). You can walk or hire bikes (Exe Trail Cycle Hire - Dawlish Warren) and do the whole route or just part of it and then get the train or ferry back. Starcross Train Station is a ten-minute walk from our house and has direct links to Exeter, Plymouth or Torbay.
In fact, you don't need a car to stay here as the public transport is amazing.
