Sea Aster

Sea Aster is a first-floor apartment in Teignmouth, newly converted and just paces from the beach, with shops and a pub also around 50 yards away. It sleeps 2 in one king-size bedroom, with a bathroom fitted with a shower cubicle, basin and WC.

The open-plan living space has a big sofa in front of a smart TV, a dining spot and a contemporary kitchen with a slimline dishwasher. Electric heating keeps the apartment warm, and WiFi, bed linen and towels are included.

No pets are allowed at Sea Aster. Parking is free on-street in the area, or paid parking is available in nearby public car parks, where weekly permits can be bought online in advance.

Teignmouth's seafront runs from the sandy beach to the Victorian pier, with a working harbour, sailing club and diving centre nearby. The seaward side of town, the Den, has lawns, play areas, tennis courts, a bowling green and a miniature lighthouse, and Dartmoor National Park is 12 miles away.

The apartment is strictly no smoking and is let for holiday and leisure stays only, not for work, business or social-care bookings. Teignmouth also hosts folk and jazz festivals each year, along with an annual carnival and water regatta.
