Doesn't take long to walk to Teignmouth and the beach a fabulous little town. Youngs ones walked back up but us old un's (70's) got a taxi back (very reasonable) It was great to leave the car and walk even to Shaldon via the ferry. Fabulous pubs and eateries. All in all a wonderful holiday.Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2022Response from VrboOwner on 16 Nov 2022Thank you so much for your lovely review. Gary and I are so glad you enjoyed your stay.

10/10Excellentkaron c.26 Apr 2022Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNoneFantastic Amazing and WonderfulI am totally in love with this property - it is just fabulous. So many original features fantastic views and in a lovely part of Devon. This impressive house sits on the top of a hill overlooking Teignmouth and Shaldon so during the day you can see the sea over to the left and the boats moored up in the estuary below. At night you can see the coastline lit up by the towns of Teignmouth and Shaldon. During our stay we caught the small ferry over to Shaldon and had lunch at The Ness which is a really beautiful restaurant and then walked through the smugglers tunnel to Ness Cove Beach which was spectacular. We also sat and had a few drinks at the Ship Inn in Teignmouth and had lunch nextdoor at the Crab Shack both of which I would thoroughly recommend. If you feel like some fish and chips then i would recommend Finn McCools which is on the sea front. The town of Teignmouth is fairly small and quiet but there are plenty of places to eat listen to live music and have a few drinks.Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022
10/10ExcellentKay H.22 Aug 2021Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNoneEscape to the castleStunning views from this ‘castle’ folly. Great for families with plenty of space to escape each other well equipped. Location on a hill means steep climb back up from town so ended up using our cars more than we would have liked.Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2021
10/10ExcellentMalcolm D.25 Feb 2020Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNone70th Birthday surpriseA wonderful quirky place for a long weekend birthday party. Everything we expected was in place complete with piping hot radiators for our February stay.Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020
8/10GoodHarriet C.2 Nov 2019Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNoneSpooky but fab holiday!Great place for a Halloween holiday! The castle was perfect for a large family. The owners were really helpful and the location was perfect for lots of dog walks and pub lunches!!Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2019
10/10ExcellentDavid P.18 Sept 2019Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNoneSpectacularTake friends/family and enjoy. The building has history and is certainly quirky. The views of Teignmouth are spectacular and the walk back from town good exercise. Don’t expect perfect decor but is suits the house.
We had a fantastic time.
10/10ExcellentJohn N.29 Jul 2019Liked: Cleanliness check-in communication location listing accuracyNoneUnbelievably unique house to stay in!!What a week we had at Yannon Towers the house is so unique and so homely from the minute you walk through the door.

The little touches like a few bottles of wine and biscuits on arrival were lovely.
There was tons of room for the 9 of us and each room is full of character and stories.

The views from all rooms are fantastic and the view up on the roof (though quite a climb and not accessible for all) is just simply sensational.

If and when we come back to Teignmouth we will definitely be checking to see if Yannon Towers is available first.
