6/10 Okay
"Hotel has a very nice interior but dated in parts. External is solid concrete and outside areas need a bit of updating. They advertise their external pool but looks like it has been out of action for a very long time. Staff were excellent, breakfast was very good."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Shaldon cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Shaldon vary, but you can find a great deal from £63 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Shaldon is best to stay in for beaches?
For beach lovers, the best area to stay in Shaldon is the main village area, particularly around Ness Cove and Shaldon Beach.

Shaldon Beach, located directly in the village centre, is a lovely sandy cove superb for families. It's easily accessible and offers calm waters for swimming and paddling, along with rock pools for exploring at low tide. You'll find amenities like cafes and ice cream shops right on the seafront.

Ness Cove, a more secluded and picturesque beach, is just a short walk (or a quick ferry ride) from the main village. It's accessed via a historic smugglers' tunnel through the cliff, which adds to its appeal.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Shaldon?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Shaldon is during July and August. The weather is at its warmest then, with average temperatures usually between 18°C and 22°C, which is fantastic for enjoying the beach and the estuary.

During these peak months, you'll find Shaldon buzzing with activity, great for families looking for a lively seaside holiday. The warm weather is ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing on the sand at Ness Cove Beach. Many local establishments, from ice cream parlours to watersports centres, are in full swing, offering a complete holiday experience.

For a slightly different, yet equally charming, experience, May is an excellent alternative. The weather is pleasantly mild, with temperatures typically ranging from 14°C to 17°C, making it lovely for coastal walks and exploring the village without the full summer rush. In May, you may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular restaurants.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Shaldon with Expedia?

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.

What beach activities should we do in Shaldon?
The best beach activities to do in Shaldon involve exploring the unique coastal features and enjoying the tranquillity of its main beaches.

Ness Cove Beach, accessible via a historic Smuggler's Tunnel, is a fantastic spot for families. The tunnel itself is an adventure, leading to a secluded shingle beach that's great for rock pooling at low tide. The waters here are generally calm, making it suitable for paddling and swimming, and there are often opportunities to spot local wildlife from the shore.

For those looking for a more traditional beach experience, Shaldon Beach, located directly in front of the village, is superb for couples or anyone wanting a relaxed day by the water. It's a sandy beach, ideal for sunbathing, building sandcastles, or simply enjoying the views across the Teign Estuary. You can also hire small boats or kayaks here to explore the estuary at your own pace.

Finally, for a bit of exploration, consider a low-tide walk along the estuary towards Ringmore.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Shaldon as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Shaldon for you.
