Description from owner

Description

Yannon Towers is a fantastic Grade 2 listed castle/folly is said to be styled on Balmoral and now provides a unique holiday experience for our guests - many of whom are now returning on a regular basis! The house is full of historical features including a stone spiral staircase, wood panelled walls and fire surrounds. It is believed that Vivien Liegh was a regular house guest here and she particularly liked the huge sweeping staircase which runs from the first to ground floor. Here you really can experience that taste of grandeur!

Once inside you can enjoy outstanding sea and estuary views from every window. The tower room with its four poster bed is a real treat to wake up in - especially on a beautiful sunny day. The house is just short walk from Teignmouth town centre and sea front and has easy driving access to Dawlish, Shaldon, Torquay, Dartmoor and Exeter plus many other south Devon attractions.

The property has plenty of space with 5 large bedrooms, 3 double and 2 twin beds. There are two bathrooms plus a unique downstairs toilet! The lounge / diner has ample space and comfy seating where you can relax and enjoy the sea views or have fun playing one of the many games provided - including a few murder mysteries! The kitchen and bathrooms are all modern whilst retaining their character And the property itself retains many of it’s original features. There is a Large garden with outdoor seating and ample parking for up to four cars on site, plus off site road parking.

Yannon Towers really is a delightful and unique place to stay being just a short walk from Teignmouth town centre and sea front. It also boasts easy driving access to Dawlish, Shaldon, Torquay, Dartmoor and Exeter plus many other south Devon attractions

We are continuously looking at ways to further develop this luxury accommodation and always welcome comments and suggestions from our guests!

“Yannon Towers”

Reviewed 19 Mar 2018

A house like a movie set! We visited every room like excited children on arrival. Kitchen is very well equipped for cooking for a large group. The “starter pack” contains just enough toilet paper for a short weekend so worth bringing some of your own. We had a great time!
