The property was well located, but smelt terribly of damp. It was also not very clean- the toilet was dirty when we arrived. Also, in other places, the hosts typically leave supplies to enable a cup of tea/ coffee (with milk in the fridge). This property/ care of guests seemed very basic. Wouldn't return to that particular property.
Despite the cottage not having a sea view, its well worth considering for a stay. Well appointed but couldn't find a tea pot!! Home from home really. Great beds and efficient heating system. Stairs need care, especially if you are elderly. Bit of a walk to the private car park, which really is essential as parking is poor in Shaldon. I did have to call the company just before 4 pm on arrival to get the key code no. Then received 3 text messages!!
I am so pleased that we booked this cottage for the Easter weekend. It has been beautifully renovated and is very cosy and comfortable...everything you need for quiet, relaxing weekend away.
Location wise it was great, close to all amenities, cafes etc. and close to the Botanical Gardens.
The only thing I would say is that if travelling with elderly people, the staircase might be a bit awkward as some of the steps are narrow in places and the handrail is made of rope so isn't as sturdy as a fixed handrail...but don't let that put you off. Just a consideration!
Delightful cottage in the lovely village of Shaldon. The Cottage is perfectly situated close to beach and five local pubs all within easy walking distance. A lovely place to stay.
Having been to Shaldon before we new about the village. The cottage is very central and comfortable and in a quiet location. The beds are very comfy as well. We took advantage of the added car parking which we fully recommend. Will be booking the cottage again. Fantastic stay. Beautifully renovated cottage.
