We had a great stay in this lovely cottage. Tucked away in a quiet spot yet a short walk to beaches, pubs, restaurants and shops in lovely Shaldon. We found the accommodation to be quiet, comfortable, well equipped and with excellent parking. Shaldon is delightful with a fantastic small zoo, lovely beaches and fantastic butcher and bakers. Thoroughly recommend.
