  Needs much better instructions in binder eg.

  Put rubbish out on Fridays for private company to collect - not picked up. No instructions re: bed linens/ towels when checking out. Kitchen - dirty. Fridge was dirty inside, kettle and toaster, actually everything in kitchen had a film of grime covering it. Old food ( peas) on counter when we arrived. Enough to put me off cooking there, and eating off plates/cutlery until had been put through the dishwasher. I did contact Sykes about this and have photos to back up my claims. One tea towel for 2 week stay! No bin liners. There are far better, and more organised, places to stay in Shaldon. Bathroom and bedrooms were clean, including bedding and towels. Location is great. Stairs barely wide enough to get a suitcase up. Skimpy on supplies left eg. 2 toilet rolls. Overall I got the impression the owners are cheap on the little things, and they need to change their cleaning company asap. Personally I would not return. Lots of other choices out there.

  The flat is great as a base and has everything you need.

  The kitchen is well-equipped, although it took a while to figure out how to work the oven, but we got there in the end! If anyone is reading this and wants to know how to switch the oven on, you need to select the hand symbol on the timer. There’s a dishwasher and an under-counter fridge. The small dining area is comfortable, and the living space has a large sofa and a modern TV. Both bedrooms have super comfortable beds, wardrobes, and dressing areas. Everything was absolutely spotless when we arrived. The flat is up two flights of stairs, but they’re not too steep. The laundry room is outside and shared with other guests. It would be helpful to have a small stick vacuum or long-handled brush available, as the Henry vacuum provided is quite heavy and needs to be carried up the stairs. Check-in and check-out times could be a little earlier and later, respectively.

  Hillcroft cottage is a delightful place to stay.

  Welcoming, clean, tidy, comfy beds, great location to the village, beach walks and with an internal decor that is of a really good standard. A little hiccup with the wood and firelighters, but easily sorted once the office was contacted. (The only negative was the loo brush, which was rusty and had been used previously with the remnants still on it and had been left open, with the brush poking out. Not an issue, as it was wrapped in a bin liner and put outside for my stay, on the basis of health and hygiene reasons. Also, possibly a bit of maintenance needed on the bathroom sink tap, but otherwise a lovely bathroom.) I hope to return and will stay for longer next time, as the kitchen and bathroom are just my style. I heartily recommend this cottage for comfort, cleanliness and location. Be warned however, as parking in Shaldon is an issue.

  This was a lovely apartment but it did have a couple of little niggles The heating was a little confusing and took a bit of keeping on top of to keep the place warm (it was November so I would have preferred a setting to keep it on) And the sofa wasn't the most comfortable thing to sit on which made cozy nights in a bit of a chore But as far as location it was perfect, just minutes from the front and the town and the trains are really good for a night out if you want a change of scene Parking is easy if you buy the weekly pass from the council and the carpark directly opposite is good for 4-hours so no rush to get up and as long as you come back after 2pm you are ok for the rest of the day as you only pay up to 6pm

  Absolutely fantastic stay at Hillcroft Cottage.

  The cottage is beautifully presented and super clean. Honestly one of the cleanest properties we’ve rented in the UK! The kitchen is well stocked and modern and the whole property is perfect for a little break away in the great village of Shaldon. If I was to provide constructive criticism then I would suggest getting some better blind in both bedrooms. Both didn’t work properly and the ones in the top bedroom fell off as soon as I went to close them for the first night. The other area I would suggest attention is the front of the property. There’s lots of weeds by the door and front window that spoil the look of a beautiful property. Around we loved our stay and will very likely be back to stay again.
