Not far from Town, quite area, brilliant place to relax.

Short family break, hot weather made this perfect. But also could imagine a cozy winter trip here. Would love to return.

Everything. This was perfect, very well equipped, decided location, perfect for a family break or for time away with friends. Plenty of parking.

− Nothing , if being picky it would be good to have a cover over the hot tub to use it in wet weather

Empfehlenswert

Tolles modernes Haus, wie erwartet abseits gelegen mit grossem Garten und viel Grün. Die Sackgasse erscheint zunächst als Irrweg führt aber zum Ziel. In der exzellent ausgestatteten Küche findet man alles was man braucht. Die Betten sind sehr bequem und auch das Sofa im Wohnzimmer. Die Überdachung der Terrasse ist sogar regendicht.

− Die Dusche im Bad ist eine Fehlkonstruktion aber es gibt ja noch eine Badewanne. Der Hot-Tub war nicht gefüllt sodass wir das nicht beurteilen können.

We have stayed in Shaldon many many times but wouldn’t come back to this house

5.0

The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac and would have been really peaceful but there is a field of alpacas next door and people with loud children came to visit them often. We enjoyed playing badminton in the garden and eating outside on the patio. The kitchen is well-equipped.

− It’s by no means terrible but for the money we were disappointed. The garden and outside area was a mess. Grass needed cutting, hedges trimming and the area where the washing facilities etc are was filthy and not to the standard of a house rented to guests. No washing detergent, no shampoo or conditioner, a broken curtain rail in one of the bedrooms and the bathroom had a really impractical wet-room shower that covered the whole floor in water. Limited space to put anything, especially in one of the bedrooms that only had a small hanging rail and two bedside-table drawers. Tricky when you are on holiday for a week with two children!

Sunnybrook’s peace and tranquility grows on you while you are there and one is reluctant to leave, when the time comes..

Quiet, peacefulness of site. Quality of house fittings and eco innovations in its build. The service company and owner were very attentive to our questions. We enjoyed a couple of soaks in the hot-tub, once we had worked out how to get it going.

− Nothing really that we didn’t like. But here are some minor observations: “Near the beach” I feel is a bit of an exaggeration. Although the owner had obviously cut his own hedge, the lane to the house was very overgrown and touched the car on both sides. Also a description said two bathrooms: it only has one. It has two toilets? Is this an American terminology issue? Minor suggestion points: the in-house hard copy guide needs some updating and an explanation of the “secret”drawers would be useful. A Washing-up bowl would be a useful addition. It would be good at some point to uncover the overgrown brook that borders the property on one side.

Amazing stay
