Shoreside at Shaldon is a small, private estate of superior-quality cottages, set on the estuary of the river Teign where it meets the sea. It is a truly superb location, watching the various boats coming back into the harbour, and the trains from Paddington to Penzance racing along the tracks on the opposite bank. Shaldon village, is quiet, very private and an ideal location for a small family, (three adults, mother, father and son). 5 Shoreside is a double-fronted cottage, with every amenity possible. A very tiny courtyard garden had been converted into a rear parking space, with room (just) for a small table and chairs. The property was immaculate, and it was spacious, extremely comfortable. There were a few "niggles". The recycling facilities were dreadful, and we found ourselves trying to recycle on a daily basis, but the lack of recycling stations in Shaldon made this difficult. The kitchen had no hooks for a hand towel/tea towel, and we were surprised to have a toilet so close to the kitchen, with no dividing wall. In the master bedroom the bed was made up with a really heavy quilt. Last but not least, we couldn't open the windows due to the absence of a window-lock key!! It was a very hot week (Hurrah!) and the inability to open the windows was quite a problem. We LOVE Blue Chip, we have holidayed with you many times before, at Moorings Reach, Brixham and will definitely do so again. You are, by far, the best holiday company we have ever used. Here's to NEXT YEAR!!!

One of the best properties we have ever had, which is good when we rent properties 4 times a year normally!!! We will certainly go back again.!
