  We have just returned from a wonderful week in Shaldon, which is a lovely village which we are so pleased to have discovered and will certainly be going back. We stayed with our 2 year old and 11 month old and the village is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday with children owing to the excellent beaches, shops, cafes, walks and low volume of traffic owing to the narrow streets in the centre of the village (this might change in school holidays). Compass Cottage was a superb base for our stay, its position on the Village Green is idyllic and a stone's throw from everything you need. We parked in the Ness Car Park (it was very busy everywhere else when we arrived on a sunny Saturday) and then didn't need our car for the rest of our time in Shaldon, everything is easily walkable from the cottage. Particular recommendations from us close to the cottage are Clipper Cafe, the London Inn (also on the Green) and the bakers and butcher on the main street. The tiny Beauty Hut is also lovely for someone wanted a massage / manicure treat but it's so popular that I'd phone to book before arriving in Shaldon. The cottage itself met our needs perfectly, it's well laid out, fully equipped, tastefully decorated and felt like a home from home. We returned home from Shaldon feeling like we'd genuinely had an enjoyable holiday and proper break (not always the case with two small children!) and wouldn't hesitate to return, both to Shaldon and to Compass Cottage.

  We arrived to a beautiful clean cottage right in the heart of Shaldon with the added bonus of the beach being right on the doorstep! Sea Dream cottage is very well equipped for all your needs. The kitchen is modern with lots of crockery & utensils, everything you need & more! The living room is cosy with wooden beams, lots of seating and a wood burning stove. There is also a lovely window seat where you can sit and watch people passing by. Being close to the Clipper Cafe we were able to have fresh croissants & coffee most mornings! The courtyard garden was lovely, our little dog felt very safe. The information folder was very useful too, the owners have thought of everything you need to know. Shaldon can be extremely busy but we were very lucky with parking, being able to park next to the cottage was an added bonus. One thing to note, due to the age of the cottage some of the floors upstairs are uneven, especially the bathroom but this is to be excepted and adds to the charm. Overall we had a lovely stay at Sea Dream cottage it has a very homely atmosphere.

  This house is lovely very well equipped and spotlessly clean we had the pleasure of meeting steph the lady who cleans the house she was so helpful and lovely unlike your lady in the office !!! Would stay here again just be aware the parking if you have 2 cars is a bit of a problem If your crafty enough and park about 500pm you can get away with it till next morning about 900ish the warden is very friendly but he will give you e ticket !! The spaces are limited other than that you have to park in the ness car park which is not a secure car park and was informed that blueriver cottages should pay for this or issue you with a permit !! Other than that it was a lovely holiday !!!

  We had a wonderful week at sea dream! The village and beach is wonderful too. I must have overlooked the fact it didn't have parking as I would never have chosen somewhere without. Nor would I have chosen somewhere with such steep uneven stairs and uneven floors upstairs as two of our party have mobility issues.We had to remove pictures along the stairway as they needed to lean onto the wall to get up and downstairs. Might want to replace the rope hold that are in the pictures. If we had known all this before we would never have chosen Sea Dream and that would have been our loss! It was so comfortable and full of quirky and luxury features.We will be back!

  Lovely cosy cottage and location. Beds were very comfy and felt like home from home with all the facilities available. Even Netflix on the TV! Even though parking is not available, we didn't find it too much of a problem, if you cannot get a space in Salty Lane, we found some cheeky little spaces if you turn right out of the cottage, then right along the main road and the next right, there is a no parking sign, however there are no restrictions in place. Also there are 2 little benches overlooking the water and boats which is lovely to sit on an evening with a glass of wine. All in all very nice but I will say the cottage can do with a refresh of paint.
