Lovely house good location though very dark so to navigate the outside when we arrived in the dark - an external light to light driveway or charging point would be useful. Issues with plumbing - single toilet took 3 hours to refill and the bath wouldn’t empty - plug stuck and no easy method to remove it. Otherwise lovely stay - thankyou

The house in Shaldon was great, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Located in a beautiful spot, it was perfect for a relaxing break. Fresh Escape and the property owner were both very responsive and friendly.

The property was exactly as described in a quiet, peaceful out of the way location with a secure dog friendly garden perfect for our three well behaved cocker spaniels. There was everything you needed at the property which was clean, well presented with fully equipped kitchen. We wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

I spent the weekend at this beautiful cabin, and I'm still in awe. From the moment | arrived, I felt an overwhelming sense of peace. The surroundings were absolutely breathtaking-tall trees, fresh air, and the kind of quiet that makes you breathe a little deeper and smile a little easier. The cabin itself was cozy and thoughtfully set up, making it feel like a true home away from home. Every little detail-from the warm lighting to the comfortable furniture-added to the relaxing atmosphere. Whether I was sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee or just taking in the stillness of nature, it was the perfect escape from the noise of everyday life. If you're looking for a place to unwind, recharge, and soak in nature's beauty, I can't recommend this cabin enough. It was more than just a weekend getaway-it was a soul-soothing experience I won't forget anytime soon.
