Spacious property Games room Comfy beds TVs with Sky etc Piping hot water in showers Tasteful decor Fabulous views Close to local amenities with great little shops - bakery, butcher, coffee shop, pubs, grocery store and Post Office. Not enough bedroom storage - bedside tables etc Welcome pack - we have had some fabulous things left to welcome us to our holiday properties in the past. At Mintons it was wine and a bag of coffee - nice but quite basic, a pint of milk and some butter could be provided at least…thoughtful ideas make a BIG difference. The booking in and out times have been changed to ensure deep cleaning/airing (written on your website), due to COVID. The house had not been cleaned/checked to the standard we expect and had paid for! For example some furniture was incredibly dusty, we found things underneath furniture that had been left by previous occupants - a dirty sock, cigarette filters, half used hair product. There was part eaten ice cream in freezer, another sock in washing machine, lots of built up debris at back of sofa, floors not fully clean so impossible to walk around without dirtying socks, plates and cups in cupboard not clean, compost caddy very unhygienic as no bags supplied, hand soap in en-suite watered down! Surely there is a list of EVERYTHING that needs completing and checking on changeover day?? Hot tap in en-suite faulty. Downstairs toilet didn’t flush properly. Odd mixture of kitchen utensils - electric whisk but no cheese grater?? Chest of drawers in bedroom 1 - handles missing, drawers very rickety. ...

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback, and it's great to see that there were so many elements of the house that worked well for you. We've passed on your suggestions to make things even better to the owners, we're sure they'll appreciate your ideas. Whilst we weren't aware during your stay that you felt some areas needed further attention, had you let us know we'd have been very happy to arrange for the housekeeper to return. These items will be checked thoroughly at the next changeover opportunity. Tanya, Customer Support...

We loved our stay at the Mintons, it is probably the best home in the very best location in Shaldon, which is a beautiful little English coastal village. The views are fantastic and there are some great pubs between 1 to 5 minutes walk away. I would highly recommend this place....

I couldn't believe the view from this house was just as in the pictures, and in fact everything was just as in the pictures. It was very large and roomy, but not cold. It was extremely well furnished and equipped. The Wifi was excellent and we were able to watch Netflix so the kids were happy. We did lots of walks straight from the house, and had dinner at the London Inn (excellent) and Clipper Cafe which was also good. The fish and chips from the local chippy were also excellent, but beware that eateries are not open on all nights....
