I can't say enough about how wonderful Shelduck cottage is. It's obvious from the photos that the setting is amazing, and right above the beach, but the photos really don't do the cuteness of the actual cottage itself, justice. There are so, so many thoughtful touches throughout that Sam and his family have added, like multiple breakfast cereals, and chocolates by the bedside with handwritten notes, to the "calm" spray - appreciated when dealing with angst-ridden teenagers (eye-roll). Everything about the place was perfect. The gorgeous outdoor spaces means that even if you've a full house you can spread out to the little nooks and crannies in the garden, so everyone can have their own "room". And then there's the little private path down to the beach, right from the garden. I felt like I was in an Enid Blyton children's book! Sam is incredibly responsive, without being in any way invasive. All in all, I think Shelduck is my favorite Airbnb to date. And I can't wait to go back!
