Guests say
Royal Standard House in Shaldon is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, prime location, and comfort. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities and the property's proximity to restaurants, cafes, and the beach. The spaciousness and decor are also highlights, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but overall, the property offers a delightful stay.
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with only one mention of the hot tub being low on water and murky, which seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is highly praised for its convenience to the village, beach, and ferry, with only a slight concern regarding limited parking for multiple cars.
Guests find the property comfortable and welcoming, with comfortable beds and ample space. One issue with bed configuration for a guest with reduced mobility slightly impacts this otherwise positive feedback.
The house is well-equipped with kitchen utensils and towels, and guests enjoyed the hot tub. However, there were reports of a non-working tumble dryer, a missing door handle, and low hot tub water, indicating some maintenance needs.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.

Mr Woodhouse
Loads of room, even for a large party, everything you need if you plan to cook, stairs if you’re getting on a bit might be an issue, otherwise excellent.
