Shangri-La Reviews

Very comfortable, with lots of kitchen equipment, good parking facilities Initial advert listed 3 bathrooms but house had one on suite bathroom on top floor plus an additional toilet but only one bathroom on ground floor plus an additional toilet. Six guests used downstairs bathroom, two used on suite facilities When you read the list of facilities it is a little clearer but 3 bathrooms means rooms with baths. Whoever looks after the rental needs to checkreplace several chipped cups and plates. Garden maintenance needs a lot of attention, the pond is completely enclosed with liliesweed, and nothing like the advertised photo

A great place to stay with an extended family. Loved the hot tub! Large lounge area with lots of comfy seating for everyone. The kitchen was well equipped and the extra fridge and extra freezer was a bonus especially for longer stays. The pool table was well used by all the family. Thanks for a great stay.

Carolyn L.

The property was very comfortable and well stocked with furniture and so on. If l was picky a shower room room would have been nice as l have slight mobility issues. To the owner thank you very much for a beautiful house to holiday in.

We had a lovely holiday and would recommend the accommodation. One small issue the freezer in the kitchen was completely frozen inside, we had to spend a lot of time scrapping all the ice out in order to free the drawers.

Excellent house for family holidaying together. Everything we needed and more. Hot tub was a great bonus. Great views of the river,great sunsets.Plenty of places to visit we had great days out at Clovelly and Ilfracombe.

Lovely well equipped house in a very quiet safe area with a lovely veiw of the estuary and Bideford . Great location for trips to Cornwall and the coast . Had A Great Christmas there. Great comunication between the owner and myself before and during our trip. Bedrooms down stairs were a bit on the chilly side , only downside.

When I booked Shangrila, I was under the impression that there were two rooms with Onsuite, so it was a surprise when the three bedrooms downstairs had to share the same bathroom it made ablutions interesting! ! The radiator in the downstairs room with a sliding door was problematical which made the room cold more often than not, we stayed at a particularly cold snap!! I cleaned out the fridges but the deep freeze was very frozen up on arrival so may need some housekeeping. The equipment in the kitchen was of a very high standard, I used to have a similar Mange manager Gas range , we tried not to cook too much as it was a break..The views were spectacular, particularly with the Christmas lights in Bideford town ,the hot tub was wonderful overall a very comfortable house and stay.

Lovely property in a lovely location. Shangrila is ideally positioned for days out to various places of interest such as Ilfracombe,wolacombe ,clovelly, bude just to name a few.The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and thought how clean and tidy everything was on our arrival for us ! The house was nicer than we had expected Even the housekeeper was extremely helpful to us when we contacted them and answered us back straight away! Loved the position of the property as could walk into town, beaches and outlets centre. Great cycling and lots of restaurants and pubs near by Only used the car to get to Westward ho ! Only thing extra would suggest is a portable drying rack to be able to hang out washing to dry as the one inside wasnt big enough for all of us to dry towels and washing on especially as we had a young baby with us

We enjoyed our stay at your property, however, there are a few things that were really disappointing. The first one is in the downstairs bedrooms, there is no where to hang any clothes, which meant living out of bags of clothes all week. The second was the appalling state of the washing machine drawer. This was full of mold I will email photos separately. I had to purchase rubber gloves and washing machine cleaner to scrub this out before I could use it. This was really disappointing to find a piece of essential equipment in that state. The third is the rubbishrecycling. When we arrived the rubbish bins were already full as well as two of the recycling crates. We put out the recycling as requested, however, the rubbish wasnt collected that week so when we left there were black rubbish bags left on top of the bins. For a commercial holiday property I wouldnt expect the rubbish responsibility to be left to whoever is staying that week because it is not pleasant to have to deal with other peoples rubbish when youre on holiday.

Rachel

Absolutely loved this house, we were 3 generations of family holidaying together and the space was fantastic. The only suggested points for improvement would be, bathroom door locks need attention, several of us caught our fingers in the bolts, the noise level from upstairs when your downstairs can be a little loud, maybe some rugs?? Otherwise amazing space, great support and comms from agent and house, garden and hot tub were fabulous. Thank you.

Wonderful property, Minor point would be only missing wardrobe space for clothing in all bedrooms on ground floor.

Michael

All in all a wonderful time was had by all. The only slight niggle is the early check out time of 0900 which is unusually early by all previous stays at various cottages. Usual times for check out are between 10 and 11.

Very nice clean property with excellent views

Really needs another shower room if 8 people stay

Lauren

A fantastic week spent at the ShangriLa! A wonderful house in a great location. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything you could need. We could not fault our stay!

A great stay in a lovely property, location was perfect, with everything you would need for your stay. Just one suggestion, would be to replace the table tennis table with a Pool table but just a visitor preference.
