Cute cottage

Charming location close to town centre. There is a wide variety of restaurants all within walking distance. The property itself was as per description and photographs. All needs for catering, cooking and entertainment were very well provided.

Great Location

Hillingden is in a great location, within walking distance to the pier as well as shops and restaurants. It comfortably fitted our family of five. Overall we enjoyed our stay, although there were just a few things like the front lounge room and double bedroom were very cold, the dryer didn't work and there was no inside broom. The furniture could have been a bit more comfortable. The kitchen was well set up though and the surrounding gardens were lovely.
