Feb 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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. ##### Beverley W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Neva Oct 9, 2018 #### 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. ##### Neva
