A beautiful setting in Devon. The house sits on a gorgeous plot surrounded by rolling hills and a super garden. We had three families in the house, 6 adults and 7 children and there was plenty of space for us all to not feel on top of each other. Kitchen had plenty of pots and pans to cook and two large dining tables. The house is functional albeit a little tired but was clean and tidy. The only two little niggles i…

We had a great stay at the house. The house is exactly as the pictures portray with one exception – the balcony photo is not as good as the real thing! It’s a lovely spot to sit outside. Well furnished, well equipped and well located. Large bedrooms, great bathrooms and spacious and light living area – everything was as described/photographed

The Brambles was a nice residence for me in Devon. Paul and wife were at hand to help with any issues. The place is well kept. They showed me the local Tesco for food and pointed me to the bus service in the area saving me transport money. I highly recommend their place to others visiting this part of Devon. They offered me a complimentary bottle of wine which was really nice during the weekend. William

We actually couldn’t quite believe how incredible the view of the River Dart was from the living room and the master bedroom. Absolutely stunning. We brought our binoculars and loved being able to see all the boats coming and going and to watch the dinghy racing right in front of us. Really clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in the garage was great. The shops and restaurants are a …

This place is incredible. Don’t be put off by the location and the country lanes. It is well worth it. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing place I’ve ever stayed, and is so well decorated and furnished. Lovely touches including a bottle of wine on arrival! The location is really not that difficult especially once you’ve done it the first time. If are you from the UK like ourselves and are used to country la…

We had a great stay and would definitely go back! It’s a lovely, modern house with gorgeous views and is on a farm (so great for kids to see the tractors / cows / pigs in the mornings!). A friendly cat visited us all the time too. It’s so close to the beach at Torcross (and the Start Bay Inn for great fish and chips) and well located for Salcombe / Dartmouth etc. The two bathrooms were really useful. The only things…

“Situated on the beach it was great to be able to pop back to the cottage – ideal when you have 2 kids and a dog! Local farm shop was fab for groceries and the Start Bay Inn was reliable for some nice evening food and drinks. Torcross is a beautiful place and the cottage allowed for an enjoyable and peaceful break”.

Paul always communicated well with my queries. I would recommend using the postcode to find the property as the road name didn’t work. The property is down a very quiet country lane – one of those very narrow, grass growing in the middle country lanes. It was easy to get into and when you do you’ll find a very clean and spacious property. The layout worked well for us in that we were in the kingsize ensuite on the g…

Perfect location for exploring the area. Parked in Steamboat quay car park and you can pay by phone remotely so very easy. Comfortable home for two people.
