We had such a wonderful stay at this cottage, it was truly amazing. From the moment we arrived, it felt warm, welcoming, and instantly relaxing. It’s the perfect place to unwind and switch off. The accommodation itself was fantastic, with everything thoughtfully set up to make our stay comfortable. Devon is such a special place, and this cottage really lets you enjoy it to the fullest, especially if you’re bringing …

What a great place to stay! Made a weekend away with 4 under 6s so much easier. Loved the table tennis and games room not to mention the super garden for football and runaround games. All rooms immaculate and well appointed. The huge living space is such an advantage with all those comfy sofas. All that and only an 8 minute walk to The Village Inn. What’s not to love! We will definitely go back.

Very spacious townhouse, extremely well equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable with lovely white bedding. Very convenient location above the town in Dartmouth, but it is a fair walk down down the hill and then back up again. The area was quiet and it was great to have parking outside the house. The parking directly in front of the house will only take a small car but then there is a spa…

We’ve just returned from a lovely short break at Dart Loft. It is a very nice apartment very centrally located within easy reach of the lovely shops and numerous restaurants and pubs in Dartmouth. The apartment is very well equipped with very comfortable beds and nice bedding and also hot and powerful showers. A couple of issues, a handrail is needed for the second flight of stairs up to the apartment and also the s…

“Great host and property. Fully equipped en-suite. You have sink in the room and a kitchenette section (fridge/microwave/toaster) ideal for working professionals. You have easily adjustable heating and super quick warming up in the evenings (probably well insulated), free parking, nice modern shower, dim lights (nice touch) and above all flooring instead of carpets which make it even better. Highly recommend and wil…

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…

Positives: car park pass/comfortable bed/powerful shower. Suggestions: have a mirror near a power socket/reserve table at breakfast for guests (if guests give time for breakfast ‘slot’ table would be available to the public outside these times – we foolishly went down around 10am and would have faced a 30 min wait to be seated. My suggestion – get down by 7am, Alf Fresco is hugely popular with the public (right…
