Great little cabin. Exceptionally clean and well appointed. Woke to bird song each day. Loved the log fire. Perfect if you want to get away from it all. It is a remote location and difficult to get about with the dreaded Devon lanes surrounding it, but if you want peace, you will find it here. Good luck finding the microwave and washing machine! It’s there….just not where you might expect!

“This is a magical home with the most beautiful view of the sea entrance to Dartmouth. Couldn’t have asked for better weather in December waking up to blue skies and sunshine. It’s worth the journey once you navigate all the steps and luggage down to Paul’s place. Would come again and bring more guests as there is plenty of room here for a big group. Love all the balconies and different levels of the house. Having a…

This place is ideal for a short break in Totnes. We loved the convenience and centrality although it is tucked away on a side street. Totnes is full of great eateries and independent shops and there are lots of things round and about to do too. High points were eating at fine dining “Gather” restaurant where the emphasis is on foraged and local food and Coleton Fishacre NT house and garden. Thanks for the individual…

Spotless house and well equipped with everything we needed, but not so full that u couldn’t store anything which I’ve found with a lot of previous places. Lovely space and nicely furnished. Garden was beautiful, not that we got to enjoy it because of the weather unfortunately. Great parking on drive and brilliant to have the utility space for wet coats and wellies. We walked down the hill into town and to the lovely…

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Higher Venice for my mother’s 60th Birthday. Plenty of room for us all as a party of 7 adults, 5 children and 2 dogs. Lovely views and a very quiet location. Property was very clean and had all amenities required including a nice patio and BBQ area. A great base from which to explore this beautiful part of Devon”.

I had an amazing stay at this lodge! The home was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect – close to everything I needed but still quiet and relaxing. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in and check-out a breeze. I really appreciated that the host kindly allowed me a late check-out when I asked – thank you for that! The little touches like fresh towe…
