We had a fantastic stay at Wells Park Barn. Paul was a great host and provided all the information needed for the stay and responded quickly to any questions. The barn was lovely and provided plenty of room for two families. Very comfortable and in a stunning location.

Pretty upside down cottage in the middle of old Totnes. The cottage is hidden down a narrow alley just off the high street. Be aware that it can be pretty dark at night but there were motion detection lights that flickered on as you walked through. Lovely décor and a gorgeous countryside view in the living room off the little balcony. Everything provided for excep for hand and body soap so bring your own. Great flat…

Cedar House is a very special property in a beautiful part of South Devon. It was perfect for our family holiday spanning three generations. The accommodation is generous, tastefully furnished and decorated, with comfortable bedrooms and more than adequate showers/ bathrooms. The kitchen/dining area is spacious and well equipped – we had several family meals including a high chair, with plenty of room to move around…

We had a fantastic stay at The Cabin. Lots of narrow roads to get to it, but the instructions given were very helpful! The Cabin itself is beautiful. It was very peaceful and private. It was very clean and had everything we need. As a family of 6 we were at full capacity, but we still had plenty of space. The kids loved going up to the meadow for a little fire and marshmallow toasting. There is so much to do in unde…

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…

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. It was well equipped with everything you need. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. The location is peaceful and great for exploring local beaches, making it a good base for days out. Communication throughout the booking process and with any queries about the property was prompt and helpful, which was really appreciated. Overall, we’d happily stay again. Th…

This is a very spacious property in a great location to explore Devon. The house is extremely well provisioned – the kitchen in particular has everything you need. Very clean, lovely garden for sitting out on an evening. Parking on the property was invaluable and easy.

Lovely private development surrounded by lovely countryside. A great base not too fussy but with everything you need in a property. Location great for walks, quirky pubs, and more than one local beach. Very dog friendly too.

“We had a wonderful stay at Tremorvah, a lovely flat in such a tranquil and beautiful location. Must be one of the best views in Dartmouth! The flat is a short walk from the town centre and also walking distance from the Castle by the estuary and the little tea rooms (very friendly). A beautiful space, stylish interior design, a well equipped kitchen, very spacious master bedroom, all rooms with the same lovely view…
