Highly recommend for those seeking a luxurious, well-equipped getaway!

“This is a characterful, quaint studio apartment, at the very top of a house right in the heart of Dartmouth, above a bustling and delicious café. The views across the estuary are unrivalled. The furnishings are characterful, the kitchen basic but does the job for a simple meal and ideal for a sunset drink and nibbles on the little balcony which is in the best possible place”.

Perfect location with great view over the river. Comfortable sofas and beds. Easy reach of South Coast path, ferry, station, pubs and local shop.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. After wet beach walks we enjoyed warming up in front of the log burner watching a film. A really peaceful location and we felt right at home and comfortable straight away. Location was great for exploring neighbouring towns, beaches and amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

“In a great position for walking to all the shops, restaurants and many lovely coffee shops. Being able to get delicious coffee from 2 minutes around the corner was a real bonus and there is a pub almost next door. It’s also only a 10 minute walk to a lovely cafe near the quayside car park that had really friendly staff, a great cappuccino and outside seating with lovely views along the river. The flat was spotlessl…

“We were looking for beach front and this was certainly that. An idyllic home in a beautiful location. Amazing to hear the sea all the time. There is a local coffee shop, chip shop restaurant/ takeaway. The nearby farm shop was a great find. This home in a beautiful location was just perfect to explore surrounding south Devon coastal walks and beaches”.
