We had a great time here despite the weather not being the best. The house had everything we needed, although a bbq would be nice, particularly if it had been warmer. We enjoyed seeing the animals and being so remote the stars on a clear night were amazing and we were treated to a wonderful rainbow against the beautiful Devon hills one evening. Once you get used to the narrow roads everywhere is accessible and we ma…

Our stay was a perfect base for a family holiday. The nearness of the beach a definite asset especially when you have a 3 year old with you! You could easily pop back if something had been forgotten. Despite the time of year we had glorious weather; it seems to have it’s own micro climate which left us mostly sunny and dry whilst most other places had rain? This enabled the extended family to gather for evening meal…

The property is located in an extremely beautiful and peaceful area, surrounded by nature in every direction, creating a truly relaxing and calming atmosphere. The house was clean, well prepared for guests, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A particularly lovely touch was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, which we appreciated greatly, especially as we were travel…

We had a lovely stay here as a group of friends – the views from the back of the property are absolutely stunning. The place was very clean and tidy which we appreciated and the welcome guide was helpful. We did feel that for the price paid, it was a shame that there weren’t enough tea bags/ sugar sachets for everyone to have even one cup of tea during the stay, or enough dishwasher tablets as we cooked a couple of …

We had the best time staying at higher venice, the farmhouse was beautiful and perfect for our big family Christmas, the house was so lovely and warm, the rooms were very big and clean and tidy, the grounds were beautiful, we would definitely love to come back in the summer to enjoy the beautiful settings.Thank you for a lovely break away for Christmas.

The photos of this place don’t actually do it justice! Such a beautiful home with the most incredible views. We had to park in the main car park and then walk to the house which I’m sure would have been less stressful if we didn’t have a lot of bags, but we managed! We would honestly come and stay here again. Watching the boats from the top window was so peaceful!

Great house for a weekend break, the location means you have parking. Beds were very comfy and great to have a garden in Dartmouth

Location fantastic with stunning elevated views of the estuary. The pretty front garden has 2 seating areas to enjoy the panoramic views. Living room and 2 bedrooms (1 compact single and one spacious double) have lovely bay window views. Dining area to rear of living room limited for space with seating for more than 4 tricky. Odd L shaped kitchen to rear is rudimentary and a little unpractical but has dishwasher, sm…
