Great little cottage. Nice and cool downstairs in the extreme heat. Loved the garden at the end of the path. Nice and quiet. Ayrmer Cove a little gem. Handy parking with the garage a short distance down the road. Took a gamble on this one as we had not visited this part of Devon before but turned out to be a great stay. Thanks.

Amazing weekend stay for my mums 60th birthday! The accommodation was exactly as pictured, very clean and came with lots of homely extras that you don’t always get! Instructions and communication all very clear! 5 minute drive down into the beautiful town of Dartmouth, with lovely places to eat or just a general stunning walk around. We added the hot tub and it was just perfect!

Had a wonderful stay at this place in Dartmouth. Location was the standout. 2 minute walk to shops and restaurants, 5 minutes to parking and to the waterfront. Clean, well-stocked, and great communication from Paul. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Torcross is the most beautiful place – even after the recent storm damage (and in fact the village needs supporting now more than ever) – in the most beautiful surroundings. This Airbnb is fantastic, with the most incredible view from the first floor window. Worth the price alone! It was such a joy sitting on the sofa watching the waves, both on sunny days and cloudy ones.

We had a lovely break in Kingswear, visiting local National Trust venues, a river trip on the Dart and meals out. The apartment was very spacious. The sitting room was light with comfortable seating and a magnificent view over the dart. The kitchen provided everything we needed and was well stocked with crockery and an excellent Nespresso coffee machine. The table was adequate for four people. The beds and pillows w…

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…

We very much enjoyed our stay at Hideaway in Ringmore. The thatched cottage is an absolute delight, cleverly converted to the highest standard of design, decor and comfort. Equipped with all you need for a perfect stay with a few added twists to make it a home from home. Even a little pretty rear garden with table and chairs. The charming village pub, unfortunately closed Mondays and Tuesdays is a short walk aw…
