This place was just incredible!! My friends and I were so impressed and the photos really don’t do it justice. We had a fantastic time and there was so much to do! The property itself was incredibly well maintained and clean. The kitchen and living area is large and spacious and the back garden with the bar area was great for bbqs. I will definitely be returning soon!

I stayed at Hideaway cottage for three nights with my son, and we couldn’t fault it at all! Stunning cottage with everything you could need for a break away! Beautiful sleepy village, a stones throw away from the beach. The cottage is compact, but my 6ft 3inch son managed it, you just have to remember to watch out for the low beams. You’ll only hit your head once believe me. The fresh white bedlinen and towels provi…

“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…

A lovely spacious townhouse for our family group of five, with everything we wanted for a break. For outside space there’s a pretty seating spot under a Gingko tree outside the open plan kitchen / dinning room and up steps at the rear of the house is a sun trap terrace with views over the town. A big advantage is having a parking space in Dartmouth, as we understood walking around this very pretty coastal town of ho…

Really lovely property, beautifully decorated. Perfect base for short break. We did not struggle to park on the road near the property, but did not then move the car. Very convenient for all local shops, bars and restaurants. Lacking wine glasses (all mismatched). I would imagine the living area would be very squashed if fully occupied, fine for two of us and dog. The TV connectivity also poor, programme lagged badl…

We spent a fabulous week at 3 cottage which was the perfect base for exploring South Devon. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. We would definitely recommend it.

Positives: car park pass/comfortable bed/powerful shower. Suggestions: have a mirror near a power socket/reserve table at breakfast for guests (if guests give time for breakfast ‘slot’ table would be available to the public outside these times – we foolishly went down around 10am and would have faced a 30 min wait to be seated. My suggestion – get down by 7am, Alf Fresco is hugely popular with the public (right…
