Absolutely beautiful little cottage. Perfect for a little family getaway with the grandparents and our 1 year old. Very quiet and private.

A fabulous house in a beautiful location. It really did have a luxury feel. A very well stocked kitchen with everything you would need for cooking your own meals. Very comfortable beds and good showers. Our favourite thing was the balcony and the gorgeous view across the rooftops of Dartmouth down to the boats on the front. Excellent location, just a few minutes walk down into the town and front. Best thing is can s…

“Just the perfect spot in Dartmouth. Amazing views of the Dart & had everything we needed for a weekend break. Located right in the heart of town close to some lovely restaurants & pubs. Paul was helpful throughout & the check in procedure was very smooth. The Cabin sits atop a lovely cafe where you can pick up pastries & coffee in the morning in a matter of seconds! We both said we wished we could have stayed longe…

A great home, well suited to families. We were 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs and had loads of space. The garden is huge and fantastic to play around, there is also a BBQ to use and lots of board games plus the table tennis table to keep everyone entertained on rainy days. Longish walk to the beach but great location close to both Thurlestone and Batham Beaches.

This place is a beautiful bijou cottage situated just off the high street, so extremely close to all of central Totnes’ shops and cafes. It was really clean and beautifully decorated, and remarkably quiet given the centrality. We’d have loved some very basic toiletries – soap and shampoo perhaps, which we enquired about once there but didn’t get a reply for – but otherwise felt very well provided for. Holidaymakers …

We very much enjoyed staying here. Kingswear is quieter than Dartmouth itself and has all you need (in terms of a couple of great pubs, lovely coffee place, a very useful convenience shop) – though you will end up spending some cash going back and forth across the Dart using the ferry. The flat has all amenities and is well looked after. We did feel the need to water the houseplants however ;). The lack of parking i…

Very nice villa and very luxurious, and it was very clean. It will definitely be our option every time we come to Dartmouth. Really liked it and they were so nice and the instructions were very easy to find the villa although the road was closed, but they made it very easy to find it We reached late at night and it was raining but thanks to clear instructions. We find the villa and we really enjoyed it. Our family r…
