Another wonderful stay at Spindrift. The house is light and airy, equipped with everything you could possibly need for a week. The living area is spacious and comfortable. Bedrooms are bright with beautiful bathrooms. Our dogs love the garden which wraps around and is completely secure. The weather was gorgeous and so the bbq came in very handy. Paul was very friendly and helpful in his communication. Hopefully we w…

My family and I had a fantastic time. The house and location are stunning. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The views are amazing. And Ted, our dog, loved walking to the castle and fort above. Perfect!

Spotless house and well equipped with everything we needed, but not so full that u couldn’t store anything which I’ve found with a lot of previous places. Lovely space and nicely furnished. Garden was beautiful, not that we got to enjoy it because of the weather unfortunately. Great parking on drive and brilliant to have the utility space for wet coats and wellies. We walked down the hill into town and to the lovely…

Pear Tree Lodge was so homely, with a stunning garden, peaceful and with comfy beds. It’s in a quiet location but very walkable and close to the estuary and Kingsbridge. The South Hams are stunning 🏝️ A little gem of a place. 💎

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!

We had such a fantastic stay here – probably our favourite Devon spot to date – the kids loved staying at The Hen House, being right on the farm and being greeted by the sheep and getting to see the calves. The space was perfect for us with 3 kids, very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Everything had been thought of and we were in an ideal location, close to so many beautiful beaches and attractions – we …

I had an incredible stay at this charming Airbnb apartment in Totnes! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the centrum, with easy access to local shops and cafes. The apartment itself is cozy, clean, and equipped with everything I needed to work remotely for the week. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which made my workdays smooth and stress-free. The host was very responsive and flexible regarding check-in…

I spent the weekend with friends at a modern luxury property in Dartmouth, set right on the river within a striking new building, and it was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the quality and attention to detail were evident. The architecture is contemporary yet beautifully in keeping with Dartmouth’s coastal elegance, with large glass panels framing uninterrupted views across the river. Watc…

“We loved the Hen House and it was spotless. It was perfect for our family of 4 and would easily and comfortably host 3 kids with parents. We had amazing weather and spent several days at Bantham Beach, a day at Start Point and a day at Woodlands theme park. The farm was great fun for the kids – they saw newborn calves, collected duck eggs and climbed hay bales with Albert. Thank you – we had the most fantastic stay…
