Fantastic location and a beautiful sea view. Very comfortable beds and easy access to the beach and Start Bay Inn for food and drink. Great place to relax. Parking can be a bit of a juggle to get a free space but they do tend to turn over quickly so wasn’t a problem for us.

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…

We have just returned from 4 beautiful nights away at Tower House in Dartmouth. The accommodation was even better than the pictures and as there was only two of us, we had more than enough space. The added bonus was the weather and the lovely balcony on which we spent most evening having our dinner after days out exploring Devon. Paul was very quick to answer all my questions before we arrived, which made our stay e…
