Excellent stay at The Cabin. Beautifully clean and organised. Greeted by the Christmas tree twinkle lights,decorations around the cabin and lovely bottle of wine. Very well equipped, great layout and surrounded by trees and ferns. Comfortable beds with lovely linens and towels. The only thing I can add is maybe a microwave? Would love to stay again. Thanks team ‘The Cabin’

The house was as described and has been tastefully and stylishly refurbished. There are lots of steps from the parking space, but didn’t worry us. The terrace was a lovely sun trap. The house is a short walk into Dartmouth, which is a lovely town. Lots of good restaurants and independent shops.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The flat was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. It is just a short walk away from the lovely town-centre of Dartmouth, which has so much to offer. The information and instructions are clear and helpful. We would happily return.

This place is in an amazing location right next to the sea, couldn’t get any closer. Lovely accommodation with everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable stay. Gorgeous walks on the door step, incredible views and great pubs and restaurants would highly recommend. Thanks Paul for our amazing stay. Would definitely return.

“We were looking for beach front and this was certainly that. An idyllic home in a beautiful location. Amazing to hear the sea all the time. There is a local coffee shop, chip shop restaurant/ takeaway. The nearby farm shop was a great find. This home in a beautiful location was just perfect to explore surrounding south Devon coastal walks and beaches”.

Had the most wonderful stay at Stargazy! Beautiful views, right near the beach, sitting on the balcony with the sun shining and just relaxing! The bar area outside was great fun too. The house has everything you need and all the little extra touches made it more homely. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend x

We have just returned from a 4 night break at Cedar House and absolutely loved it. The house was absolutely spotless and had every single thing you could wish for. It was lovely and cozy and really spacious and we cannot recommend it highly enough. Location wise it was perfect for local sightseeing and beaches and the Italian restaurant that’s a minute walk away was amazing. Paul was really responsive and all his in…

“Situated on the beach it was great to be able to pop back to the cottage – ideal when you have 2 kids and a dog! Local farm shop was fab for groceries and the Start Bay Inn was reliable for some nice evening food and drinks. Torcross is a beautiful place and the cottage allowed for an enjoyable and peaceful break”.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Tremorvah. The windows let in a lot of light and the views were beautiful. It was great watching the activity on the water. We were very impressed by the apartment, everything was of top quality and spotlessly clean, you couldn’t wish for more. Shops and restaurants were not too far to walk to, with lovely views over the river/estuary. We would love to return sometime in the future. …
