Arrived a bit early & cleaners just finishing off so went for a short walk. Place was spotless. Comfy beds and nice bed linen. Bit of miscommunication regarding coffee makers as id read the Nespresso machine was no longer at property, messaged Paul to ask & he said it wasn’t there so I said I’d bring my cafetière. When we arrived there were already 2 at the property. Bit of a walk into town ( especially on way back …

“What a fantastic find! If you’re looking for a beach house with tremendous access and convenience, you really can’t do better. We absolutely loved our stay and are already talking about when we can return. The upper terrace on the garden was wonderful and private and the children adored playing mixologists in the bar. The beach was completely perfect and between the offerings of Burgh Island and the beach cafe, we …

This was a magical short break for our extended family. A beautiful house set in magnificent grounds which the photos really don’t do justice. The five children in our group all loved discovering the hidden garden and the pathways surrounding the property. All rooms were tastefully decorated, large and many, especially the big conservatory, with its wide opening doors, have superb views of the South Hams hillsides. …

“Provided an excellent base for our reunion. Very comfortable and homely house. Loved all the artwork. Kitchen is stocked with anything you might need. Spotlessly clean and beds very comfortable with quality bedding and pillows. Could not have asked for more. As stated in description parking is limited to one car behind property – a mere minute walk. The price you pay for being so close to Totnes which was 10 mins w…

The most amazing and charming cottage. We had the best time staying at Cider Cottage for Christmas with our two children. The cottage was clean, tidy, well equipped with all cooking utensils and a Christmas tree was even provided, which was a lovely touch. The only small improvement we would suggest is to have a full pack of logs on arrival as we were only left with three and these were burnt in an hour or two with…

Excellent value for money for a short break to our mum’s birthplace Devon. Lodge was very comfortable with everything you need. Fab views and peaceful setting. Great selection of restaurants in Dartmouth. Would recommend Rockfish for fresh seafood and trips to both Blackpool and Slapton Sands which was the location of the tragic Exercise Tiger practice for D-Day landings. We will be back to continue the journey of o…
