Beautiful location with wonderful views. Ideally situated with local amenities conveniently situated. Not easy for those with walking difficulties as there are steep steps down to the property.

That aside this is a very nice home to enjoy whatever the weather with picture windows and rap around terraces

Absolutely gorgeous flat, brilliantly located in the centre of Totnes. Loved sitting in the sunny living room & kitchen! Bed & pillows were super comfy. I would have appreciated handsoap in the bathroom, and cooking oil in the kitchen, being provided. Would happily stay here again

We had a wonderful stay in the cabin. It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. We had an amazing stay in the cabin, thank you! The cabin had everything we needed and the bottle of wine was a very nice surprise! Thank you for the flexibility with the check in and out times.

Beautiful location and view. Can’t beat hearing the sound of the ocean from inside the place. Beds were comfy and nice water pressure in the shower. Clear instructions and friendly host to communicate with. Would stay again. Thank you for the nice experience!

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
