Great location! Lovely and spacious apartment. The kitchen was a bit cramped with five people at the table. The living room was spacious and comfortable with a lovely view and evening sun. The ferry to Dartmouth is very close and runs very frequently (7am-11pm). We took the Round Robin ferry to Totnes, a lovely trip. Totnes itself was very nice, and we visited the castle. It’s a nice town with lovely shops too. We t…

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 highly recommend this place — truly a home away from home. The apartment is beautifully designed and exceptionally clean, with thoughtful attention to every detail. The bedding and pillows offer a luxurious, hotel-like feel, and the kitchen is well-equipped with high-quality utensils and appliances. We especially appreciated the lovely welcome pack, which included tea, coffee, sugar, jam — and even toys for th…

What a truly breathtaking property. The pictures just don’t match up to the wow factor when you walk in. Of course the unbelievable views help , but the house itself is beautiful! Right on the river , we could have stayed on the balcony for the whole weekend just relaxing and enjoying the view. Location was fabulous, beds were comfortable, and the house was spacious and I loved how it was on different levels so you …

Perfectly located in the heart of Dartmouth, yet quiet and peaceful. Apartment had everything you’d need for a lovely getaway although there was so much to see and do we didn’t spend much time there at all (which was sad as the place is beautifully decorated!). We appreciated the fact that everything was within walking distance, including great restaurants and the local Co-op was a few minutes walk away for fridge e…

The lodge is perfect in every way. Stunning surroundings and beautiful sunsets. The lodge was extremely clean and comfortable and had everything that we needed (it would be good to have liquid soap provided in the bathrooms for hand washing as we didn’t think to bring this) and we cooked on a few evenings. The lodge is beautifully laid out and we immediately felt at home. It was a great extra having the clubhouse wi…
