What a great place to stay! Made a weekend away with 4 under 6s so much easier. Loved the table tennis and games room not to mention the super garden for football and runaround games. All rooms immaculate and well appointed. The huge living space is such an advantage with all those comfy sofas. All that and only an 8 minute walk to The Village Inn. What’s not to love! We will definitely go back.

Cedar House is a beautiful property with space for 8 people. Well fitted out with thoughtful touches. It is located in the lovely village of Stoke Fleming, with a great pub and Italian restaurant within a few minutes walk. The beautiful shingle beach at Blackpool Sands is about 15 mins walk on the coast path (fairly steep on the way back!)

Amazing house, perfect for our family trip. Access to the property is through a very narrow walled drive way which would not be suitable for all cars so bear this in mind. Great location just a short drive or bus trip to Dartmouth. 20 minute walk to Blackpool Sands beach or via the bus which is very quick. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of fridge/freezer space.

“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”.

An excellent stay in this apartment in the centre of Dartmouth. Very handy to have the parking permit and everything is within walking distance. The apartment is maintained and equipped to a very high standard making it a comfortable home away from home.

The property was a great place to stay while we enjoyed a few days in Totnes. The property had everything we needed, was spotless and in a peaceful location, yet just steps from the bustle of Totnes and the various restaurants, pubs and cafes. We would definitely stay here again.

This stunning apartment with breathtaking views is such an ideal place to stay in the heart of Dartmouth. Blow away with the apartment and the views over the river. The apartment itself is finished to a high end luxury finish.

Superb property with top quality fixtures and fittings. Super clean light and airy. Pristine white bedding and towels although we expected regular soap and shampoo rather than the gimmicky boxed pads! Thank you so much for replacing the one feather quilt with a synthetic quilt. This was very much appreciated although despite the description we personally felt the beds were standard doubles not King size. The kitchen…
