The barn is really lovely, tucked away on a small farm. The bedroom is a mezzanine with the bed near the floor and a very low ceiling, sloping in on both sides. It’s quite an awkward space to move around in.

Amazing 5 nights stay at this beautifully furnished new property. Incredible location with panoramic views of the river and harbour. 20 mins walk to the town – a bit far for some people maybe but we wanted a quieter spot. Clean and comfortable bedrooms, modern kitchen with top of the line appliances, complementary coffee was a nice touch, good quality linen and toiletries. Great secure parking space. Paul was friend…

“We had a great stay at the lodge! It is beautifully decorated, and has everything we needed for a family with children. The lodge was spotless on arrival, and we appreciated the wine left to welcome us, plus all the good supply of toiletries for us to use during our stay. We loved coming back to such a cosy space after our days out in the cold – the log burner was great, and the cabin was lovely and warm for the du…

The most beautiful property! The view from house was spectacular, the whole house was decorated beautifully. You couldn’t find a better spot up the River Dart to watch the boats go by and the sun rise. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A fabulous house in a beautiful location. It really did have a luxury feel. A very well stocked kitchen with everything you would need for cooking your own meals. Very comfortable beds and good showers. Our favourite thing was the balcony and the gorgeous view across the rooftops of Dartmouth down to the boats on the front. Excellent location, just a few minutes walk down into the town and front. Best thing is can s…

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. …
