“Oh wow, this place is a gem! Both the actual cottage but also location, the village, takeaway options, a seal swimming almost under the window a few times a day….just beautiful”.

We had a wonderful stay at Higher Venice – a stunning, spacious country house ideal for a large family gathering. Set in the beautiful Devon countryside, the surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, with a lovely garden perfect for both relaxation and family fun. The house is full of charm and well-equipped with everything we needed. Its location is perfect – secluded and tranquil, yet just a short drive from Dart…

Perfect venue for large family gathering – room choices were great. Immaculate presentation with all mod cons. Amazing views and location. Would advise travelling light as the steps down and up to the house are not for the faint hearted and there is no parking outside the property. All being said – we would definitely come back and stay – lovely!

Would recommend to anyone, the view was fantastic and the place was very cosy. We only had one issue with the hot tub which was our mistake in not reading correctly that it would not be ready on the first day, other than that it was perfectly suited for our needs. Thank you!

This property has been finished to an extremely high standard and didn’t disappoint in any way. The views of Dartmouth are amazing and, being tucked away, is really quiet and secluded. The castle is only a short walk away as is the coastal path if you like walking. Dartmouth town is only 15mins or so by foot. I would certainly like to return in the future.

“What an amazing apartment. Beautifully presented and well equipped. Stunning views from the lounge and both bedrooms across the river and of Kingswear. We could not find fault with this accommodation and will definitely stay again on our next visit to Dartmouth”

Stargazy was just as fantastic as it looks in the photos. it’s extremely well-equipped and had everything we needed. Everything was clean and comfy. What really stood out was the amazing location, and stunning views across the front of the house. I had a lovely birthday weekend here and would highly recommend.
