Great stay at Hideaway Cottage. Paul, our host, was great and ensured we had all we needed for easy access to the property. The cottage is a home from home. Well equipped in a chocolate box quaint South Devon village. Just 5 minute stroll to the 12th Century Pub. You can walk circular routes from the front door including the fantastic Burgh Island. Don’t underestimate the narrow roads so suggest you try and avoid si…

We had a very relaxing stay at Pippin Barn. Sufficiency out of the way but close enough to everything. It’s a great get away from it location with nice 3.5 mile circular walk from the door. Spotlessly clean well presented and well equipped. Thanks Devon Escapes

A great place to stay if you’re wanting to explore Dartmouth! Only a 10 minute walk down into the centre. Lovely and clean, a great view of Dartmouth on the decking, super spacious bedrooms. Lots of stairs to climb to get inside, although we had a 6 month old baby and 3 year old with us and managed just fine.
