Torcross is the most beautiful place – even after the recent storm damage (and in fact the village needs supporting now more than ever) – in the most beautiful surroundings.

It was such a joy sitting on the sofa watching the waves, both on sunny days and cloudy ones.

Spectacular waterside view. Unique. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. We had a really wonderful time. I would recommend taking some of your own logs, there was only enough for 1 short fire for a 2 night stay.

Access to Netflix etc and a PS4. Even the hair…

Suggestions: have a mirror near a power socket/reserve table at breakfast for guests (if guests give time for breakfast ‘slot’ table would be available to the public outside these times – we foolishly went down around 10am and would have faced a 30 min wait to be seated. My suggestion – get down by 7am, Alf Fresco is hugely popular with the public (right…

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Solstice. The views are incredible and the house is very clean and comfortable and in a great location. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

This is such a beautiful place to stay, especially with the incredible garden and decking, my dogs were absolutely thrilled. At the very top of the garden there’s an incredible viewpoint looking over Dartmouth! If you have mobility issues, it might not be the most accessible, as getting up the hill to the house gets quite steep at the top, however it was worth the walk for me and my family, and we would come back wi…

Tucked away on the edge of the estuary with the high tide bringing the river right up to the back french doors. Very cosy, clean and comfortable with everything we needed including wood for the fire. We had a wonderful stay in this particularly special location.
