Lovely property, well presented and absolutely perfect for 2 families / 8 of us and the dog. Lovely communal space. Lovely outdoor space for dining and enjoying the sunny Devon weather. Short drive from the beach.

“We’ve had the most wonderful week at Stargazy: refreshing early morning swims, surfing/boarding, coastal walks, enjoying amazing views from the deck, terrace and bbq and re-visiting our favourite foodie places! Super-comfortable beds – Paul kindly sorted non-feather bedding to allow for family allergies. Great showers and a well equipped kitchen. A generous welcome pack on arrival was a lovely surprise and the terr…

We have just returned from a few days at the lodge in between Christmas and New Year. It was absolutely gorgeous , so cosy and in such a beautiful setting. It was decorated beautifully for Christmas as well. We really loved the log burner in the evenings, it’s clear that everything has been thought out carefully in the lodge. The beds are so comfortable and the decor absolutely lovely, we were sad to leave!

We had a lovely time. Everything was as described. It’s a beautiful, quiet location. The roads in the area are quite narrow, so you should allow some extra time for getting around, but it’s really perfect for people who love country life.

Great apartment in a superb location, everything within walking distance. Well appointed and was spotlessly clean. Excellent communication with the host throughout our stay. Lots of information available for recommendations for eating and visiting. Would highly recommend 5*

Our stay at The River Shack was absolutely magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt ourselves unwind. Sitting beside the tidal waters, watching the boats, swans and paddleboarders drift peacefully past was such a joy, and the ever-changing river made every moment feel special. The River Shack was so welcoming and had everything we needed for a wonderfully relaxing three-day retreat. It was comfortable, thoughtfu…

We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was perfect for a long weekend in Devon. Literally 8 min drive outside of Dartmouth. The kids particularly loved the hot tub after spending the day out exploring. Thank you so much for having us!

Wonderful stay in Dartmouth – location of the flat is perfect, close enough to everything you need but quieter than the centre. Views are amazing and the property is very well equipped. The main bedroom could do with a bigger bed – it’s a double not a king! But overall a fantastic property and highly recommend
