We enjoyed an excellent stay at Solstice from start to finish. Great communication from our hosts throughout, excellent accommodation – from cleanliness, furnishings, equipment to comfort. In a great location with fab views of the Dart estuary. Even the parking was great as the seasonal restrictions didn’t kick in until after our stay finished!

I spent the weekend with friends at a modern luxury property in Dartmouth, set right on the river within a striking new building, and it was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the quality and attention to detail were evident. The architecture is contemporary yet beautifully in keeping with Dartmouth’s coastal elegance, with large glass panels framing uninterrupted views across the river. Watc…

We had a lovely, peaceful stay at this converted barn in the Devon countryside. The property is open-plan, spacious, and airy, offering a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you step inside. ​The countryside scenery of rolling hills was beautiful. We loved spending our mornings sipping coffee and evenings unwinding on the outdoor seating area. There was even enough lawn space for a fun game of badmint…

We felt very comfortable in the apartment. Everything was very clean, and every detail had been considered—from an extra fan to earplugs. Communication with the host was excellent. The only thing to watch out for is the timing regarding parking: you need to pay close attention to the schedule of the bus running to the park-and-ride lot outside town (it only operates between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.) and be mindful of the r…

We had a lovely stay here! It’s a great location for wandering into town. We used it as a base to explore surrounding areas like salcombe. The kitchen is very well equipped which is always a bonus when cooking away from home. Thanks for a lovely stay!

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…
