We had a very enjoyable stay at the Dart Loft, the place was very easy to find very close to town centre. Everything available in the property we needed during our stay and the most comfortable beds that we have stayed in places away from home. I would definitely recommend the dart loft and would love to visit again. Weather was perfect during our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivershack! We felt privileged to stay there it is so unique the way it is nestled on the estuary. The views of the estuary were spectacular always something different to see. Great for bird watching ! The place was well equipped, clean, with comfy beds. Communication from Paul was great. I definitely wouldn’t recommend finding it in the dark although once we knew where it was i…

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…

“The most perfect place to stay in Dartmouth for our group of 5! Beautiful spacious house, all the amenities you could need, comfy beds, beautiful garden and terrace with amazing views. The location is perfect as you have parking but also 5-10 minutes walk into the centre where you have many great pubs and restaurants. We will be back soon I’m sure!”

On a very steep hill, so loading and unloading can be challenge. Great views and location. No parking nearby.

The apartment was well placed, comfortable and very clean. Totnes itself is an interesting town, and is close to many attractions in the area. We used the short term car park which is very close and is free after 6pm. We then paid for one hour in the morning as we were always away by 9am! Although the dishwasher wasn’t working, Paul got it fixed the day before we left. Various cleaning materials were provided, but m…

We had a wonderful three night stay at the Cartshed. Paul was very responsive and check in details were very well explained. We used what.three.words to easily find the location which I would recommend as the Cartshed is off the beaten track down some small Devon country lanes, although they were easy to navigate and we met minimal traffic. The inside space was beautiful, clean and cosy, we particularly enjoyed brea…
