Thank you for a lovely stay in the cabin. The setting is beautiful, especially the meadow at the top. We all enjoyed using the fire pit and listening out for the birds. The river is also a lot of fun and the perfect place for playing Pooh Sticks.

House was clean and beautiful – simple pristine decoration. The view was amazing and made it worth every penny. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

A lovely apartment, super clean with everything that you could want and with beautifull views over the estuary. Location is great and short walk to the town and great restaurants and bars. Street parking was available nearby.

The house was as described and has been tastefully and stylishly refurbished. There are lots of steps from the parking space, but didn’t worry us. The terrace was a lovely sun trap. The house is a short walk into Dartmouth, which is a lovely town. Lots of good restaurants and independent shops.

A great home, well suited to families. We were 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs and had loads of space. The garden is huge and fantastic to play around, there is also a BBQ to use and lots of board games plus the table tennis table to keep everyone entertained on rainy days. Longish walk to the beach but great location close to both Thurlestone and Batham Beaches.

A fabulous Barn perfect for Large families ( and dogs ) In the centre of lovely Stoke Fleming. With stunning beaches on your doorstep and just a few Minutes from Lovely Dartmouth. Private garden, parking for 2 cars and very well equipped throughout. We all felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended and excellent value for money ♥️♥️

We absolutely loved the Captains Cabin! We would definitely stay again. It was so quirky and the views were fantastic from the balcony! Paul was really responsive every time we pinged a message over… couldn’t fault him at all. We will and already have recommended the Captains Cabin to our friends and family!

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Higher Venice for my mother’s 60th Birthday. Plenty of room for us all as a party of 7 adults, 5 children and 2 dogs. Lovely views and a very quiet location. Property was very clean and had all amenities required including a nice patio and BBQ area. A great base from which to explore this beautiful part of Devon”.

We spent a lovely two weeks in the Hen House. The rooms were a good size, and the open plan kitchen, dining and living room was great. The decking area was lovely, and we VERY much enjoyed the company of the two seemingly resident, very friendly, cats: they were very good, and didn’t try to come inside [very often!]). The only reason for the lack of a five star review is that we ran out of hot water quite a lot. The…
