“Great host and property. Fully equipped en-suite. You have sink in the room and a kitchenette section (fridge/microwave/toaster) ideal for working professionals. You have easily adjustable heating and super quick warming up in the evenings (probably well insulated), free parking, nice modern shower, dim lights (nice touch) and above all flooring instead of carpets which make it even better. Highly recommend and wil…

We had a wonderful stay at this stunning lodge! The property is hi-spec, very modern, and impeccably designed, offering plenty of space and comfort for our family. The golf and recreation facilities were excellent, and the location was ideal for a relaxing yet active break. The hosts were friendly and attentive, ensuring everything was perfect. Highly recommend for those seeking a luxurious, well-equipped getaway!

We’ve just returned from a lovely short break at Dart Loft. It is a very nice apartment very centrally located within easy reach of the lovely shops and numerous restaurants and pubs in Dartmouth. The apartment is very well equipped with very comfortable beds and nice bedding and also hot and powerful showers. A couple of issues, a handrail is needed for the second flight of stairs up to the apartment and also the s…

We had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault the accommodation. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and exactly as described. It felt welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing, yet convenient for getting out and about. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made everything very easy from…

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…

A stunningly beautiful location to enjoy Dartmouth. The jaw dropping views of the harbour from the property are reason enough to stay here. The house itself is spacious, comfortable and stylish and in a great central location. Paul the host was responsive, polite and friendly. I’ll be back next year!

Fantastic cottage right on the beach where you are able to watch the sunrise before braving the sea. The location is great with a good pub close by and restaurants as well as a very good farm shop which its possible to walk to. The cottage itself has everything you need with a fabulous view. Comfortable beds and great sitting and dining area. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round which was a great plus as wel…

The property was a great place to stay while we enjoyed a few days in Totnes. The property had everything we needed, was spotless and in a peaceful location, yet just steps from the bustle of Totnes and the various restaurants, pubs and cafes. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great few days over the New Year. The location was perfect for us as it was easy to get into the town centre and also easy to get onto the coastal path for a walk by the sea. The views from the apartment are amazing
