Great position close to centre of Dartmouth. Parking pass for central car park was excellent. Accommodation excellent- very clean and well laid out. Facilities excellent. We can thoroughly recommend this property.

Great location central to Dartmouth. During our stay there was scaffolding up on the building in front, which initially made the steps to the property hard to locate. Cute and characterful cottage, with a little area for sitting headed and enjoying the view. It would have been handy to have a fan in the second bedroom as it got quite hot, but the window opened directly onto the steps, which would be a worry if track…

We had a lovely time staying at this beautiful cottage in Totnes. Its location just off the High Street was perfect for popping out in the morning to grab a coffee and explore the town. We were a little concerned about parking before we arrived, but it turned out not to be an issue at all. The car park was only a short walk away, and purchasing a monthly pass worked out to be the most cost-effective option for us. T…

We have just spent the most wonderful long weekend at Steppes. It is the most wonderful house with an amazing view which was perfect for a big family get together. Coffee on the deck in the morning sunshine, looking at everything going on in the harbour and the view out to see was just incredible. Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful house.

Great little space for solos or couples. Within two minutes walk of most of the lower part of Dartmouth, loads of great pubs and cafes. The space itself is very quirky with hatches and hidden storage spaces, with lots of sea memorabilia without feeling cluttered or dusty. I didn’t cook, but the kitchen had all you could want (except an oven), with plenty of pots, pans, cutlery, plates and glasses. Would definitely c…

We had a very enjoyable few days in this charming apartment. it was as good as and even better than the photos. It was beautifully appointed and the views from the windows over the Dart were breathtaking and wonderful to wake up to each morning. Luckily we were blessed with perfect autumn weather. Parking is a problem in most towns these days but we were lucky to find free parking at the end of the road. Paul was ve…

We had a lovely stay at Paul’s property. The instructions we were given ahead of time led to a really simple check-in and parking spot despite the potential for frustration with the road being closed (we were lucky enough to grab a free parking spot and kept the car there the whole time, getting around by foot and boat). The provision of a trolley for transporting our luggage was also really useful. The road closure…

“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”.

One of the nicest places we’ve stayed in, great location, no real traffic noise at night and an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. A parking permit for the main car park in Dartmouth was provided by Paul which was much appreciated.

“We had a lovely break at the cabin. Spotlessly clean on arrival and milk left in the fridge. Great base from which to explore the area and visit Salcombe and Dartmouth. Will definitely return”.
