We had a lovely stay at the cottage. Starting with the positives, it was super quiet and very peaceful in the evenings which was surprising as it’s on the main high street. The cottage was very clean and as expected. Check in was super smooth with the keys easy to find. All in all, we were pleased with everything. A few things to mention however – parking is not on site. We had to find public long stay car parks aro…

We actually couldn’t quite believe how incredible the view of the River Dart was from the living room and the master bedroom. Absolutely stunning. We brought our binoculars and loved being able to see all the boats coming and going and to watch the dinghy racing right in front of us. Really clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in the garage was great. The shops and restaurants are a …

We had a wonderful stay at the bungalow with ample space for a family if 4. Lovely kitchen and dining area and patio to sit in outside to enjoy the evening. Kingsbridge is a lovely area and walkable from the bungalow to explore, highly recommend the Crabshell Inn! Easy access to beaches such as Bantham.

Just back from a fantastic three nights at the place. The location of the house is fabulous, just 1-2 minutes walk from the beach. It felt very homely and comfortably sleeps 8 Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea and beach was sublime. Drinks up in the bar on the top decking at the back of the house in the evening with stunning views was real bonus. There are plenty of games to keep you occupied and we didn’…

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!

Had a wonderful stay at Galions Quay! The photos don’t do it justice, stunning views on the river, perfect for a rainy getaway. Perfect for 2 families, us and our baby plus our friends and their 2 kids 4&7. Walkable into town with beautiful views of the river. Paul was informative and helpful and we were able to hire a high chair and travel cot for bub. The renovations next door were not an issue for us we didn’t he…

We loved our stay at Pear Tree Lodge. The house has a bright open feel, a slightly unique layout on two levels (there are a few stairs to the bedrooms) which I loved, large bright rooms and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden was beautiful, with a stunning view over the fields and down to the estuary. And there was ample room for 2 cars on the drive. Also, we were happy to discover a second bathroom wh…

“We have stayed in many holiday homes and this is definitely one of the best. The cabin is beautifully decorated with so much attention to detail. It was warm and cosy for our Easter break and I can imagine that in the summertime with full use of the deck and meadow above it will be gorgeous. Comfortable beds, spotlessly clean, well stocked kitchen, spacious and homely in a beautiful location. I wholeheartedly recom…
