This is a very spacious property in a great location to explore Devon. The house is extremely well provisioned – the kitchen in particular has everything you need. Very clean, lovely garden for sitting out on an evening. Parking on the property was invaluable and easy.

“We had a great stay at the lodge! It is beautifully decorated, and has everything we needed for a family with children. The lodge was spotless on arrival, and we appreciated the wine left to welcome us, plus all the good supply of toiletries for us to use during our stay. We loved coming back to such a cosy space after our days out in the cold – the log burner was great, and the cabin was lovely and warm for the du…

Paul himself was super helpful and friendly, and also very flexible when our car broke down and we didn’t know if we woul…

We had a lovely stay at here. Beautiful property, spacious and clean. Only thing I would say is the steps up to the property are a mission with a baby/pram however this is to be expected in Dartmouth. Was a bonus to have a parking space right outside the property. Easy walk into Dartmouth and all the lovely restaurants/shops. We loved the showers in this property and all the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We w…
