Pictures don’t do it justice! Beautifully decorated – attention to detail in every room. Thoughtful touches provided. Went as a family of 7 plus dog and plenty of room for us all to sit & not be on top of each other. Walking distance to the beach & the Italian just by the house is amazing – highly recommend. Dartmouth park & ride is about 10 min easy drive away making a lovely day out. Loved our stay & hope to retur…

Cider House is a beautiful and very clean house. Few meters away from it is a small green area with a few benches, trees and grass. Also there is pleace for barbecue. Front garden was secure for my dog witch was a bonus. Great communication with Poul and localization just few minutes by car to the beautiful beaches of Devon! We had a great stay!

The Cartshed is in the most beautiful setting down a farm track with a stunning view, despite being near the house it has a little secluded garden space. It is well equipped and a very comfortable space with beautiful features and lovely decor. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful few days at the Boathouse – the location is second to none! To listen to the waves crash into the sea wall was the best! The pub was just right and the food was fantastic. All in all we had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend in a unique property with huge appeal. I hope to return soon.

Such a lovely and spacious place! We didn’t get the chance to use the terrace and BBQ as the October weather was a bit unpredictable, but we can imagine how beautiful it would be to wake up to the sunrise over the estuary. The home was well-equipped and spacious, with a touch of luxury throughout. It’s close to town and surrounded by beautiful walks. Parking can be a little tricky, but we were lucky to find a spot n…

“We stayed in the Cabin for a few nights, and it was perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely be returning. Everything was clean and cozy, with fresh linens, breathtaking views, and a warm atmosphere that felt like home. Its central location made it easy to enjoy great coffee and fantastic breakfast just downstairs, plus we could walk to incredible restaurants. My partner loved exploring the …
