This house was a beautiful find, the surrounding scenery was stunning. The house comfortably slept 8 adults and 4 children with plenty of lounging space, that being the sitting room/multiple tables/outdoor space. Paul was extremely kind in allowing a slightly earlier check which was very helpful. The location of the house is beautiful but comes with the awkward country lanes as you get closer, with some being extrem…

A beautiful place to stay if you are coming to Dartmouth. The home has amazing views, it’s a great space and very clean and tidy. It had everything you needed, very quiet and all round lovely! Along side this, check in was very easy! Although parking is a little limited, Paul was so helpful and responsive throughout the booking and we found parking quickly and just by the house! Would definitely stay here again!

“Really charming cottage, exactly what you’d hope for from a country escape, the bathroom in the bedroom was the icing on the cake! The beams, the log fire, the little patio garden it was all so idyllic, we’ll definitely be adding to our list of favourites, thank you so much.”

I stayed at Hideaway cottage for three nights with my son, and we couldn’t fault it at all! Stunning cottage with everything you could need for a break away! Beautiful sleepy village, a stones throw away from the beach. The cottage is compact, but my 6ft 3inch son managed it, you just have to remember to watch out for the low beams. You’ll only hit your head once believe me. The fresh white bedlinen and towels provi…

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in The Cabin! Super peaceful, spacious, and full of hospitable touches which made us feel right at home. Clear, and prompt, communication was appreciated, and the surroundings were just so gorgeous with Autumn colours! We thoroughly recommend staying here (but don’t tell anyone! ;))

Pictures are accurate. Lovely 20 minute walk down to Blackpool Sands. Green Dragon pub in the village did excellent food. Tight entrance to get into parking spaces. Very close to Dartmouth. A really enjoyable few days away for our family.
