“The place was spacious, clean and well presented with everything we needed for a very enjoyable long weekend break with friends. The kitchen was well equipped allowing us to easily rustle up a cooked breakfast for six! The house is conveniently located close to the town centre with numerous pubs and restaurants all within a short walking distance. From the top deck there are stunning views across the town towards t…

Beautiful well presented and comfortable accommodation. Quiet & peaceful location. Only downside was the parking but that goes for most of Dartmouth. Loved our time there. Highly recommended.

“Beautiful little place. Very short walk to Brixham harbour and a great location to explore South Devon. We had some lovely evening walks down to the harbour and we found the location ideal, even with my aunt and some mobility issues (walking stick).

Excellent stay at The Cabin. Beautifully clean and organised. Greeted by the Christmas tree twinkle lights,decorations around the cabin and lovely bottle of wine. Very well equipped, great layout and surrounded by trees and ferns. Comfortable beds with lovely linens and towels. The only thing I can add is maybe a microwave? Would love to stay again. Thanks team ‘The Cabin’

We have been there with 1 toddler and a baby for two days. We have enjoyed it a lot. The farm was next to our house. The house was very clean as shown in the photos. However we have struggled to find a halal spot to eat near there.

Ideal accommodation for music festival. Central location but away from street noise. Bunk room is rather small but beautifully formed. I stayed alone this visit but room have shared with a friend in the past during a biking tour. It was a lovely place to lay our heads. Outstanding breakfast, any options from extensive menu, included in the price in the restaurant below that is open from 7am to 2 . No booking or pre …

“A fabulous stay – the cottage is a good size with everything you need. Very very comfortable, lovely leather sofas and a wood burner for the evenings. Separate kitchen and eating area – 2 double bedrooms with classic bath in one and a shower room. High chairs and stair gates available. Very clean and warm. Parking for 2 cars – play area for kids – and very easy to get to local attractions and towns. One of the best…
