“We had a wonderful stay at Tremorvah, a lovely flat in such a tranquil and beautiful location. Must be one of the best views in Dartmouth! The flat is a short walk from the town centre and also walking distance from the Castle by the estuary and the little tea rooms (very friendly). A beautiful space, stylish interior design, a well equipped kitchen, very spacious master bedroom, all rooms with the same lovely view…

Very clean and stylish home with all you need. Location was really good although there is a hill to walk up and down into Dartmouth – we didn’t find that a problem and the town in lovely.

Fantastic property, great views and wonderfully looked after. Had a really relaxing short break. Arrival instructions were perfect given the current road closure. Dartmouth is lovely with wonderful pubs, cafes and shops.

“Wells Park Barn is a beautifully appointed and thoughtfully equipped home-from-home, offering delightful open-plan living and four spacious bedrooms. We really felt comfortable for our two-week stay and enjoyed the comfortable beds, sumptuous bathrooms, lovely garden and relaxing lounge area. Lots of thoughtful extras were appreciated such as hadsoaps, washing up liquid, books, games and DVDs, as well as outdoor an…

Everything was better than expected. It was just a 5-minute walk up to the coast with its sensational views, and a 10-minute walk to a wonderful bay with a fantastic sandy beach. A cozy pub serving delicious food, beer, and pool was only a 2-minute walk away. Agatha Christie’s house, Plymouth, and Dartmouth were all within a 30- to 45-minute drive. And then, always returning to a truly cozy apartment that had everyt…

Lovely, homely cabin in the woods. The whole place was well designed and thought out with attractive interiors. We only had breakfast in, so can’t comment on kitchen facilities really, but everything was spotless. The bathrooms had soft towels and were again very clean.

We had a wonderful three night stay at the Cartshed. Paul was very responsive and check in details were very well explained. We used what.three.words to easily find the location which I would recommend as the Cartshed is off the beaten track down some small Devon country lanes, although they were easy to navigate and we met minimal traffic. The inside space was beautiful, clean and cosy, we particularly enjoyed brea…

We had a lovely, peaceful stay at this converted barn in the Devon countryside. The property is open-plan, spacious, and airy, offering a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you step inside. ​The countryside scenery of rolling hills was beautiful. We loved spending our mornings sipping coffee and evenings unwinding on the outdoor seating area. There was even enough lawn space for a fun game of badmint…
