We stayed at The Boathouse in Torcross in July, and the accommodation was perfect. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was spotlessly clean. The location couldn’t have been better – it was absolutely ideal. We were lucky enough to find free parking spaces most of the time, which was a real bonus. The local pub is lovely, serving fantastic food with friendly staff, and they also have the most delic…

Thank you for a fabulous week stay at Spyglass. It’s has been magical and we were very sad to leave. Spyglass is actually more enchanting than the description given. The panoramic views from the upstairs windows and little balcony are absolutely breathtaking and have to be experienced to believe. Absolutely great location. Parking was remarkably easy at the park and ride and with so much to do in walking distance we…

“We had a brilliant stay at the boathouse, the location is incredible and the views breathtaking! We knew the area and so it was the perfect base for us for both relaxing at Torcross with friends or on Slapton Sounds, or exploring nearby Dartmouth or Blackpool sounds. I found the property more spacious than I was expecting and so plenty of room for 4 of you, we did find it a little challenging with our youngest daug…

“Slice of heaven. The pictures and all the positive reviews aren’t even close to what you will experience once you step in to the property. Fully equipped – basics easily acquired from a local co-op down the road. Three levels of views for guests to enjoy – picturesque, panoramic, stunning.”

We had a lovely time staying at this beautiful cottage in Totnes. Its location just off the High Street was perfect for popping out in the morning to grab a coffee and explore the town. We were a little concerned about parking before we arrived, but it turned out not to be an issue at all. The car park was only a short walk away, and purchasing a monthly pass worked out to be the most cost-effective option for us. T…

Booked this for my mums birthday as a surprise and we all loved it. Couldn’t get more central, gorgeous town with so many shops and restaurants. The property is lovely and modern, clean and tidy with plenty of plates, glasses and utensils and a really sweet little kitchen eco welcome box that included all the kitchen essentials. The only improvement could be some shower gels/shampoo provided in the bathrooms. Also n…

“We have stayed in Boathouse Cottage several times and really can’t fault it. The accommodation is spacious, clean and perfectly located for the beach. The beach view from the upstairs window is amazing. The pub is a 2 min walk away and a farm shop is also within walking distance. We have never had any issues but someone is easy to contact should any arise. We would thoroughly recommend Boathouse Cottage, and …
