We had such a fantastic stay here – probably our favourite Devon spot to date – the kids loved staying at The Hen House, being right on the farm and being greeted by the sheep and getting to see the calves. The space was perfect for us with 3 kids, very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Everything had been thought of and we were in an ideal location, close to so many beautiful beaches and attractions – we …

What a great stay myself, my husband and two daughters had! We all felt at home straight away, the cabin had absolutely everything we needed and we couldn’t believe how beautifully it is decorated and furnished. The highlight for my daughter’s was toasting marshmallows on the firepit in the meadow. We visited Dartmouth, Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Bantham beach and Pennywell Farm. Paul was great at promptly responding to…

“We wanted a special place, with great views of The Dart to celebrate our friends special birthday. Steppes House did not disappoint! The views were stunning. The main living space was perfectly laid out for spending time with friends. There are two dining tables which was great as one turned into a puzzle table whilst we dined at the other. The bedrooms were spacious and the bed were incredibly comfortable. We had …

“This house is absolutely breathtaking, the most fabulous place we’ve ever seen! Wow! Perfect location, perfect hosts. They even kindly let us extend your checkout which was so so kind. Can’t wait to return, photos don’t do this place justice!!! I can’t wait to stay again! Kitchen well equipped, we cooked supper for 10! Fab! Comfortable beds and luxury bedding, such a treat!”

This place is ideal for a short break in Totnes. We loved the convenience and centrality although it is tucked away on a side street. Totnes is full of great eateries and independent shops and there are lots of things round and about to do too. High points were eating at fine dining “Gather” restaurant where the emphasis is on foraged and local food and Coleton Fishacre NT house and garden. Thanks for the individual…

Beautiful location and view. Can’t beat hearing the sound of the ocean from inside the place. Beds were comfy and nice water pressure in the shower. Clear instructions and friendly host to communicate with. Would stay again. Thank you for the nice experience!

“Just a quick note to let you know that our stay at Pomeroy Cottage was Gold Standard! The property was perfect for us- location especially, facilities in the house, parking, information book in the house etc but the standard of cleanliness was absolutely outstanding! It really was the cleanest, tidiest and most well cared for property I have ever stayed in.

This property was absolutely perfect for a weekend away from London with friends. We only needed 2 of the bedrooms, but 2 other rooms were available. We brought our dog as well. Everyone thought the property was perfect for all we wanted to do. We came to dine at Seahorse and go hiking in the area. Dartmouth was a great home base for all we wanted to do – eat great seafood, breath fresh air, and be in the outdoors. …

Perfect location for exploring the area. Parked in Steamboat quay car park and you can pay by phone remotely so very easy. Comfortable home for two people.
