The property was a great place to stay while we enjoyed a few days in Totnes. The property had everything we needed, was spotless and in a peaceful location, yet just steps from the bustle of Totnes and the various restaurants, pubs and cafes. We would definitely stay here again.

The property was located close to the harbor where there were many restaurants cafes and bars, shingle beach 10 min from harbour, torquay just a 30 min ferry trip, Dartmouth 5 mile away. Really enjoyed our stay.”

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The property was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home from the moment we arrived. Communication with the host was excellent throughout—helpful, and quick to respond, which made everything smooth and stress-free. It’s i…

We enjoyed an excellent stay at Solstice from start to finish. Great communication from our hosts throughout, excellent accommodation – from cleanliness, furnishings, equipment to comfort. In a great location with fab views of the Dart estuary. Even the parking was great as the seasonal restrictions didn’t kick in until after our stay finished!

“The most perfect place to stay in Dartmouth for our group of 5! Beautiful spacious house, all the amenities you could need, comfy beds, beautiful garden and terrace with amazing views. The location is perfect as you have parking but also 5-10 minutes walk into the centre where you have many great pubs and restaurants. We will be back soon I’m sure!”

This property has been finished to an extremely high standard and didn’t disappoint in any way. The views of Dartmouth are amazing and, being tucked away, is really quiet and secluded. The castle is only a short walk away as is the coastal path if you like walking. Dartmouth town is only 15mins or so by foot. I would certainly like to return in the future.

We’ve just returned home to Bristol after the most amazing 3 night stay at the Rivershack with our dog and 5 year old son. What an absolutely fantastic location, literally ON the estuary with insane views. We arrived in the dark (which was our fault!) and wasn’t ideal but once we found our way to the shack it was everything we hoped it would be and more. Firstly the shack was warm, homely and immaculately clean – it…

A beautiful setting in Devon. The house sits on a gorgeous plot surrounded by rolling hills and a super garden. We had three families in the house, 6 adults and 7 children and there was plenty of space for us all to not feel on top of each other. Kitchen had plenty of pots and pans to cook and two large dining tables. The house is functional albeit a little tired but was clean and tidy. The only two little niggles i…
