“This is a magical home with the most beautiful view of the sea entrance to Dartmouth. Couldn’t have asked for better weather in December waking up to blue skies and sunshine. It’s worth the journey once you navigate all the steps and luggage down to Paul’s place. Would come again and bring more guests as there is plenty of room here for a big group. Love all the balconies and different levels of the house. Having a…

The photos of this place don’t actually do it justice! Such a beautiful home with the most incredible views. We had to park in the main car park and then walk to the house which I’m sure would have been less stressful if we didn’t have a lot of bags, but we managed! We would honestly come and stay here again. Watching the boats from the top window was so peaceful!

Cedar house was absolutely perfect. We visited as a family of 8, 6 adults and 2 small children. The house was absolutely spotless, well furnished and had everything we needed. We genuinely could not have been happier with our stay, I would highly recommend.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in The Cabin! Super peaceful, spacious, and full of hospitable touches which made us feel right at home. Clear, and prompt, communication was appreciated, and the surroundings were just so gorgeous with Autumn colours! We thoroughly recommend staying here (but don’t tell anyone! ;))

We had a fantastic stay at The Cabin. Lots of narrow roads to get to it, but the instructions given were very helpful! The Cabin itself is beautiful. It was very peaceful and private. It was very clean and had everything we need. As a family of 6 we were at full capacity, but we still had plenty of space. The kids loved going up to the meadow for a little fire and marshmallow toasting. There is so much to do in unde…

What a fantastic property! The views are breathtaking and the apartment is very spacious. Paul was excellent and great at communicating. It was my mothers 70th birthday and I asked if I could send some balloons down and Paul was really happy to help, Had a great weekend- thank you!

Very communicative and helpful. This is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed in, was very clean and had everything we needed. Amazing view of Dartmouth and very unique interior for a special stay. We slept really well and found the space was even bigger than it looked on the listing too. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect spot for a couple. Walking distance from the River Dart and places to eat.
