The Apartment is immaculate, nothing is left to chance. It’s also close to all the amenities which is handy for restaurants and pubs. The parking permit is a necessity as parking can be a Dartmouth problem”.

myself, my husband, 2 children and our dog have just returned from a wonderful week at The Boathouse. The accommodation itself is exactly as described, if anything I would say it feels more spacious that the photos suggest. The location can’t be beaten, with the sea literally a stones throw away. Paul himself was super helpful and friendly, and also very flexible when our car broke down and we didn’t know if we woul…

I had an incredible stay at this charming Airbnb apartment in Totnes! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the centrum, with easy access to local shops and cafes. The apartment itself is cozy, clean, and equipped with everything I needed to work remotely for the week. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which made my workdays smooth and stress-free. The host was very responsive and flexible regarding check-in…

A lovely little cottage right on the beach, you couldn’t possibly have got any closer. The current road closure at Slapton Sands meant it was much quieter than usual which was fab for us as we don’t like it busy.

“We had a great stay at this lovely little apartment. Great location in the heart of town, walking distance to the train station and lots of restaurants, pubs, cafes, and shops nearby. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a short break. The bedroom was comfy and quiet, and the living/dining/kitchen area was a great place to relax and cook. The kitchen had a good range of appliances and…

Great location to visit the beaches and coastal towns of East/South Devon, e.g. short driving distance from the gem Dartmouth, very much recommended with kids because of the crab fishing from the quay. House was very clean and new, little bit smaller than expected but it had everything we needed, and hottub was a big plus. Front side of the house is not most appealing, but backside has very nice views on the golf co…
