Had a great time at Dart Lookout – it’s in a great part of town and had garage parking which was a huge bonus. Beautiful home with beautiful views. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely holiday here. Perfect location. Beautiful views across the river – loved watching the ferry go back and forth!

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Higher Venice for my mother’s 60th Birthday. Plenty of room for us all as a party of 7 adults, 5 children and 2 dogs. Lovely views and a very quiet location. Property was very clean and had all amenities required including a nice patio and BBQ area. A great base from which to explore this beautiful part of Devon”.

“Incredible location for a relaxing weekend away with friends. Beach literally on the doorstep for walks or more adventurous surfing/windsurfing/paddle boarding etc. Lovely pub on Burgh Island (need to book for dinner) with the added adventure of the sea tractor at high tide. And then the property! Lovely layout, very clean and everything you need. The outside space is incredible with the seating and bar section on …
