Amazing 5 nights stay at this beautifully furnished new property. Incredible location with panoramic views of the river and harbour. 20 mins walk to the town – a bit far for some people maybe but we wanted a quieter spot. Clean and comfortable bedrooms, modern kitchen with top of the line appliances, complementary coffee was a nice touch, good quality linen and toiletries. Great secure parking space. Paul was friend…

Our stay at The River Shack was absolutely magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt ourselves unwind. Sitting beside the tidal waters, watching the boats, swans and paddleboarders drift peacefully past was such a joy, and the ever-changing river made every moment feel special. The River Shack was so welcoming and had everything we needed for a wonderfully relaxing three-day retreat. It was comfortable, thoughtfu…

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and really comfy. It was a slightly longer hill walk than anticipated (plus the stairs) into and back from town and the parking was a bit tricky with a larger car but managable. The location was great. Book in advance for restaurants! We had a great stay. The beds were also extremely comfortable. Thank you!

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…

“We had a great stay at the lodge! It is beautifully decorated, and has everything we needed for a family with children. The lodge was spotless on arrival, and we appreciated the wine left to welcome us, plus all the good supply of toiletries for us to use during our stay. We loved coming back to such a cosy space after our days out in the cold – the log burner was great, and the cabin was lovely and warm for the du…
