We very much enjoyed our stay at Hideaway in Ringmore. The thatched cottage is an absolute delight, cleverly converted to the highest standard of design, decor and comfort. Equipped with all you need for a perfect stay with a few added twists to make it a home from home. Even a little pretty rear garden with table and chairs. The charming village pub, unfortunately closed Mondays and Tuesdays is a short walk aw…

We really enjoyed our stay at Palm Cott. Directions for access were clear. The cottage was well-furnished and the beds were super comfy. We were grateful for the fans as the heatwave meant it got a bit stuffy at night! Kitchen was small but laid out well and had almost everything you need. We did think the addition of a veg peeler and cheese grater would be good. Everything worked well and we felt very at ho…

We throughly enjoyed our stay and the barn suited all our needs. Beds are comfortable with good quality bed linen. Great showers in both bathrooms again with good quality towels. Kitchen is well equipped too. It’s a fantastic location to walk to Blackpool Sands. The Green Dragon in the village is a very friendly pub serving delicious pizzas. Despite being close to the road it is very peaceful and quiet. Paul is a ve…

The Soltice is located in such way that we had beautiful River Dart views and great access to the town. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds very comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly book it again in the future.

Fabulous location and ideal base to explore it from. Facilities were good and the house was clean and comfortable. The Host was contactable, accommodating and responsive. Would thoroughly recommend whether for multiple guests or just as a getaway for a couple.

We love coming to Thurlestone and Spindrift is a beautiful property perfectly placed to walk to the hotel, Village Inn and beaches. The house has a secure garden and is dog friendly. There are great amenities and things to do inside if the weather is inclement. Paul is a great host who responds quickly to messages and sorts out any problems without any fuss.

This house was a beautiful find, the surrounding scenery was stunning. The house comfortably slept 8 adults and 4 children with plenty of lounging space, that being the sitting room/multiple tables/outdoor space. Paul was extremely kind in allowing a slightly earlier check which was very helpful. The location of the house is beautiful but comes with the awkward country lanes as you get closer, with some being extrem…

Bigbury on sea is one of our favourite places. A short walk to the beach. The view was stunning and it is very peaceful in the evenings. Many thanks for accommodating us and the welcome pack was perfect. Thank you!
