We loved the location. The view of the creek from the bedrooms and lounge is beautiful and so peaceful. We enjoyed being able to open the doors to the juliet balcony in the evenings. The apartment is light and airy and the kitchen well equipped. It was great to have 2 full sized bathrooms and the bedrooms were a generous size. Paul was very quick to respond to messages and we really enjoyed our stay.

“Beautiful little place. Very short walk to Brixham harbour and a great location to explore South Devon. We had some lovely evening walks down to the harbour and we found the location ideal, even with my aunt and some mobility issues (walking stick). Paul was extremely responsive when we struggled to find the front door from the parked car. The place was immaculate, all bed linen smelt so fresh and the beds were so …

Paul always communicated well with my queries. I would recommend using the postcode to find the property as the road name didn’t work. The property is down a very quiet country lane – one of those very narrow, grass growing in the middle country lanes. It was easy to get into and when you do you’ll find a very clean and spacious property. The layout worked well for us in that we were in the kingsize ensuite on the g…

The Cartshed is in the most beautiful setting down a farm track with a stunning view, despite being near the house it has a little secluded garden space. It is well equipped and a very comfortable space with beautiful features and lovely decor. We very much enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely stay at Paul’s property. The instructions we were given ahead of time led to a really simple check-in and parking spot despite the potential for frustration with the road being closed (we were lucky enough to grab a free parking spot and kept the car there the whole time, getting around by foot and boat). The provision of a trolley for transporting our luggage was also really useful. The road closure…
