“Just the perfect spot in Dartmouth. Amazing views of the Dart & had everything we needed for a weekend break. Located right in the heart of town close to some lovely restaurants & pubs. Paul was helpful throughout & the check in procedure was very smooth. The Cabin sits atop a lovely cafe where you can pick up pastries & coffee in the morning in a matter of seconds!

We had such a fantastic stay here – probably our favourite Devon spot to date – the kids loved staying at The Hen House, being right on the farm and being greeted by the sheep and getting to see the calves. The space was perfect for us with 3 kids, very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean.

A charming comfortable Edwardian house within easy walking distance to Dartmouth and a marvellous view to watch the ‘ Lower Ferry’ working, very relaxing. There is also a garage which is extremely convenient as parking in Dartmouth is very restricted. The house was well equipped, clean & comfortable. In all a delightful place to stay.

This property was absolutely perfect for a weekend away from London with friends. We only needed 2 of the bedrooms, but 2 other rooms were available. We brought our dog as well. Everyone thought the property was perfect for all we wanted to do. We came to dine at Seahorse and go hiking in the area. Dartmouth was a great home base for all we wanted to do – eat great seafood, breath fresh air, and be in the outdoors. …

Cedar house was absolutely perfect. We visited as a family of 8, 6 adults and 2 small children. The house was absolutely spotless, well furnished and had everything we needed. We genuinely could not have been happier with our stay, I would highly recommend.
