“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”.

“Great stay! In great condition and as described. Paul was extremely proactive when we had some unavoidable issues and sorted these as quick as he could. Would definitely look at staying again for a family get together! Thank you!”

A gorgeous stay between all the places worth visiting in South Devon, and a 20 minute drive from the lovely town of Totnes. Really peaceful, and a beautifully restored building. Best suited to those with a car as it is remote. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing stay at this lodge! The home was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect – close to everything I needed but still quiet and relaxing. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in and check-out a breeze. I really appreciated that the host kindly allowed me a late check-out when I asked – thank you for that! The little touches like fresh towe…

We loved our stay, and it was the perfect location for coastal walks and ambling into town! Thank you so much for a lovely stay. There were quite a few steps to get to the property, so I would advice anyone who struggles with mobility to review this beforehand. A great get away thank you!

We spent an amazing family weekend here. The cottage was clean and comfortable and felt like home immediately. The location was a relatively easy access to Salcombe with only 15-20mins drive. The check in could have been more flexible given the long trip we had to make to get to Devon. Otherwise we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very responsive and we highly recommend this place to anyone.
