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…

Perfect location for easy walking to Totnes shops and restaurants, and also just 15 min walk from train station. The spotless and well organised flat was perfect for our four night break. Paul provided clear instructions and was very flexible.

Wonderful stay in Dartmouth – location of the flat is perfect, close enough to everything you need but quieter than the centre. Views are amazing and the property is very well equipped. The main bedroom could do with a bigger bed – it’s a double not a king! But overall a fantastic property and highly recommend

This was my second stay and a first for some family members we brought along with us. Yet again, everyone was delighted with the property and its location and we would all loved to have stayed for longer! Paul responds in great time to any messages and is super helpful. We would absolutely stay again.

We had a lovely stay. The barn was well equipped and in a great location with the beach just a 15-20 walk away and the village store and pub just around the corner. The area is beautiful with a lot of stunning coastal walks and Dartmouth and Brixham not far away. We can highly recommend staying at this place.

We’ve visited this property several times. The view from the roof terrace is wonderful especially if the weather is good. The living and bedroom accommodation is comfortable. The house is very close to the town with all it’s lovely restaurants and shops. Definitely recommend this property.

A spacious, clean house in a great location. The garden is lovely too and a sun trap. It is very peaceful despite a close location to town. You can walk from the house to the harbour very quickly. Comfortable beds. A great stay.
