Our stay in this Dartmouth property was absolutely amazing. The views were stunning, the people were great, the town had plenty to do and lots of history, the weather was perfect, etc. I couldn’t have asked for more. Paul was extremely helpful throughout and he was always there to help instantly whenever I needed it. I couldn’t recommend this stay more. You’ll have a great time!

“We had a wonderful stay. The perfect house for our extended family. So peaceful but within easy reach of places to visit. The donkeys in the next field were adorable. I cannot recommend thi house highly enough. Would love visit again sometime”.

Had the most wonderful stay at Stargazy! Beautiful views, right near the beach, sitting on the balcony with the sun shining and just relaxing! The bar area outside was great fun too. The house has everything you need and all the little extra touches made it more homely. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend x

We had a very relaxing stay at Pippin Barn. Sufficiency out of the way but close enough to everything. It’s a great get away from it location with nice 3.5 mile circular walk from the door. Spotlessly clean well presented and well equipped. Thanks Devon Escapes

“Situated on the beach it was great to be able to pop back to the cottage – ideal when you have 2 kids and a dog! Local farm shop was fab for groceries and the Start Bay Inn was reliable for some nice evening food and drinks. Torcross is a beautiful place and the cottage allowed for an enjoyable and peaceful break”.

Paul’s place was just stunning. The house was beautifully presented and designed. The location was great and I would go back in a second, I wish we could have stayed longer.

Our weekend away in Dartmouth was very much enhanced by the very stylish (and clean!) Dart Loft. The location was perfect for exploring the town and river, and it was relatively straightforward to find somewhere to park while we unloaded the car. We’re already thinking about returning next year!

We had a lovely holiday in this amazing house, all very high quality. Brilliant location and enjoyed sitting on the balconies watching over the river. Enjoyed catching the ferry into Dartmouth and found lots of shade for our dog in the park area! Although the weather was so hot and couldn’t go on as many walks as we would have liked the house and location made up for it as it was easy and enjoyable to hang around at…
