Fantastic property. Really comfortable. Great view from your sitting room . In the town but far enough out to have a peaceful surrounding. Paul was an excellent host , couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful . Thank you 😁

We had a lovely, peaceful stay at this converted barn in the Devon countryside. The property is open-plan, spacious, and airy, offering a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you step inside. ​The countryside scenery of rolling hills was beautiful. We loved spending our mornings sipping coffee and evenings unwinding on the outdoor seating area. There was even enough lawn space for a fun game of badmint…

One of the most beautiful places we ever stayed in. Right from entering the appartment we felt at home – the nook in which the bed is is so cosy, the open kitchen makes it feel so homely. The views over the harbour are unbelievable, because you are so high up you feel like you are on top of the world. The interior is so cute and we especially loved the big table to work from. When they say private it really is priva…

This place is nothing short of amazing! Beautifully clean and very well equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Paul was super quick in responding when we had a problem with a blown fuse, so was sorted immediately 😀. The only thing that could make this any better would be a parking permit please. Dartmouth is a perfect place but parking is an absolute nightmare!

The garden was lovely to sit out in in the morning and for a BBQ and games on the evening. Communication w…

Fantastic stay here for my parents’ Christmas present. Beautifully kept property, that accommodated us all perfectly. Plenty of space for 7 adults to all live, socialise and enjoy. Couldn’t find a single fault and would recommended very highly. Would happily return again and again, and likely will. Thanks again!

We actually couldn’t quite believe how incredible the view of the River Dart was from the living room and the master bedroom. Absolutely stunning. We brought our binoculars and loved being able to see all the boats coming and going and to watch the dinghy racing right in front of us. Really clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in the garage was great. The shops and restaurants are a …

We had an excellent stay, only a minute to walk to the beach we enjoyed swimming in the sea every day. We loved the back garden with a BBQ, lots of comfortable seating and perfect sea view. Would definitely recommend and we would love to stay again.
