“We’ve had the most wonderful week at Stargazy: refreshing early morning swims, surfing/boarding, coastal walks, enjoying amazing views from the deck, terrace and bbq and re-visiting our favourite foodie places! Super-comfortable beds – Paul kindly sorted non-feather bedding to allow for family allergies. Great showers and a well equipped kitchen. A generous welcome pack on arrival was a lovely surprise and the terr…

What a great stay myself, my husband and two daughters had! We all felt at home straight away, the cabin had absolutely everything we needed and we couldn’t believe how beautifully it is decorated and furnished. The highlight for my daughter’s was toasting marshmallows on the firepit in the meadow. We visited Dartmouth, Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Bantham beach and Pennywell Farm. Paul was great at promptly responding to…

The views!! Highly recommend this place – we stayed as 5 adult couples. Views are breathtaking, house is well equipped & clean. Great comms, easy to find. Location is perfect for walking into town and also quiet enough to chill on the balcony. We made good use of the BBQ and terraces. We’d definitely return – no one wanted to leave! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

We had such a wonderful stay at this cottage, it was truly amazing. From the moment we arrived, it felt warm, welcoming, and instantly relaxing. It’s the perfect place to unwind and switch off. The accommodation itself was fantastic, with everything thoughtfully set up to make our stay comfortable. Devon is such a special place, and this cottage really lets you enjoy it to the fullest, especially if you’re bringing …

I stayed at Hideaway cottage for three nights with my son, and we couldn’t fault it at all! Stunning cottage with everything you could need for a break away! Beautiful sleepy village, a stones throw away from the beach. The cottage is compact, but my 6ft 3inch son managed it, you just have to remember to watch out for the low beams. You’ll only hit your head once believe me. The fresh white bedlinen and towels provi…

“This is a characterful, quaint studio apartment, at the very top of a house right in the heart of Dartmouth, above a bustling and delicious café. The views across the estuary are unrivalled. The furnishings are characterful, the kitchen basic but does the job for a simple meal and ideal for a sunset drink and nibbles on the little balcony which is in the best possible place”.

We loved The Captain’s Cabin! The furnishings really did make us think we were staying on a boat. Breakfast at Alf Fresco was an added bonus. A perfect base for our weekend walking the coast path.

We felt very comfortable in the apartment. Everything was very clean, and every detail had been considered—from an extra fan to earplugs. Communication with the host was excellent. The only thing to watch out for is the timing regarding parking: you need to pay close attention to the schedule of the bus running to the park-and-ride lot outside town (it only operates between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.) and be mindful of the r…
