Great stay in the centre of town and the view from the upstairs living room was amazing.

myself, my husband, 2 children and our dog have just returned from a wonderful week at The Boathouse. The accommodation itself is exactly as described, if anything I would say it feels more spacious that the photos suggest. The location can’t be beaten, with the sea literally a stones throw away. Paul himself was super helpful and friendly, and also very flexible when our car broke down and we didn’t know if we woul…

Very spacious townhouse, extremely well equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable with lovely white bedding. Very convenient location above the town in Dartmouth, but it is a fair walk down down the hill and then back up again. The area was quiet and it was great to have parking outside the house. The parking directly in front of the house will only take a small car but then there is a spa…

Brambles annexe was easy to find, very quiet location and a nice little base to explore the local area from. The property is looked after by the lovely couple next door who popped by to check everything was ok. On arrival we messaged Paul to let him know the loo seat was very loose, quick response and repaired straight away. We also had a fuse blow in the tv plug, during our stay, we let the couple next door know an…

Lovely little place. Exactly like the photos. The air conditioning in the bedroom was a major bonus. The bedroom is lovely and the bed very comfortable. The place was clean but not spotless. We had a problem with the rubbish as the seagull proof bags were not supplied. The host did get back to us to say he would sort it out but it wasn’t sorted and he didn’t respond to my second message about the issue. We had to le…

We were a family of 8 adults and 3 children who stayed for 5 days. The location was a perfect base for exploring Devon by car. We had a wonderful stay, the accommodation was spacious, layout was perfect for us as grandparents were accommodated on ground floor and our 2 families upstairs with a perfect split with 2 bedrooms each with a bathroom. The kitchen facilities were excellent an air fryer washer dryer. Ample f…

Would stay again and would recommend. Visitors need to be conscious of the up hill walk back from town especially as the bus runs to a limited schedule

“What a wonderful week we’ve had! The Hen House is spotlessly clean, perfectly equipped and brilliantly placed to explore beautiful South West Devon. Thank you for being such great hosts. The children have enjoyed farm life (especially seeing the baby calves, ducks, chickens, goats, cats and puppies!) We hope to be back soon!”
