We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The property was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home from the moment we arrived. Communication with the host was excellent throughout—helpful, and quick to respond, which made everything smooth and stress-free. It’s i…

This house, unassuming from the outside, is located in a quiet neighborhood, but its interior is charming and pleasant. A small welcome pack with coffee was in the kitchen. The top terrace invites you to relax and unwind, with a lovely view of the harbour and early morning sun. The second terrace is perfect for breakfast. In cooler weather, it would be nicer to sit on cushions. The wooden chairs were a bit damp. Jus…

We had a wonderful stay at Higher Venice – a stunning, spacious country house ideal for a large family gathering. Set in the beautiful Devon countryside, the surroundings are peaceful and picturesque, with a lovely garden perfect for both relaxation and family fun. The house is full of charm and well-equipped with everything we needed. Its location is perfect – secluded and tranquil, yet just a short drive from Dart…

We had a lovely time. Everything was as described. It’s a beautiful, quiet location. The roads in the area are quite narrow, so you should allow some extra time for getting around, but it’s really perfect for people who love country life.

A great home, well suited to families. We were 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs and had loads of space. The garden is huge and fantastic to play around, there is also a BBQ to use and lots of board games plus the table tennis table to keep everyone entertained on rainy days. Longish walk to the beach but great location close to both Thurlestone and Batham Beaches.

Hideaway Cottage is a delightful thatched cottage in the pretty village of Ringmore. Tastefully equipped with everything you need for your holiday. Local pub in walking distance with excellent food. A short drive to Bigbury beach and the iconic Burgh Island. A perfect holiday location I will definitely be coming again

What a truly breathtaking property. The pictures just don’t match up to the wow factor when you walk in. Of course the unbelievable views help , but the house itself is beautiful! Right on the river , we could have stayed on the balcony for the whole weekend just relaxing and enjoying the view. Location was fabulous, beds were comfortable, and the house was spacious and I loved how it was on different levels so you …
