Was a great house for a family get together .Including small children . Lots of different spaces but not too big . Very well appointed with everything we needed . Lovely location . Quiet and rural but near enough to a good road to get places . Various members of the party went running and we all walked to the pub in Halwell . I can’t think of any thing negative.

“Absolutely amazing place – such a unique and beautiful place to stay. The Captain’s Cabin exceeded our expectations. The bonus was being able to go downstairs into Alf-Rescos cafe and have wonderful breakfasts from 7am – which meant we could set off early on our walks. I’d really recommend this place.

We had an amazing stay at Stargazy! The property is absolutely gorgeous and the views of the sea and Burgh Island were stunning.

The ‘Stargazy Arms’ was definitely a highlight and we really enjoyed having a BBQ and drinks on the top deck. I would highly recommend booking this property, you will not be disappoi…

Amazing 5 nights stay at this beautifully furnished new property. Incredible location with panoramic views of the river and harbour. 20 mins walk to the town – a bit far for some people maybe but we wanted a quieter spot. Clean and comfortable bedrooms, modern kitchen with top of the line appliances, complementary coffee was a nice touch, good quality linen and toiletries. Great secure parking space. Paul was friend…

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.

A beautiful townhouse in a great location with views out to the Dart estuary, right around to Kingswear and the town. Exceptional. Parking in garage under the property too is a very big bonus.

Exceptional place to stay, tucked away down the most Devon of Devon lanes, The Cabin has it all. We had a fantastic time in one of our favourite places on the planet – easy to get to the sea, and the moor – plus the hosts have thought of everything. Loved it.

“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!”
