We had such a fantastic stay here – probably our favourite Devon spot to date – the kids loved staying at The Hen House, being right on the farm and being greeted by the sheep and getting to see the calves. The space was perfect for us with 3 kids, very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Everything had been thought of and we were in an ideal location, close to so many beautiful beaches and attractions – we …

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…

Lovely, clean home with very comfortable beds. It’s located on a steep hill, but it offers beautiful views and is just a short, easy walk to the marina. We loved being so close to Dartmouth’s great boutique shops, cafes, and ice cream spots. Perfect for a family stay!

“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…

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely house in South Devon, and it truly felt like a home away from home. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the cleanliness and attention to detail throughout the property. The spacious layout was perfect for our family, accommodating two young kids and our two dogs with ease. The views from the house were absolutely stunning, providing a picturesque ba…
