Thank you for a lovely stay in the cabin. The setting is beautiful, especially the meadow at the top. We all enjoyed using the fire pit and listening out for the birds. The river is also a lot of fun and the perfect place for playing Pooh Sticks.

We enjoyed another wonderful week in the apartment. Very comfortable and wonderful views of the Dart from the sitting room and terrace. Just a short walk into town to visit shops and local restaurants. Naval College tour is a must. Very thoughtful provision of parking permit for park and ride facility but unfortunately during the time of visit the shuttle bus had ceased to run from 13th September despite restricted …

Superb property with top quality fixtures and fittings. Super clean light and airy. Pristine white bedding and towels although we expected regular soap and shampoo rather than the gimmicky boxed pads! Thank you so much for replacing the one feather quilt with a synthetic quilt. This was very much appreciated although despite the description we personally felt the beds were standard doubles not King size. The kitchen…

“Beautiful little place. Very short walk to Brixham harbour and a great location to explore South Devon. We had some lovely evening walks down to the harbour and we found the location ideal, even with my aunt and some mobility issues (walking stick). Paul was extremely responsive when we struggled to find the front door from the parked car. The place was immaculate, all bed linen smelt so fresh and the beds were so …

Just back from a fantastic three nights at the place. The location of the house is fabulous, just 1-2 minutes walk from the beach. It felt very homely and comfortably sleeps 8 Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea and beach was sublime. Drinks up in the bar on the top decking at the back of the house in the evening with stunning views was real bonus. There are plenty of games to keep you occupied and we didn’…
