home safely after a fabulous 5 nights at Lower Heywood. The apartment is beautifully kept and cosy. It has everything you need for a self catering break away. It is in a perfect central spot too. Its incredibly cosy, the bed was very comfy, fabulous shower, beautiful bath, (needs a blind replacing above the bed. For someone like me who sleeps better with the light shut out) Quirky, going down to bed 😊 Great that it…

“The place was spacious, clean and well presented with everything we needed for a very enjoyable long weekend break with friends. The kitchen was well equipped allowing us to easily rustle up a cooked breakfast for six! The house is conveniently located close to the town centre with numerous pubs and restaurants all within a short walking distance. From the top deck there are stunning views across the town towards t…

‘Absolutely beautiful property! We loved the kitchen and dining room space with the big blue comfy sofa to lounge on. The house was absolutely spotless and it was great having a bathroom on each floor (both with amazing showers). Beds were very comfortable and you have the option of having a queen bed or 2 singles in one room. Although the walk into town isn’t far, walking back up the hill is good exercise! The one …

Absolutely loved this place and don’t think the pictures do it justice. Beautiful cottage with amazing fireplace and period features. It was perfect for a winter break, a really cosy and peaceful place, but also imagine it would make a wonderful spring/summer break with the orchard and bbq areas. It is down narrow lanes, but this is for me added to the character and sense of peace and remoteness. Also, Paul was real…

Our third stay and always spotlessly clean and welcoming. It is in a quiet area but still within a short walk to town with the added bonus of a parking permit. Tracey is extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

Lovely place to stay. I became a regular at Seven Stars as it was really close. Convenient to everything. You do not need a car here. I even took the Tally Ho bus to Salcombe Beach.

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing home with the most beautiful surroundings overlooking the water and the steam train and is within walking distance of the shops. The house more than met expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. WiFi is installed and there are also a lot of games to entertain yourself with. It has our highest recommendations. We’d love to come back another day.

What a great stay myself, my husband and two daughters had! We all felt at home straight away, the cabin had absolutely everything we needed and we couldn’t believe how beautifully it is decorated and furnished. The highlight for my daughter’s was toasting marshmallows on the firepit in the meadow. We visited Dartmouth, Salcombe, Kingsbridge, Bantham beach and Pennywell Farm. Paul was great at promptly responding to…

We’ve just returned home to Bristol after the most amazing 3 night stay at the Rivershack with our dog and 5 year old son. What an absolutely fantastic location, literally ON the estuary with insane views. We arrived in the dark (which was our fault!) and wasn’t ideal but once we found our way to the shack it was everything we hoped it would be and more. Firstly the shack was warm, homely and immaculately clean – it…
