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…

This is an absolutely fabulous an very spacious apartment! Extremely well equipped for cooking. Really big beautiful master bedroom and bathroom and a good twin with own bathroom. So close to lovely coves, the castle, beaches. Dartmouth is fantastic for families. We loved the little ferries and boat trip to the castle plus the steam train. Also great walks round the cliffs and coves.

Stunning views by the river. Beautiful house with lots of room to sit and enjoy the views. Well appointed kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine. Tea, coffee provided as well as a hamper with wine to welcome us. Great place to stay with a big group of family or friends. Very short walk into town to restock groceries ( a great M&S in town) wander the beautiful streets or go out to one of the many lovely restaurants. W…

We came for a much needed break and Lower Heywood was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved the roll top bath, powerful shower and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The food festival was a bonus for a wonderful town that has a special place in our hearts as we got engaged here 32 years ago. We enjoyed a farm shop breakfast at Stokely as well as visiting Burgh Island and walking from Dartm…
