We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivershack! We felt privileged to stay there it is so unique the way it is nestled on the estuary. The views of the estuary were spectacular always something different to see. Great for bird watching ! The place was well equipped, clean, with comfy beds. Communication from Paul was great. I definitely wouldn’t recommend finding it in the dark although once we knew where it was i…

I have just thoroughly enjoyed a short break away with my 3 adult children. Perfect accommodation – modern, spotlessly clean, great amenities, beautiful views and just perfect for exploring the surrounding area. I’m glad i paid extra for the hot tub as this was a great added feature to have at the end of a long day, to relax and look across the golf course at the views. I fully recommend this lodge and would definit…

We had a wonderful stay at Cedar house! The accommodation was clean, tidy with thoughtful extras. We loved the building itself there was lots of character with all the oak beams and the unique layout. Wonderful location too being so close to beautiful Dartmouth which was foodie heaven and the lovely hidden gem- Blackrock Sands! Very enjoyable and relaxing stay, thank you 🤩

This place was just incredible!! My friends and I were so impressed and the photos really don’t do it justice. We had a fantastic time and there was so much to do! The property itself was incredibly well maintained and clean. The kitchen and living area is large and spacious and the back garden with the bar area was great for bbqs. I will definitely be returning soon!

Great location & lovely cottage. We had an issue with no hot water. I am dissatisfied with the hosts response that it was because the hot water was on a timer as it doesn’t make sense that it wasn’t set to come on for the morning. I would assume this has now been rectified, but I would check before you book.

Great little cabin. Exceptionally clean and well appointed. Woke to bird song each day. Loved the log fire. Perfect if you want to get away from it all. It is a remote location and difficult to get about with the dreaded Devon lanes surrounding it, but if you want peace, you will find it here. Good luck finding the microwave and washing machine! It’s there….just not where you might expect!

Pomeroy Cottage was perfect for our stay in Totnes. minutes across the lovely bridge over the Dart, the location enabled us to walk to the centre of town in minutes yet feel like we were living in a quiet enclave when we came home. We found the house attractive, clean and comfortable & the perfect base for visiting Dartmoor, Teignmouth and the English Riviera beaches.
