We had a wonderful week at Stargazy. Amazing location, right on the beach. Beautiful views, and lovely outside space. The house itself was comfortable and well appointed – including a very well kitted-out kitchen. Thank you!

We felt very comfortable in the accommodation. It was super clean and excellently equipped (though a few more plates, knives, and forks would be nice if you want to make proper use of the dishwasher).

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Every bedroom had the most incredible views of the water, and we loved sitting out on the deck enjoying our breakfast and taking in the scenery. The house is beautifully furnished, with lovely artwork and so many thoughtful touches throughout. It was such a special place to stay, and we would absolutely love to come back again!

Really enjoyed our stay and wished we were staying longer! The house is beautiful and great for a big family group. The kitchen is a lovely social space, the lounge is so comfortable and we loved eating outside on the patio. Easy bus journey into Dartmouth if you don’t want to drive and find parking. The Green Dragon pub in the village is brilliant for food and drinks – the staff were very accommodating and helpful.

Peaceful spot but easy to visit different and fantastic beaches, Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmoor. The Byre had lots of space for our family, was well-equipped, clean, comfortable and homely. We’d very happily stay here again.

We had the best week at this place and absolutely loved Dartmouth. It was spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped and has a phenomenal outdoor space with a phenomenal view! Reaching the place by car and sorting out parking was a bit difficult as we had to move our car around each day in order to avoid getting a ticket, but once you’ve worked it out it’s all good. The place itself is perfect and Paul was a helpfu…

We had a lovely stay, the apartment has been beautifully renovated & looked just like the pictures. We had great weather so could make use of the balcony. We were able to walk down to the harbour area avoiding the main road, and caught a bus back to save a walk up the hill in the heat. Any pub or restaurant visits require going down to the harbour as this is in a residential area, but the location is very quiet and …
