We stayed here for 2 nights at the start of March & had a wonderful stay. The descriptions and pictures do not do this house justice & the master bedroom and outside seating even had a sea view! We travelled as a girl group of friends but all agreed we would be back with our partners and families.

The place was so quiet we fell asleep with ease. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen has almost everything in it and works great. Neighbours were friendly and local animals, cows, cats were all welcoming as well.

“We stayed in Totnes for the weekend for a friend’s wedding a 15 minute drive away. The flat was beautifully decorated, clean and really welcoming. There was even a lovely speaker that we put music on so we could bop to music whilst getting ready. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It may have been really nice to have some tea bags and maybe condiments as buying a whole box of tea bags for 3 days seems ex…

“The most immaculate holiday home we have ever been to. The accommodation was absolutely spotless! We arrived in torrential February rain but were very lucky enough to park a few meters away due to no parking restrictions out of season. We were instantly cheered up when we entered the property, which is even more beautiful than the photographs in the listing. We also very much appreciated the milk and bottle of wine…

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The property was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home from the moment we arrived. Communication with the host was excellent throughout—helpful, and quick to respond, which made everything smooth and stress-free. It’s i…

The barn is wonderful, the only comment I would make which isn’t negative is that the kitchen and bedroom head space is very limited particularly in the bedroom however once in bed it doesn’t matter. I bump my head a few times much to the amusement of my wife. We had an absolutely fantastic week long holiday very peaceful and I would highly recommend a stay if you are looking for peace and quite in a great location …

We returned home last week after a lovely stay. The house was everything we needed it to be as a base for our holiday. Lovely outside space that we enjoyed eating our meals at because we were lucky with the weather. Dartmouth is beautiful, the house is right at the top of the hill from the main harbour and things so is a bit of a walk all uphill on the way back. However we found it easy to park in dartmouth main car…

“We stayed at ‘The Cabin’ for 5 nights & by the end we didn’t want to leave – We wished we had booked the spot up for longer!! The cabin is beautifully nestled amongst the trees so you are surrounded by nature & can hear the constant flow of the nearby river! Amazing place to get away from it all & relax. The weather during our stay was cold & wet, but thanks to the wood burner in the lounge it was so cozy inside! P…
