We had a lovely stay at the property as a family with 2 young children (5 and 1 years). The property is incredibly quiet and the neighbours on the farm were very friendly. There were toys, games and craft items available for the children. We had an issue with the house whilst we were there, but both the host and owners were very responsive, resolving it on the same day. Note that the listed location of East Allingto…

A beautiful apartment with lovely views across the estuary. The walk from the town is about 10mins and fine without a lot to carry. It’s quite a long incline. Not steep though. And it’s definitely worth it when you get there! Super comfortable and the photos don’t do it justice! We had a great stay and would certainly book it again. The park and ride is very efficient and we left the car there and used the many mode…

‘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 …

Fantastic trip, and wonderful accommodation. The river views kept us entertained when the stormy weather stopped us getting outside. Would highly recommend.

We had a lovely time, and the photographs do not do the garden any justice. A beautiful space to spend time away relaxing. We’d love to return.

We actually couldn’t quite believe how incredible the view of the River Dart was from the living room and the master bedroom. Absolutely stunning. We brought our binoculars and loved being able to see all the boats coming and going and to watch the dinghy racing right in front of us. Really clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in the garage was great. The shops and restaurants are a …
