home safely after a fabulous 5 nights at Lower Heywood. The apartment is beautifully kept and cosy. It has everything you need for a self catering break away. It is in a perfect central spot too. Its incredibly cosy, the bed was very comfy, fabulous shower, beautiful bath, (needs a blind replacing above the bed. For someone like me who sleeps better with the light shut out) Quirky, going down to bed 😊 Great that it…

We had a very enjoyable few days in this charming apartment. it was as good as and even better than the photos. It was beautifully appointed and the views from the windows over the Dart were breathtaking and wonderful to wake up to each morning. Luckily we were blessed with perfect autumn weather. Parking is a problem in most towns these days but we were lucky to find free parking at the end of the road. Paul was ve…

Can’t wait to return, photos don’t do this place justice!!! I can’t wait to stay again! Kitchen well equipped, we cooked supper for 10! Fab! Comfortable beds and luxury bedding, such a treat!”

A great home, well suited to families. We were 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs and had loads of space. The garden is huge and fantastic to play around, there is also a BBQ to use and lots of board games plus the table tennis table to keep everyone entertained on rainy days. Longish walk to the beach but great location close to both Thurlestone and Batham Beaches.

Cedar House is a beautiful property with space for 8 people. Well fitted out with thoughtful touches. It is located in the lovely village of Stoke Fleming, with a great pub and Italian restaurant within a few minutes walk. The beautiful shingle beach at Blackpool Sands is about 15 mins walk on the coast path (fairly steep on the way back!)

We had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault the accommodation. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and exactly as described. It felt welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing, yet convenient for getting out and about. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made everything very easy from…
