We had the best time staying here as a family of 6. The house was wonderfully well-equipped with everything we could possibly need. It’s in a perfect location for beach days, walks, and visiting Burgh Island. We absolutely loved ‘The Stargazy Arms’, the upper terrace, playing darts made our evenings so special. A perfect Thursday to Sunday getaway!

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…

“Slice of heaven. The pictures and all the positive reviews aren’t even close to what you will experience once you step in to the property. Fully equipped – basics easily acquired from a local co-op down the road. Three levels of views for guests to enjoy – picturesque, panoramic, stunning.”

A hideaway above the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth. Great views and super comfy mattress! The apartment is totally original and quirky. Loved it. Paul has been really helpful from the initial booking and after check out. Easy parking either on the street or in the nearby car park. And the breakfast was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Higher Venice for my mother’s 60th Birthday. Plenty of room for us all as a party of 7 adults, 5 children and 2 dogs. Lovely views and a very quiet location. Property was very clean and had all amenities required including a nice patio and BBQ area. A great base from which to explore this beautiful part of Devon”.

This house was a beautiful find, the surrounding scenery was stunning. The house comfortably slept 8 adults and 4 children with plenty of lounging space, that being the sitting room/multiple tables/outdoor space. Paul was extremely kind in allowing a slightly earlier check which was very helpful. The location of the house is beautiful but comes with the awkward country lanes as you get closer, with some being extrem…

We loved staying for 2 nights in this great house in its beautiful location. It was very comfortable and we enjoyed the wonderful views. Nice walk into town and a pub close by. Fantastic! Thank you.

Wonderful location, as it is accessed via a car park with a very short walk along a rivers edge & into a field – finding it in the dark was a challenge but another time it would be a breeze. Beautiful place on the water – at high tide you felt as you were almost floating in the water. And so wonderful watching how your view altered throughout the day – with boats & hydrofoils. Place is very nicely decked out with to…
