Great place to stay for a few days. Village Pub needs to be booked for a meal weeks in advance. Lovely area, beaches great.

Very nice duplex apartment, well appointed in a central area of Dartmouth – a few minutes walk from everything in the town. I would use it again.

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 a wonderful stay. The perfect house for our extended family. So peaceful but within easy reach of places to visit. The donkeys in the next field were adorable. I cannot recommend thi house highly enough. Would love visit again sometime”.

We had a wonderful stay in the cabin. It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. We had an amazing stay in the cabin, thank you! The cabin had everything we needed and the bottle of wine was a very nice surprise! Thank you for the flexibility with the check in and out times.

Our stay was perfect no faults at all, all exactly as described. The apartment was so modern and clean the balcony was private not overlooked by anyone. Good location also, quick 5 minute drive into Dartmouth centre and around a 7 minute drive to Blackpool sands beach( no country lanes either!!) would highly recommend

The main bedroom could do with a bigger bed – it’s a double not a king! But overall a fantastic property and highly recommend

Stunning views by the river. Beautiful house with lots of room to sit and enjoy the views. Well appointed kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine. Tea, coffee provided as well as a hamper with wine to welcome us. Great place to stay with a big group of family or friends. Very short walk into town to restock groceries ( a great M&S in town) wander the beautiful streets or go out to one of the many lovely restaurants. W…

Paul always communicated well with my queries. I would recommend using the postcode to find the property as the road name didn’t work. The property is down a very quiet country lane – one of those very narrow, grass growing in the middle country lanes. It was easy to get into and when you do you’ll find a very clean and spacious property. The layout worked well for us in that we were in the kingsize ensuite on the g…
