We had a lovely few days as a family in the home. The house is a one off and beautiful. The handy walkable distance to Dartmouth was ideal to discover the restaurants and shops. Look forward to returning in the future!

The property is located in an extremely beautiful and peaceful area, surrounded by nature in every direction, creating a truly relaxing and calming atmosphere. The house was clean, well prepared for guests, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. A particularly lovely touch was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree, which we appreciated greatly, especially as we were travel…

“The perfect place for our family of 8 adults. Close to everything, beautiful and it even had a decorated Christmas tree. Quick responses to any queries and kindly allowed early entry and later departure with no fuss. Would definitely return”.

Stunning property. Super warm. Hot tub very well maintained with daily checks. Lovely views. Small construction site nearby wasn’t a problem at all. Very responsive host. Great facilities but make sure you book spa well in advance!

Ritson Farm was perfect for our needs. The accomodation is great, lovely bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces and a large and very well equipped kitchen. The setting was very peaceful and our grandchildren loved seeing the donkeys in the field and playing in the garden. We were only there for 2 nights for a family wedding and would have liked to stay longer!

Solstice is a lovely, bright and spacious place to stay. It is in the most wonderful location with beautiful views to keep you happy even on the rainiest of days, and is a perfect base for pottering into Dartmouth or enjoying a walk along the coastal path. I very much hope to stay there again!

We stayed for a couple of nights to break up our trip to Cornwall. A very peaceful location, right in the heart of a forest. Yes the lanes are narrow on route, but that’s how it always is in this part of the world. The lodge was spotless and very roomy for our family of 5. The outside space was a nice spot to relax in the warm evenings. Only here for a couple of days but managed to visit Blackpool Sands and Bantham …

We had a lovely stay. The barn was well equipped and in a great location with the beach just a 15-20 walk away and the village store and pub just around the corner. The area is beautiful with a lot of stunning coastal walks and Dartmouth and Brixham not far away. We can highly recommend staying at this place.

Beautiful, perfect spot, just on the beach. Quiet with amazing views over the beach. Contacted host about turning up hot water and immediately received a lovely message explaining where the switch was. Comfortable and spacious place that has been part of creating new lovely memories ! Thank you
