I had an incredible stay at this charming Airbnb apartment in Totnes! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the centrum, with easy access to local shops and cafes. The apartment itself is cozy, clean, and equipped with everything I needed to work remotely for the week. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which made my workdays smooth and stress-free. The host was very responsive and flexible regarding check-in…

“Beautiful little place. Very short walk to Brixham harbour and a great location to explore South Devon. We had some lovely evening walks down to the harbour and we found the location ideal, even with my aunt and some mobility issues (walking stick). Paul was extremely responsive when we struggled to find the front door from the parked car. The place was immaculate, all bed linen smelt so fresh and the beds were so …

An exceptional place with a view that we sat and looked out at for hours. We had both rain and shine, and each were equally as enjoyable at this place. Can’t recommend more and will definitely be back

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and really comfy. It was a slightly longer hill walk than anticipated (plus the stairs) into and back from town and the parking was a bit tricky with a larger car but managable. The location was great. Book in advance for restaurants! We had a great stay. The beds were also extremely comfortable. Thank you!

Second visit, as good as ever in terms of location and amenities. Parking is a major bonus. Beds are the comfiest we’ve ever slept in on holiday and having so many bathrooms is a real luxury! Highly recommend.

We came for a much needed break and Lower Heywood was the perfect place to relax and unwind. We loved the roll top bath, powerful shower and the kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The food festival was a bonus for a wonderful town that has a special place in our hearts as we got engaged here 32 years ago. We enjoyed a farm shop breakfast at Stokely as well as visiting Burgh Island and walking from Dartm…

We had a great time here despite the weather not being the best. The house had everything we needed, although a bbq would be nice, particularly if it had been warmer. We enjoyed seeing the animals and being so remote the stars on a clear night were amazing and we were treated to a wonderful rainbow against the beautiful Devon hills one evening. Once you get used to the narrow roads everywhere is accessible and we ma…

We had a lovely stay in Dartmouth. A beautiful house in the perfect location to walk into town or for a swim at Sugary Cove. A quick bus ride to Blackpool Sands beach too! Paul was a responsive host who quickly answered any of our queries.
