Excellent place to stay right in the heart of Dartmouth. Easy access to all the town centre has to offer without the usual climb up a big hill. Clean and tidy, great for couple with the bath and good shower with plenty of storage. Bed was comfy. Would recommend to others.

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…

We had a wonderful stay in Thurlestone – a long weekend – Thurs to Monday and despite Storm Amy we had some good times on the beach and local farm park attractions. The home was wonderfully appointed and had everything we needed and even suitable toys for the 18 month old in our party!

“We stayed in Totnes for the weekend for a friend’s wedding a 15 minute drive away. The flat was beautifully decorated, clean and really welcoming. There was even a lovely speaker that we put music on so we could bop to music whilst getting ready. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed. It may have been really nice to have some tea bags and maybe condiments as buying a whole box of tea bags for 3 days seems ex…

“We were looking for beach front and this was certainly that. An idyllic home in a beautiful location. Amazing to hear the sea all the time. There is a local coffee shop, chip shop restaurant/ takeaway. The nearby farm shop was a great find. This home in a beautiful location was just perfect to explore surrounding south Devon coastal walks and beaches”.

We absolutely loved our stay at Ritson Farm and highly recommend it. The lay out of the house worked especially well for 2 families and 1 grandparent. I cannot fault the house – it was beautifully clean, spacious and well equipped. Each room was decorated beautifully and the whole house had a lovely feel to it. The garden was lovely to sit out in in the morning and for a BBQ and games on the evening. Communication w…

One of the most beautiful places we ever stayed in. Right from entering the appartment we felt at home – the nook in which the bed is is so cosy, the open kitchen makes it feel so homely. The views over the harbour are unbelievable, because you are so high up you feel like you are on top of the world. The interior is so cute and we especially loved the big table to work from. When they say private it really is priva…

This property has been finished to an extremely high standard and didn’t disappoint in any way. The views of Dartmouth are amazing and, being tucked away, is really quiet and secluded. The castle is only a short walk away as is the coastal path if you like walking. Dartmouth town is only 15mins or so by foot. I would certainly like to return in the future.

We had a great stay and would definitely go back! It’s a lovely, modern house with gorgeous views and is on a farm (so great for kids to see the tractors / cows / pigs in the mornings!). A friendly cat visited us all the time too. It’s so close to the beach at Torcross (and the Start Bay Inn for great fish and chips) and well located for Salcombe / Dartmouth etc. The two bathrooms were really useful. The only things…
