“Great stay! In great condition and as described. Paul was extremely proactive when we had some unavoidable issues and sorted these as quick as he could. Would definitely look at staying again for a family get together! Thank you!”

The Brambles was a nice residence for me in Devon. Paul and wife were at hand to help with any issues. The place is well kept. They showed me the local Tesco for food and pointed me to the bus service in the area saving me transport money. I highly recommend their place to others visiting this part of Devon. They offered me a complimentary bottle of wine which was really nice during the weekend. William

Hideaway Cottage is a delightful thatched cottage in the pretty village of Ringmore. Tastefully equipped with everything you need for your holiday. Local pub in walking distance with excellent food. A short drive to Bigbury beach and the iconic Burgh Island. A perfect holiday location I will definitely be coming again

We spent an amazing family weekend here. The cottage was clean and comfortable and felt like home immediately. The location was a relatively easy access to Salcombe with only 15-20mins drive. The check in could have been more flexible given the long trip we had to make to get to Devon. Otherwise we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very responsive and we highly recommend this place to anyone.

We have been there with 1 toddler and a baby for two days. We have enjoyed it a lot. The farm was next to our house. The house was very clean as shown in the photos. However we have struggled to find a halal spot to eat near there.

The place was a great space! The kitchen was clean and it was lovely to have a big dining area as well as a comfortable living room to relax in. Our dog loved the garden and you can see the harbour which was a bonus! Three comfy double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to choose from. The street was quiet & plenty of space to park! Only tiny thing to note is that there wasn’t any welcome items like coffee/ milk/ butter or lo…

“We had a brilliant stay at the boathouse, the location is incredible and the views breathtaking! We knew the area and so it was the perfect base for us for both relaxing at Torcross with friends or on Slapton Sounds, or exploring nearby Dartmouth or Blackpool sounds. I found the property more spacious than I was expecting and so plenty of room for 4 of you, we did find it a little challenging with our youngest daug…

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…
