“We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay at Higher Venice for my mother’s 60th Birthday. Plenty of room for us all as a party of 7 adults, 5 children and 2 dogs. Lovely views and a very quiet location. Property was very clean and had all amenities required including a nice patio and BBQ area. A great base from which to explore this beautiful part of Devon”.

“Provided an excellent base for our reunion. Very comfortable and homely house. Loved all the artwork. Kitchen is stocked with anything you might need. Spotlessly clean and beds very comfortable with quality bedding and pillows. Could not have asked for more. As stated in description parking is limited to one car behind property – a mere minute walk. The price you pay for being so close to Totnes which was 10 mins w…
