Stargazy was just as fantastic as it looks in the photos. it’s extremely well-equipped and had everything we needed. Everything was clean and comfy. What really stood out was the amazing location, and stunning views across the front of the house. I had a lovely birthday weekend here and would highly recommend.

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.

Just back from a lovely week at this property. Its a fantastic house in a great location for a 20 min walk into Dartmouth centre or a 5 min walk to the castle and nearby coves. Would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful house and views. Stunning location just to relax and watch life on the River Dart, potter around historic Dartmouth or get out onto the coast path. Wonderful Sun trap that made late February feel like early summer! There are quite a few steps down to the property and lack of parking was the only downside. Highly recommend.

“Absolutely stunning location with the best views of the estuary and sea. The property is very spacious and comfortable and clean.
