Lovely apartment in a great location. Really enjoyed our stay. The mattresses and pillows are super comfy so great nights sleeps experienced by all of us. The bathroom has one of the best showers I have ever used. Great pressure. Totally recommend this apartment and would love to stay here again.

Second time staying at Trafalgar Cottage, but first time under current owners. The cottage is (still!) stunning with superb views, and this time round parking was much simpler as we managed to get free parking along the embankment (it’s only free until May!). Paul the new owner was great, booking was simple, instructions clear, and he responded quickly to messages. Overall highly recommended!

We were extremely happy with our booking. The home was fantastic, clean, comfortable, well equipped and had a beautiful garden and sun terrace. No complaints from us at all. Good walking access to Kingsbridge, although up hill on the way back. The only thing I would say is the split level layout inside may be an issue to those with mobility issues. We loved it here and would love to come back.

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.

“Well, this place certainly has the WOW Factor… absolutely stunning, I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a house and been blown away like this before. I booked this for my family to celebrate my sisters 40th and we all had the best time, the house is faultless and simply amazing, the views are amazing, location wise it’s a short walk to all the shops and pubs which again is a big plus, Paul was a great host friendly…

We had a wonderful stay in the cabin. It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend away. We had an amazing stay in the cabin, thank you! The cabin had everything we needed and the bottle of wine was a very nice surprise! Thank you for the flexibility with the check in and out times.
