We had a very enjoyable stay at the Dart Loft, the place was very easy to find very close to town centre. Everything available in the property we needed during our stay and the most comfortable beds that we have stayed in places away from home. I would definitely recommend the dart loft and would love to visit again. Weather was perfect during our stay.

“Stop scrolling! This place is beautiful with stunning views. We had a magical three nights stay here to recharge before Christmas. Dartmouth never disappoints and this place was perfect to relax and unwind that is just a stones throw from all that Dartmouth has to offer”.

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.

We loved it here and would love to come back.

The most amazing and charming cottage. We had the best time staying at Cider Cottage for Christmas with our two children. The cottage was clean, tidy, well equipped with all cooking utensils and a Christmas tree was even provided, which was a lovely touch. The only small improvement we would suggest is to have a full pack of logs on arrival as we were only left with three and these were burnt in an hour or two with…

We had a wonderful three night stay at the Cartshed. Paul was very responsive and check in details were very well explained. We used what.three.words to easily find the location which I would recommend as the Cartshed is off the beaten track down some small Devon country lanes, although they were easy to navigate and we met minimal traffic. The inside space was beautiful, clean and cosy, we particularly enjoyed brea…

We had an amazing stay at Stargazy . We stayed for three nights and the property was exactly as described and pictured. It’s a stunning location, moments away from Bigbury beach, and the Airbnb was stunning. It had beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The outdoor barbecue space was particularly wonderful as was the living room with its panoramic glass sliding doors facing out to …
