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…

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is beautiful and really comfy. It was a slightly longer hill walk than anticipated (plus the stairs) into and back from town and the parking was a bit tricky with a larger car but managable. The location was great. Book in advance for restaurants! We had a great stay. The beds were also extremely comfortable. Thank you!

“Great house with great location; there was just 5 minutes to city centre. Paul was very welcoming and we were greeted with a nice welcoming pack. Some board games were available in the living room as well which had a beautiful view. Beds were also very clean and comfortable. Thank you.”

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing home with the most beautiful surroundings overlooking the water and the steam train and is within walking distance of the shops. The house more than met expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. WiFi is installed and there are also a lot of games to entertain yourself with. It has our highest recommendations. We’d love to come back another day.

Extremely cosy and spacious cottage set in a beautiful setting. We felt at home straight away in the warmth decor and spent the perfect Christmas with the family. The host was very proactive and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Cedar cottage for families looking to explore Devon.

We stayed at The Boathouse in Torcross in July, and the accommodation was perfect. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and was spotlessly clean. The location couldn’t have been better – it was absolutely ideal. We were lucky enough to find free parking spaces most of the time, which was a real bonus. The local pub is lovely, serving fantastic food with friendly staff, and they also have the most delic…

I’d definitely stay there again. incredibly beautiful views and a very cosy apartment. Can’t emphasize how beautiful the view was!! we spent all our time sitting next to the large French windows! a very nice kitchen and squeaky clean bathrooms. Great location in Kingswear, close to the ferry, train and bus. I’d recommend 100%

Perfect location, perfect accommodation and very responsive hosts. We had a lovely but brief time here but enjoyed so much that we are already planning our return next year, but will definitely stay for longer next time. Thank you so much
