Amazing house, perfect for our family trip. Access to the property is through a very narrow walled drive way which would not be suitable for all cars so bear this in mind. Great location just a short drive or bus trip to Dartmouth. 20 minute walk to Blackpool Sands beach or via the bus which is very quick. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of fridge/freezer space.

Hideaway Cottage is a delightful thatched cottage in the pretty village of Ringmore. Tastefully equipped with everything you need for your holiday. Local pub in walking distance with excellent food. A short drive to Bigbury beach and the iconic Burgh Island. A perfect holiday location I will definitely be coming again

Just back from a fantastic three nights at the place. The location of the house is fabulous, just 1-2 minutes walk from the beach. It felt very homely and comfortably sleeps 8 Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the sea and beach was sublime. Drinks up in the bar on the top decking at the back of the house in the evening with stunning views was real bonus. There are plenty of games to keep you occupied and we didn’…

“Beautiful home in the most stunning location. The kids loved exploring the grounds and the view was very much appreciated. Plenty of space in the house for all 12 of us, and very clean. Host sent a really useful link with all information required for check in and our stay, as well as tips on places to explore, which we used alot! Would definitely recommend and good location for exploring surrounding area”.

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 had such a fantastic stay here – probably our favourite Devon spot to date – the kids loved staying at The Hen House, being right on the farm and being greeted by the sheep and getting to see the calves. The space was perfect for us with 3 kids, very comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean. Everything had been thought of and we were in an ideal location, close to so many beautiful beaches and attractions – we …

Pomeroy Cottage was perfect for our stay in Totnes. minutes across the lovely bridge over the Dart, the location enabled us to walk to the centre of town in minutes yet feel like we were living in a quiet enclave when we came home. We found the house attractive, clean and comfortable & the perfect base for visiting Dartmoor, Teignmouth and the English Riviera beaches.

Beautifully presented accommodation, spotlessly clean – everything looked new. The location was perfect for us to get around Dartmouth and the free parking was a big money saver. The outdoor garden was ample for our needs but does require climbing up a flight of stairs from the property and is overlooked. The host was very helpful and met us on arrival to make sure we had everything we needed and would be contactabl…
