Absolutely stunning house. We booked this gem of a house for my wife’s birthday weekend, and we were totally blown away by what we experienced. The house is very well equipped, close to some lovely restaurants and pubs, and has one of the best views you could imagine. You could easily be forgiven for thinking that you’re in Monaco. Our host Paul, was prompt with communications leading up to our stay, and was very ac…

“Fabulous little ‘find’ in the heart of Dartmouth above a wonderful cafe serving incredible breakfasts! The room was clean & functional with seaside memorabilia, paintings & a comfy king size bed & the coffee & tea making facilities were a pleasing extra! The bathroom was like a tardis with a huge shower & served its purpose for our stay!”

A really big house that was full of everything we needed, such peaceful country surroundings yet close to the towns and places we wanted to visit. Would definitely stay here again.

We’ve just completed a 21-day stay at 9 Riverside Wharf, and it truly stole our hearts. The place was beautifully prepared with thoughtful details that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped inside, all the fatigue of the journey faded away — it felt like a peaceful haven for our family. We’re so grateful for the warmth and care that welcomed us. Thank you for making us feel at home.

Great little cabin. Exceptionally clean and well appointed. Woke to bird song each day. Loved the log fire. Perfect if you want to get away from it all. It is a remote location and difficult to get about with the dreaded Devon lanes surrounding it, but if you want peace, you will find it here. Good luck finding the microwave and washing machine! It’s there….just not where you might expect!

We had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault the accommodation. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and exactly as described. It felt welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing, yet convenient for getting out and about. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made everything very easy from…

“What a wonderful week we’ve had! The Hen House is spotlessly clean, perfectly equipped and brilliantly placed to explore beautiful South West Devon. Thank you for being such great hosts. The children have enjoyed farm life (especially seeing the baby calves, ducks, chickens, goats, cats and puppies!) We hope to be back soon!”

Very clean and well equipped cottage in extremely peaceful surroundings. Close to all local towns and beaches. Narrow country lanes, would recommend using Hutchleigh Cross to gain access. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to friends/family. Lovely peaceful and quiet location. Lots of towns to visit and enjoyed the local beaches.

“We had an excellent week in Lower Deck. The cottage provided everything we needed. It is furnished to a high standard and well equipped. The beginning of town is around 5 mins and a little over 10 to the centre. Parking is always an issue in Dartmouth but doesn’t spoil another great week.”
