The Soltice is located in such way that we had beautiful River Dart views and great access to the town. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds very comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and would gladly book it again in the future.

If you’re looking for peace and quiet this is the perfect spot. The cabin itself is cozy, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with everything you might need. One of the highlights for me was the sounds of birds. The surrounding area is perfect for morning walks or just sitting outside with a cup of coffee. The hosts were kind, responsive, and made sure everything was just right for our stay.

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!

What a fabulous few days we’ve had at Stargazy over Christmas. The location was perfect, off the beaten track, but within reach of pubs/shops etc. The house itself is beautiful with views of the beach and ocean, a wonderful backdrop for Christmas dinner it has to be said. Paul was a fantastic host, always responsive, leaving a bottle of bubbly for our arrival and decorating the lounge with a lovely tree.

“What a beautiful home. So well looked after and appointed. Beautifully clean and very pretty. The communication with the owner was superb and we are certainly going to go back again. The are is fabulous and we really appreciated all the tips the owner left in a file for us. So much better than a hotel room.”

Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I don’t think there are many more perfect places for a small group in Dartmouth. We didn’t mind the short uphill walk to walk off all the food we were eating! I particularly liked the big red/orange chair and watching the boats pass from the window. For a holiday place, the beds were also amazingly comfortable – possibly as comfy as our bed at home which isn’t usually the c…
