I really cannot recommend this property enough. The lodge and its location were stunning and Paul was an extremely helpful host. The facilities at the adjacent hotel were excellent too. We had a fantastic holiday and I can’t thank you enough

Pictures don’t do it justice! Beautifully decorated – attention to detail in every room. Thoughtful touches provided. Went as a family of 7 plus dog and plenty of room for us all to sit & not be on top of each other. Walking distance to the beach & the Italian just by the house is amazing – highly recommend. Dartmouth park & ride is about 10 min easy drive away making a lovely day out. Loved our stay & hope to retur…

The apartment was well placed, comfortable and very clean. Totnes itself is an interesting town, and is close to many attractions in the area. We used the short term car park which is very close and is free after 6pm. We then paid for one hour in the morning as we were always away by 9am! Although the dishwasher wasn’t working, Paul got it fixed the day before we left. Various cleaning materials were provided, but m…

We loved it, and I’ve already been looking…

“What a fantastic find! If you’re looking for a beach house with tremendous access and convenience, you really can’t do better. We absolutely loved our stay and are already talking about when we can return. The upper terrace on the garden was wonderful and private and the children adored playing mixologists in the bar. The beach was completely perfect and between the offerings of Burgh Island and the beach cafe, we …

it’s a very stylish spacious apartment, with very large beds and spacious bathrooms. however it would be nice to have a few little essentials on arrival, tea bags, coffee pods, biscuits, that is just a nice welcome when you’ve travelled a very long way. it didn’t effect us as we brought our own, but there was nothing to wash up with or wipe the counters with and no dishwasher tabs, only 2 tea towels. otherwise we ha…

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…
