James

Really enjoyed our stay! The place was super comfy and had everything we needed. Only issue was the parking - only two spots for eight of us, which was a bit tight, but close to bus links helped. Cheers!

Emily Carter

We really enjoyed our stay! The decor was lovely and the views of the sea from the bedrooms were stunning. The welcome pack was a thoughtful touch. Blackpool Sands is a great beach, even if the shingle isn't ideal for little feet. The baby equipment like stair gates, high chairand cot was super handy. We'd definitely come back!

Emma

We loved the house! Perfect spot for exploring Dartmouthand it had everything we needed. Spacious enough for all seven of us and our two dogs. The secure garden was a real hit, especially with the hot tub. Definitely recommend!

Sarah

The house was fantastic, really well located and beautifully kept. Everything we needed was there, clearly thought through. We're definitely planning to return. Thanks so much!

Emma

Really enjoyed our stay, the bed was super comfy! Definitely coming back.

Emma

James

We loved this place! It's super modern and finished beautifully, with really thoughtful touches like cooking oil and dishwasher tablets included. It made our stay so hassle-free, allowing us to relax and enjoy without endless shopping trips. Definitely recommend for a chilled getaway!

Emma

This place is lovely! The house is stunning, the views are wonderfuland it's super well-equipped. Big thanks to the owners for a great stay!

Lucy Carter

We had a fantastic time staying here! The place was perfect for our family getaway, with loads of space in every bedroom and plenty of bathrooms. The views were simply stunningand we loved having the hot tub running all week. Coastal walks nearby were breathtakingand getting into Dartmouth was a breeze with taxis. Thanks for an awesome week!

Emma Carter

We stayed with friends who also have young kidsand surprisingly, it never felt crowded with two families sharing the place. The location was perfect for us because our little ones aren't fans of long walks, so being close to spots like Blackpool Sands and Dartmouth was a real bonus. The house itself was spotless and had everything we needed - really well looked after. We enjoyed using the outside seating and the hot tub, which was a hit! Overall, a great value stayand I'd definitely recommend it to others with kids. We'll be back!

Emma

Really enjoyed our stay here! The house is super modern and well-stocked. We loved exploring the local area, especially walking into Dartmouth. Definitely worth checking bus times for the return journey. Lovely village walks too!
