Packing Tip: UK weather can turn quickly, so pack layers whatever the forecast. A waterproof and sturdy shoes mean the whole group can head out whatever August throws at you.

What to Expect Through the Year

  • ✓ May - September: Warmest, longest days - ideal for big group days out, gardens and BBQs
  • ✓ October - November: Crisp autumn colour, cosy evenings by the fire, quieter attractions
  • ✓ December - February: Perfect for a snug winter escape - great for Christmas and New Year gatherings
  • ✓ March - April: Spring blooms, longer evenings returning, wildlife becoming active
🌧️
Rainy Day Tip: A large cottage comes into its own on wet days - board games, a long lunch and a film with the whole group beat a cramped hotel any day. Check the tabs here for nearby pubs and attractions with indoor options.

What You Can See From the Cottage

The Milky Way is visible overhead, though light domes may be visible on the horizon towards larger towns.

The Milky Way is visible on clear, moonless nights.

Topaz Reviews

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
Really comfy place, well kitted outand just perfect!
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!
Emma Carter
We had a fantastic time at Topaz! The location was perfect for exploring Dartmouth and nearby villages. The house was really beautiful, with plenty of space, a lovely gardenand a well-equipped kitchen. We're already planning to come back again!
