  The house was booked by my wife and I for a family get together to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.

  It was all that we expected and more. The house is located in stunning countryside roughly midway between Dartmouth and Totnes. It is extremely well equipped and very comfortable with the helpful owner Peter and his partner Amy and family living next door in ann adjacent property. Everything was provided for our stay. The slight mark down for Maintenance was because, shortly after our arrival, a tap on the bath in the en-suite of the master bedroom broke resulting in us not being able to stop the flow of cold water. Contact was made with Peter, who responded promptly and turned off the water supply to the bath. A plumber was called who later confirmed that a replacement would need to be ordered from the manufacturers. So for the remainder of our week we were unable to use the bath in the en-suite. By way of other feedback members of our family were woken on a few occasions around 07.30am by young children, staying in other accommodation on the Estate, playing tennis/football on the tennis court. We thought this somewhat inconsiderate of the parents of these children, disturbing other guests on the Estate so early, so would recommend that the owners include in their guidance notes, provided in each property, that the tennis court should not be used before 9.00am! However these are minor observations in what was a most memorable week in a wonderful property in a beautiful part of the country. Highly recommended and we hope to return in the not too distant future. Thank you to Peter, Amy and Emma we really enjoyed it.

  The Bothy is one of the loveliest cottages we have ever stayed at.

  From the moment we rounded the bend in the track and saw it framed by idyllic fields, and with the backdrop of a blue, sparkling sea, we knew it was going to be a special place, and it was. It is completely self-contained - we didn't see another human being (apart from a farmer in the distance driving a hay baler and the occasional person who came to feed the sheep) the entire time we were in the cottage, and all we could hear was the wind in the trees, the birds and the aforementioned sheep, who were our welcome companions for the week. The views, from around the cottage and through the lounge windows, are sublime, and you can walk down the hill and into Slapton Wood which, again, was deserted and felt like our own private woodland. We heard so many species of birds, and saw both a barn owl and a tawny owl, which was wonderful! The cottage itself was spotlessly clean, and contained everything we needed for the week. The beds were really comfortable and, combined with the complete darkness and silence at night, gave us a week of great sleep. The hot tub is a lovely addition, particularly when sitting in it at night under the stars. The location of The Bothy is also ideal - we had days out in Brixham, Dartmouth and Salcombe, as well as a drive over Dartmoor. We walked the half a mile to one of the pubs in the village, and Slapton Nature Reserve (well worth a visit) and Slapton Sands are only a mile away. If you're looking for a peaceful, relaxing and nature-filled holiday, we couldn't recommend The Bothy more!

  I cannot speak highly enough about White Horses, it is a beautiful spacious house which is extremely well equipped with just about everything you need furnished to a high standard. We stayed with our children and two grandchildren who are a year old, and the amount of space for them to crawl around downstairs was just perfect. Having a bathroom with each bedroom was a real treat and so useful at bath time. The location of the house is up a quiet no through road and it is so incredibly peaceful you can literally hear nothing at night except the odd owl! The views out to sea from upstairs and the garden are lovely and the garden planting is beautiful. You can walk to North Sands and South Sands within ten minutes and although the climb back up is a bit more effort it really isn’t far. Salcombe town centre would be a decent walk but from South Sands you can get the little ferry boat straight to Salcombe harbour, and enjoy the fun of the sea tractor to take you out to the ferry! Overall we all had a wonderful stay at White Horses, we loved Salcombe and the surrounding bays and beaches, and couldn’t fault the house in any way. We were very sad to lock the door on the final day and say goodbye, I feel sure we will be coming here again..” Hope this is ok, thank you for an excellent service from start to finish, and I look forward to booking with you again in the future.

  There are places you stay, and then there are places that stay with you. Northside is most certainly the latter. From the moment we turned down the winding Devon lanes—flanked by wild hedgerows and the occasional sheep—we knew we’d found something special. Nestled in a quiet field where the pace of life shifts with the sun, this stunning hideaway offered us a rare and welcome pause. A sanctuary. A true exhale. By day, we wandered the rolling hills straight from the hut, the South Hams opening before us like a well-worn novel. A cycle to Totnes for lunch brought its own adventure, while afternoons were spent listening to birds above from the sun-warmed patio, coffee in hand, time gently melting away. The nearby beaches—Bantham, Thurlestone, and our secret favourite, Wonnell—were food for the soul, as restorative as the sea breeze that greeted us there. As evening fell, the fire pit flickered to life and the stars arrived in quiet procession. We listened to the stillness. We slept deeply, cocooned in washed linen and soft textures. Every detail—from crafted furnishings to handmade ceramics—tells a story of care and creativity. This is more than a stay; it’s a deeply nourishing retreat. A place for reading, resting, stargazing and forgetting to check your phone. Northside isn’t just off the beaten path—it’s off the clock, off the grid, and utterly off the scale in charm.

  Nestled amidst whispering trees and flourishing gardens, Thornbrook welcomed us like an old friend — generous, grounding, and quietly luxurious. It was here, beneath Devon’s vast skies, that we gathered with family and friends for a stay stitched together with laughter, comfort, and golden moments. The house itself felt like a well-kept secret. Mornings began slowly, with coffee in hand and bare feet warmed by sunlit flagstones. Afternoons unfolded in the hot tub, steam curling into the crisp coastal air as the garden birds sang their soft chorus. Children played freely among the blossoms, while grown-ups lingered over long lunches and easy conversation. And then came the evenings — those unforgettable golden hours. We wandered down the hedgerow-lined path toward South Milton Sands, where the sky painted itself in hues of rose and tangerine. There, as the tide curled around Thurlestone Rock and the sun slipped behind the sea, it felt like the world had paused just for us. Thornbrook gave us space not only to come together, but to exhale. A house that celebrates both connection and quiet — where memories are gently made, and where we already long to return.
