The property was lovely and was everything that we needed. The bed was fantastic and the best sleep had in a long time.
Lovely walks around the gardens with lots to explore for kids ,parents and especially the dogs 🐕
We are looking forward to the next visit
Great location for a wander down into Kingsbridge for breakfast before heading out for the day. Close to the places we wanted to visit. Property extremely clean and modern. I hadn’t really realised the impact of the slanted roof so Chris banged his head a few times! We felt next time we would happily pay the bit extra to stay in one of your bigger properties so we have windows, an outlook and more ventilation. That is not criticising The Loft as we enjoyed our stay and it had everything in cupboards we needed. The fan was appreciated too thank you!
Gorgeous little place. Fabulous location for getting to Kingsbridge, Dartmouth, Slapton etc. immaculately clean & has everything you could need, fully integrated kitchen & modern bathroom. Bed is so comfy! Lovely lovely owners, go out of their way. Nice touches like a welcome basket with local produce. Lovely outdoor bit to sit in and BBQ. Would definitely stay again. Big thank you!
A contemporary open plan apartment with excellent shower and toilet room and sizeable bedroom. We used the kitchen facilities extensively, loved the induction hob (must get one!). Very clean and comfortable and excellent information pack with several great walks in the beautiful Devon countryside. Ten minute walk into Kingsbridge which was a nice buzzy little town on an estuary. We had our dog with us and there were plenty of good walks in the immediate vicinity. I over-enthusiastically made toast on arrival, setting off the smoke alarm, which meant we got to meet Julie, the host, who was very friendly and helpful. No problem in recommending it for a couple, with or without dog!
I know there is a photo online but we didn’t realise until we arrived that there were no windows at all with clear glass. We felt as though we were in a dungeon, admittedly a very clean and nicely presented one. The bedroom had a small frosted glass window, and the door had frosted glass. I like to be in touch with the outdoors, so it didn’t suit me.
Also it was extremely irritating to receive an email and two texts with instructions on the cleaning and tidying required on check out, and two remind
