Wonderful stay - hosts / property & location
Well what can I say, from the well equipped and very clean property, to the lovely hosts and the tasty cream teas on our arrival, the stay was just perfect. Lovely and quiet and so near to Dartmouth, Kingsbridge etc, by car. Our dog Ash was made very welcome and he enjoyed his early morning/evening walks up the quiet lane and the fields. We will definitely be back next year and thank you again Margaret, Ron and Sue for the really lovely stay.

Whats not to like
For us it was perfect. Tucked away and a field to give the dogs a run. Accommodation is very good. Massive bed and quality fittings all around. 10 mins from Dartmouth and not far from everything basically. Thanks

Quiet location not far from the sea
We found the Shearling Cottage to be perfectly presented and suitable for us, a mature aged couple. It was well appointed, extremely clean and it was a pleasure to have such good quality linen on the king size bed. The cottage is on a very quiet farm but is only 4 miles from Dartmouth so the attractions and facilities of Dartmouth are not far away.

Hidden down a track off the main road is this very comfortable holiday let. It is convienient for visiting the main sights in the area, Nothing fancy just well chosen equipment and furniture that actually works. You can tell that the owners know what they are doing. Speaking of whom they are a lovely family, friendly but not intrusive. This will be our go to place when in South Devon.

FANTASTIC
We were lucky enough to find this self contained Barn/Outbuilding on VRBO. The property itself is tucked away, so very private/peaceful although easy to find if you use Google maps. It served as a great central location in South Devon. We like many others took our dogs. There is a large field available to walk your dogs which is a real god send. Inside the property is spotlessly clean. If you don't have dogs don't be put off as it's tiles throughout the living area with underfloor heating so no lingering doggy smells. The owners are close by but give you the space to enjoy your stay, then even left a few necessitys/niceties to enjoy at the start of your stay. Overall a great break and one that we would definitely return to.

A very quiet and peaceful property not far from Dartmouth. No stairs and car parked at door was a great help. Nicely furnished but an extra chair in the bedroom would be a help and also a grab handle and toiletries basket in the shower. All in all, a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely holiday home
The Shearling is a perfect place for a quiet, peaceful holiday. It's close to Dartmouth (5 min drive) set in a small farm away from any roads so no noise. The hosts Margaret and her daughter Sue were very welcoming, on arrival we found a cream tea and fresh farm eggs waiting. The cottage is a perfect size and everything in it is absolutely first class and the bed one of the most comfortable I've slept in. The area has lots to do with fantastic beaches and places of interest nearby. Without doubt a place we will visit again.

Fantastic property! Great location with so much to do within a short distance. We are non dog owners and were really impressed with how absolutely spotlessly clean it was. The bed is wonderfully comfortable and the whole property is beautifully done to a very high standard. Margaret & Ron were very friendly whilst respecting your privacy. We have stayed in many similar accommodations and this is one of the very best.
