The Osborne Apartments - Apt 38 - 3 Bedrooms
We stayed in apartment 38 for a week in July 2021. It exceeded my expectations and the pictures do not do it justice (the pictures make it look a bit dated but it really isn’t). It is a lovely 3 bed apartment - very clean throughout. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the first floor and the stairs lead up to the living area and kitchen! The kitchen comes with a fridge, dishwasher, cooker and oven. You also get all your basic cooking utensils and dishes alongside cleaning products including dishwasher tablets. One thing I would suggest is taking some tupperware to store your food in or if you want to make a picnic. The description also stated they provided cooking oil - but there wasn’t any - so it’s worth taking some if you want to make a full english in the morning. We ordered a Tesco online shop which was delivered straight to the apartment without any problems. Note, the pools (indoor and outdoor) are not heated so can be quite cold. The indoor pool area is a bit tired looking with the paint peeling off the floor - but the kids still had a fab time. The gym is also well equipped with weight and cardio machines…but again some of the padding on the machines are a bit worn. Overall we had a fab time, the views are amazing. Meadfoot beach is literally on the doorstep and the town is only a 15min walk away. Paignton beach (10min drive) is great for the kids if you want a bit more hustle and bustle i.e. Pier with arcades and fairground. Also recommend The Inn on the Green for lovely pub grub - they are directly opposite the Paignton pier and the staff were fab too.

Luxury beachfront apartment with an amazing view
Stunning accommodation and location. The hosts went above and beyond to provide a wonderful stay. We highly recommend visiting!!!

Seascape - Central Dartmouth with views & parking
We really enjoyed our short break staying in Seascape. The shops were right on our doorstep or we could do a quieter walk to the castle or Kingswear. The view from the lounge window was magnificent with plenty to see. The apartment was very comfortable and well equiped. Thankyou for having us - we had a lovely time.

“On The Beach” has the best views in Shaldon
The apartment was immaculate. Very well thought out and decorated in relaxing tones throughout. It had everything I needed. The views from every window were amazing especially the sunrise . Spectacular!

Light and spacious ground floor apartment.
Dawn & Richard were fantastic hosts. The accommodation was fantastic and spotless. Bed was very comfortable with great blinds to block out the light and the bathroom was lovely and clean. Couldn’t fault anything would definitely return.

Apartment 4 - Large studio rear view
This was a first class stay. The studio was spotless, comfy and well-equipped. There was a lovely extra touch of home made chocolates on arrival. The host was very helpful, friendly and unobtrusive. Recommend!

Stunning views across Brixham harbour
We love Brixham and have been visiting for many years. We have stayed in many rentals but this was by far our favourite. The apartment was spotless with super comfy beds - but the icing on the cake was that view! Thank you so much Sara & Andrew, will be booking again for sure.

Sea View | Hot Tub | Beach Walk
Had an absolutely amazing stay and Susan was informative and made the whole experience as relaxing as possible. Amazing views at the location and the hot tub made it even better. Cannot fault a single thing with this location and we will definitely be booking again! Would definitely recommend to others.

Luxury 4 Bedroom Pet Friendly Beach House Paignton
The house was beautiful, clean and had everything we needed with plenty of parking for all 3 of our cars. Goodrington was a lovely sun trap out of the wind, we loved Cantina! The beds were so comfy and every room so light & spacious.

Luxury beachside house, stunning views, Hallsands
Wonderful location and comfortable, well designed home. A little village out on its own with so much character and some great walks which are medium hard but good distances either way - to the left in the next village the Cricket Inn is delicious food and friendly staff - to the right a lighthouse. The views and beach really make this place… as well as being a close drive to Salcombe and Dartmouth. The house being is well stocked, stylish and comfortable so makes for easy living. We were a family of 7 and a dog and would highly recommend it. We did a Sainsbury’s food delivery to the house twice to make getting groceries easy and that worked perfectly too.

Stunning dog friendly guest house.
Really lovely stay, it felt private and not at all over looked but close to the main house. Lovely little village and we had great days out! House feels like home, comfortable, everything you need and spotlessly clean.

Wisteria Cottage Topsham
Melanie is a really friendly and helpful host, Topsham is a gem and Melanie’s cottage is very well equipped, plus she kindly made the children’s room into two singles, we were able on this occasion to check in early and out a little later which was nice. Lovely stay all round. South west pizza is highly recommended!! Thank you Mel! X

The Dragon's Nest, beautiful, harbour side house.
The Dragon’s Nest is a great house in a central location in Brixham. Plenty of local amenities and recommendations from the host. The house is set over several floors so was ideal for us as a 3 generation family staying. Plenty of cutlery and crockery for children and a high chair available. Well stocked kitchen including salt/pepper/oil. Lynn was really quick to reply to any message I sent her, and kindly arranged early check in and late check out for us. She also kindly allowed us a shorter stay than they would otherwise have agreed to over the Easter holiday period. We had a fantastic stay. Thank you.

Townhouse | Heart of Old Topsham | River Views
A beautiful, characterful and charming cottage in the centre of Topsham. Nice and close to Dartmoor, Exeter and wonderful beaches, plenty to do. Recommend eating at the Globe and the Galley great food.

Umbrella Pines - Clifftop Views
Amazing stay with our family of 6, waking up every day with a sea view is the dream! Great hosts, thanks for making everything so smooth and easy for us.

Fantastic waterfront family home
Dream home! Very spacious and clean throughout. The house has a warm atmosphere, with the old features in the property well preserved, and blended with the new. The hosts were also very helpful. We loved every minute of our stay here. Thank you!

Perfect Seaside Getaway - Stunning Harbour Views
This property was exceptional! It was pristine, beautiful and so well equipped it was simply a home from home! The welcome hamper was a gorgeous gesture, the information provided by Sarah and Mike, pre check in, during our stay and post our departure was second to none! We have been coming to Torquay every year for 10 years plus and have stayed in many accommodations but this was by far the best we have ever experienced! I cannot recommend highly enough! Nothing negative to say whatsoever! Thank you and we will definitely be back xx

Super two bedroom apartment on Exmouth quay
We had a great short break away. The apartment was clean, comfortable and exactly as described. It is in a great location and would very much recommend others to visit this gem of a place.

Superbly located apartment. Brixham Harbour area
We stayed at Ashley's beautiful Captain's Rest for the second time. The location is absolutely perfect with everything within walking distance, close to amenties, restaurants, parking and plenty of places to explore. The property really is a home from home with lots of added extras that help to make your stay a delight. Captain's Rest is beautifully decorated, clean and tidy and perfect for all the family. I stayed with my family (including two children, aged 12 and 4) and we had more than enough space to relax between adventures around Brixham. Thank you so much for having us a second time, we will be back!

Exmouth Seaside Escape, just paces from seafront!
Thankyou for an amazing stay at your beautiful flat, it is in such an incredible location and Exmouth is a really pretty place to visit. The space was beauitfully clean, comfortable and had everything we needed - the added touch of scones jam and cream was a lovely bonus. We will return !

Stay Salty | Perfect Central Location | 1000 SqFt!
Matthew was a fantastic host, extremely prompt with his reply clear instructions and plenty of recommendations. the apartment was better than the pictures. beautifully decorated, with so much space. Location is in the heart of the town so perfect for a seaseaside break in a Teignmouth. We will definitely be booking again!

Ground Floor Flat close to the beach with parking
We have stayed in Karen’s flat before. It is conveniently situated just around the corner from Preston Sands so is a quieter location but an easy, level walk to the sea. The private parking is a bonus at busy times and is reasonably spacious and easy to access. The flat was super clean and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Shops and takeaways all within easy walking distance too. Certainly hope to stay again and this is now the first place we check for availability when visiting our friends in the area.

Blue Skies Apartment - Harbour Views
This apartment is beautiful, gorgeous decor, spotlessly clean, very cozy with the most incredible views. I highly recommend this apartment, a home from home with the best hosts!

Stunning views across the bay.
Lovely place, no issues. The only thing is the outdoor heated swimming pool is not open to apartment guests - we got confused as it was shown in the photos (only indoor pool and the tennis court for a small fee). The apartment and surrounding area was amazing- 5 stars all the way.
