Spacious accommodation set in a quiet location with plenty of indoor and outdoor areas for relaxing. Stunning views of the Dart valley and of course, the steam train! We will definitely be back next year!

Heron's Rest is a little gem. Very peaceful with comfortable furnishings. We could not fault the property. The steps to the property could be a difficult if you have walking problems, I'm nearly 80 and had no problems with the steps. Parking spaces are small, if you had 2 medium/large cars you may have problems....

If you go to this area you need to look at the map and decide which side of the river Dart you want to be. Our first evening we had to cross over to meet friends and had to pay nearly £16 return for a few minutes on the Higher Ferry. The ticket issuer failed to tell us we could buy a ten ticket card for £34 and save a massive 60%. The house is very well equipped but one bedroom has a patio and view and the other has little natural light. This could cause antagonism. There are two big steps up to kitchen. The sofas and beds are very good. Masses of lovely mugs, cups and cutlery and two teapots! Toaster works well. It is a tranquil haven in a very busy area. ...

We're sorry that the location wasn't quite right for meeting up with your friends but it's great to read that you enjoyed your stay overall and gave the property 100% rating! Both bedrooms are quite stylish in their own ways with the beautiful patio doors in the main room, and the other room featuring 3 glass portholes along with a standard window to let plenty of natural light to come through in its own unique way! We’d never expect this to cause any concern between guests though! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at this beautiful getaway and would happily welcome you back again. Joel, Classic Cottages...

Had a great week at Heron’s Rest. Ideal layout for 2 couples, plenty of space. Fully equipped. The steps down to the property were not problematic at all. Perfect parking for 2 cars. Wonderful scenery.
Mr Hayward May 2024
This is a really spacious property in a stunning location that is very well equipped and comfortable throughout. It gives easy access to a wide range of surrounding countryside and attractions. People booking need to be sure they are clear about and comfortable with the access steps, particularly for loading and unloading luggage. It was no problem for us. ...
