The pictures do not do the property justice. The place is stunning, the views, location and the whole place is amazing. We did so many mice things. Went to the model village, across to dartmouth on the car ferry, did the combined steam train from Paignton then boat tour around the river dart, went to greenway which was Agatha Christies house which you can walk to from the property which has the most amazing views....

Herron's Rest is a delight with views to lift anyone's spirit. During our stay the Steam railway added to the experience with several trains each day to punctuate the otherwise serene environment. The cottage has all you could ask for in a self catering property and is the best we have ever experienced. Apart from the very narrow Devon roads all around there is nothing not to like about this property and the surrounding areas. ...

I think this was the 14th time we've stayed here. It's our go-to place that is so familiar it feels like our own holiday home - without the upkeep! So very beautiful. So peaceful. So comfortable, well-equipped and airy. That view! Even the air feels softer down there. The pandemic has been a full-on time for me as I've worked in community dementia care all the way through. Being able to escape to this wonderful place has been the thing that helped me keep going. Precious time out with my lovely husband. I hesitate to urge you to go, as I'd much rather keep Heron's Rest a secret - but in the spirit of sharing and caring, book yourself a week. You'll be hooked. ...

Heron’s Rest is difficult to fault, well furnished and equipped and in a very beautiful location. We had originally booked for last year but were unable to go because of COVID restrictions and it was well worth the wait, this is one of the best rental properties that we have stayed in. We were incredibly lucky with the weather for the whole of our week’s stay and relaxing on the outside space after a day out was a wonderful way to wind down. Visitors should note that there is a very good park and ride service in Dartmouth which makes spending the day there less stressful as there is no long stay parking in the town. There are two very good National Trust properties nearby, Greenway (on the doorstep) and Coleton Fishacre ( five miles away), these are not to be missed. We have returned home feeling totally relaxed....
