What an amazing place. So beautiful, so quiet (except the birdsong naturally) and just a bit other-worldly. We adore this house so much this was our 12th visit and we shall keep coming. We aim to move to Dartmouth very shortly but decided, as we sat on the terrace drinking some very fine wine (Dartmouth Wine Company) that we can't give it up. Why not have a short break across the river? Why not indeed! Book it. Revel in it. Feed the squirrels. ...

We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. This really is a wonderful location and the views are breathtaking - did you watch the steam train across in the valley below? There are a couple of other detached neighbours within this lovely little spot, but rest assured that they enjoy the peace and quiet as much as guests at Heron's Rest, ensuring a very tranquil retreat!

We've had yet another wonderful holiday in this very special home. One look at that incredible view, the first sight of the steam train coming around the bend, the buzzards circling over head, that lovely soft Devon air and above all the peace and quiet is all you need to start relaxing into your holiday. Comfortable, well equipped and close to so many extraordinary places and walks. We'll be back (again) but keep quiet about Heron's Rest won't you. We need to keep this beauty to ourselves. ...
