The property is as described: very nicely laid out and decorated, and very comfortable (note, the train track in the photo is further away in reality). The view whether you are inside or out is lovely. We stayed in early December and the hills were attractive even with no leaves. Sadly, due to the pandemic there were no steam trains or direct boat trip to Dartmouth although the Kingswear to Dartmouth ferry had just re-started. Similarly a lot of visitor attractions and pubs were also shut but we found plenty to do. There are very useful walking booklets in the property as well as Netflix, which we weren't expecting. The night sky was lovely and we were lucky enough to see a satellite train. We would love to stay again in a different season when more would be open....

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. ...

Clean, spacious, well-equipped in a great location and with stunning views but with neighbours behind and above.

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!
