  This is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle.

  You feel as if you are tucked away in the heart of the countryside, yet it is only a short drive away from Dartmouth, and even closer to two supermarkets (Lidl and Sainsburys). The apartment was very warm, comfortable and spacious, with a lovely view from the little balcony. Perfect for one or two people. My dog absolutely loved having her own dedicated, giant, grassy garden to sniff and play in. It had a table and seating there, which I am sure would be lovely to eat at in the warmer weather. Sue was very welcoming and helpful and nothing was a problem. The welcome basket was very generous and I really enjoyed munching my way through the contents. Thank you. The bedroom was spacious with plenty of storage space for clothes and bags. And a very comfortable bed. You will see other visitors have commented about the access road, Yes, it is narrow, bumpy and twisty and you need to drive slowly and carefully, but my Renault Scenic coped fine, even fully loaded. So please don't let that put you off. I am very happy to recommend Lower Norton Farm Apartment to you.

  This apartment is spectacular.

  The views from the balcony are lovely and although you are so close to a large town it is incredibly peaceful. The apartment was immaculate and incredibly roomy. The welcome pack of milk, wine, scones, clotted cream, cereal, cake and tea coffee and sugar were delightful and were all used. The owners were easy to contact to deal with. This apartment was central to everything we wanted to do and I would highly recommend the Steam train and Paddle steamer trip from Dartmouth/Kingswear although I would recommend using the park and ride as parking is difficult in Dartmouth. A couple of small details, although it is only for two people a couple more plates and more cutlery would be helpful. The main issue is the track to the property. We kept bottoming our car (which isn't particularly low slung) on the uneven surface. If the track could be sorted we would definitely be booking again.

  We loved our stay at Lower Norton Apartment and would definitely come again and recommend it to others.

  Bed and settees are very comfortable. It's a lovely big, light, bright, airy space with beautiful views. We were able to cook adequately and appreciated the welcome pack of goodies. As others have said, the approach lane takes careful, slow driving, but our old CRV managed it ok and we didn't find it a problem. In any case, plenty of local lanes are narrow with hedgerows overhanging passing places, so Devon may not be the ideal place for anyone precious about their car! We did have to take our dogs out on their leads for their comfort breaks as there's no enclosed garden seperate from those staying in the property beneath. Maybe to help this, a nightlight could be placed in the lane outside? Ideally located to visit Dartmouth and other local places of interest. Good food shops and decent pubs for meals out are also easily reached from the apartment.

  This was a fantastic break!

  The Beach Hut is in a idilic location, perfect for those long coastal walks, easy access (20 yards away) to the sea and beach, when the tide is out. The Hut was exceptionally well presented and had everything that we could have wanted. The shower was strong and hot which is essential and all the fitting were of a high standard and quite luxurious. There were also independently operated radiators which gave us total control of the heating. This was not really needed but just putting them on for 30 minutes in the evening made all the difference to taking the chill and damp out of the air. The pub was clearly only 4 minutes walk away and with fore-planning eating out there was no problem and quite good pub grub, with marvellous views. What better way to watch the sun go down after a long day walking or in the sea? A brilliant place, property and value!

  Beautiful cottage in the most beautiful place.

  So welcoming and the attention to detail is a real wow!! This was our second visit to Beach Hut and the cream tea provided on arrival is such a lovely touch. I would just like to add, that when we visited last year bedding was not provided - and on the back of COVID that was understandable. However we are in different times now and with the world back to normal. We got this cottage at a discount and booked 2 weeks prior to arrival- and there were 3 weeks available in August at the time of booking. It’s a shame that such a high quality and beautiful cottage should not be getting the bookings it deserves as the standard is so high. Provide the bedding and this place sells out at top dollar. Owners are selling themselves short. I have not marked it down at all due to this as it is truly wonderful x
