House holiday rentals in Kingsbridge Estuary

Mewstone is an outstanding property and Maria is a top notch host. The property description tells it all accurately except it understates the beautiful views across Dartmouth from the upper windows and balcony (which is a real sun trap). Maria told us the property was being cleaned early and she kindly offered us access from 12 noon which was handy. Oh and it was very clean. All the furniture, fittings, appliances, beds etc are of high quality. We had been told in advance that the shared pool heater had broken down which was a shame and Maria was very apologetic and keen to make amends. She is a very friendly and responsive host who genuinely wants her guests to enjoy their time at Mewstone. 2 minutes walk to the market square and shops and restaurants, another couple to the riverside. With the bonus of two parking spaces given the central location. As a couple with three young adults we loved Mewstone and are already talking about returning.

We had a phenomenal time! The whole house was spotless and the kitchen was so well equipped. We cooked all meals at home and had lovely dinners outside. The garden is absolutely stunning and a dip in the pond was a great thing to do every morning. Thank you so much Ian, we hope to come back again!

Absolutely stunning place. Louise was the perfect host answering every question I asked. The pool was a great hit with us adults and of course the children. The farm tour was lovely and Louise was very understanding when my little boy had a nose bleed whilst feeding the calves. I would highly recommend a stay at The Grange!

spotless with everything provided that you could possibly need. superb pool and outside spaces. Very narrow lanes to get to the accomodation with nothing very local , a car is a must !! Apart from locality would highly recommend.

Great home with outstanding facilities and location. Pool is a highlight, and hot tub right next to it which is great for when the kids get chilly! Fantastic playroom for them too. Boiling water tap for grown ups teas and coffee with good indoor and outdoor seating areas. Fun for all the family!

A great house for a family birthday celebration . The open plan living area with huge windows was perfect . Quite a hill to walk up from town but that is true of most houses in Salcombe!! We had a wonderful few days there over New Year

One of our best airbnb experiences to date. Warm and welcoming hosts who made us feel like nothing was too much trouble. The house was spotless and felt brand new, so many thoughtful details were included! Only one warning….you might fall in love with their beautiful dog Alfie!!!

We had a wonderful stay at the Farmhouse and Sophia was a very kind and responsive host (eg we asked if they had a blue tooth speaker we could borrow and it was brought straight round - Thankyou!). We enjoyed the large sociable kitchen space with the comforting Aga to come home to. The garden space was very peaceful and we had great fun in the games room playing table tennis, table football and pool on our first night. We also made use of the swimming pool and playing boules in the garden. The house is large and comfortable for groups and families and has a Manor House feel to it which we loved. Thankyou for a wonderful stay!

We had an excellent week spent at Bowden Wood, it had everything we needed and we left feeling very relaxed. Great location, close to Dartmouth and Blackpool sands. A beautiful home with everything you could need, we would love to visit again in the future.

We loved our stay in the tiny cottage, the interior was beautiful and the shower was fab. Lovely walks along the SW Coast Path on the doorstep & close to East Portlemouth for getting the boat over to Salcombe. The local cafe & pub both do great food. Gara Rock Hotel is also worth a short drive to for a drink with a view. Sarah and Mark were so welcoming and it was lovely chatting to them; really great hosts and we’d love to return.

A really comfortable house. Really well equipped kitchen Luxury bedding and towels Excellent tech - Wi-fi, Bluetooth speaker and tv Relaxing view over the harbour Fantastic cafes and restaurants just down the hill. Gorgeous beach a 3 minute drive or 25 minute walk and a tranquil, secluded beach across the river by an every 10 minute ferry. Easy paddle board and kayak launching in the harbour - a 10 minute walk. Suits active families or quieter groups.

Lovely quiet getaway. Would recommend!

The lodge was well-situated, with views westward over the countryside and sea. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the sun set! The kitchen/living space was well-furnished and very comfortable; the sofa and recliner chair were excellent. The kitchen was well-equipped and pleasant to work in; easy access to oven, microwave and dishwasher - though we didn't actually use it, apart from emptying it, (from previous occupants' usage?!) The double-bed was very comfortable and the bathroom/shower excellent. An excellent stay - made perfect by four days of beautiful warm mid-May weather, which allowed us to walk from the door to the coast path, west (first day) to Salcombe (with a visit to the beautiful NT Overbecks garden) and east (second day) to Hope bay (with some good eateries). There appeared to be no policy of separating refuse into compostable and recyclable waste - but that may be more to do with the site itself - but perhaps worth raising with the management?

We had the most wonderful long weekend celebrating a 40th birthday in this property. Stunning location and very easy to access/find. Excellent property with clean and beautifully furnished rooms. Fully equipped kitchen and lots of comfortable living and dining space. Highly recommend and would return in a heart beat.

Excellent accommodation for a family get together. Two barns are great to provide a little private space when needed. The welcome hamper was real treat.

The house was very spacious , wonderful bedrooms and lovely bathrooms and great ensuites Very well appointed with everything you could need for a holiday Nice to have two lounges , a great bonus Our favourite part was the fabulous patio , very large with lots of lovely seating and incredible views

We have stayed in many Airbnb but this is by far the best property we have ever come accross, beautiful views, perfect location, property has every item you could ever need or more. As a multigenerational family holidaying, it was perfect for all our party which ranged in ages from 16 to 82. Absolutely perfect a dream location... Absolutely blessed to have been able to spend quality time with our loved ones in such a stunning location.

Lovely peaceful stay lots to see and do on foot and in the car, we were very spoilt with the weather. Hope to be back soon

Such a lovely part of the world - we had a great location, and highly recommend the yoga.

Chantry Barn was an amazing find and it will leave a lasting feel good impression on me, so much so I really hope we will be able to come back. The accommodation is beautiful,I thought it was better than the pictures! It was spotlessly clean. Both Nick & Jo are super hosts, we were made to feel very welcome. We had a slight problem with the t v, which was sorted out. Communication is excellent. My daughter got to feed a lamb and we borrowed a bucket and spade from there 'shop'. where you have a selection of things to borrow. I honesty couldn't recommend Chantry Barn highly enough!

Just returned from the most wonderful break to this gorgeous location absolutely stunning Loved the beautiful location so peaceful and quiet, superb walking, superb beach and incredible sea view from the property which was immaculate absolutely pristine. Cannot recommend this property enough we all had a wonderful time and will definitely return. A truly remarkable place and absolutely perfect 😍 for our family.

A great stay -lovely quiet peaceful location- hidden away along country lane - well equipped - 2nd small snug lounge area with sofa 2nd tv books & jigsaws next to bedroom on top floor a useful addition - took teenage kids away from mobiles & laptops to concentrate on jigsaws - So all in all a good holiday after many years in this area of country !!

Immaculate place with everything you need for a short or long stay, with a very nice welcome pack of food. Great place to watch the Naval boats and beautiful walks on the doorstop. Pace yourself with the steps!!.

We always enjoy our visits to Salcombe and have been coming to Magdala for many years. It is in a beautiful position and provides the accommodation that we need.
