Highlight the closeness to the wonderful London Inn and the village green with bowls to watch.. Lovely village with lots of little pubs and local shops. Superb views and very dog friendly with good walks on and off the beach.

Parking was a nightmare.. The garage offered was very small and had no light. You had to stand on a chair to turn bathroom lights on and off also fans. Beds had cheap mattresses. Cutlery was very cheap. Knifes for cooking hopeless. No dishes with lids for using in the oven. Only one fron door key we spoke to owner who said he would look into but did not. Light over cooker did not work. Key missing to one of the balconies. Would not stay there again.

The Dolphins is the best holiday cottage I've ever stayed in, immaculately clean and comfortable with the most outstanding views.. So many wows it exceeded our expectations, perfectly situated for breath taking walks, great local pubs, cafes and local shops. Five star accommodation and delightful owners who ensure you have everything you could possibly need. Would have no hesitation to recommend and will definitely return, the village itself is super dog friendly and welcoming. Throughly relaxing luxiourious holiday.

Fantastic location.. Parking not on site, but no real hardship to park a short distance away. The village is great, award wining butchers, bakers and pubs. Brilliant little ferry to Teignmouth, only 60p for a child! Plenty of places to walk and socialise with a dog. Beaches are great, some good spots for pier jumping, crabing and kyacking. Lots of people collecting mussels at low tide. The cottage was modern, clean and cosy..... the view is outstanding. Thank you.

Superb accommodation furnished to a high standard with great facilities - dishwasher / washing machine / fridge freezer / WiFi / SKY.. Local caretaker should you need any help (we didn't). The balcony overhangs the sea / river at high tide and the main room windows provide excellent views day and night. 2 living rooms allows space for kids who want to watch their own TV. Will definitely be returning.

Third visit, speaks for itself! we all had a lovely time again, even had good weather! we enjoy the house, its outstanding views, the high quality of everything, the wonderfull location, not just the water views and the village, but also the coffee and eating places, especially the London Inn on the doorstep, great food and atmosphere. The automatic lighting is a bit annoying, and seems wasteful, and we never really quite got the hang of it, again - not a big deal, just thought would mention it! will probably be back next year...... many thanks Christine

The riverside views and village we were prepared for. But the owners have really pushed the boat out with the high standard of accommodation. 5-star hotel fixtures and fittings and everything supplied you could possibly need and more.

This is one of those places that take your breath away, the view is to die for property overlooks the river and beach, you could watch the view all day and never grow tired.House is to a very high standard and we are determined to stay again, only word seems to have got out and it is booked up a lot of the time

The info about this apartment does not do it justice as all the photos are a bit dark. It is a light and airy superbly equipped house. The famous 5 bit was picking mussels from the beach to cook, rock pooling and tunnels to the beach. It is a brilliant base to access other parts of Devon being on the main routes but also good bus, ferry and train links. The village has everything you need - and more. We had some meals at the house, luckily I took my slow cooker because there is a shortage of large pans but it didn't deter us. We ate locally and had good food too - not too pricey. My older parents (blue badge) did find it a bit of a chore not being able to park by the property but the rest of us did not mind the walk (10 mins) up to the Ness car park. It only cost £3:40 to park for 24 hours. It was easy to unload and reload the car outside the house too. The roads are very tight but it all adds to the quaint feel of the village. A real bonus for us was the WiFi access for GCSE revision. There were also some resident games and DVD's but we were out and about so much that we didn't get time to use them. Perfect family break. Only downside is Friday in/out day but we would like to go again - school holidays permitting.
