    “Great property.”

    Ideal place to celebrate Christmas with a family Only issue was the heating - we couldn't get it right. It was either too hot or freezing cold. Not sure what we were doing wrong. Well equipped - except for the lack of sharp knives for cutting vegetables and meat. Host was superb, easy to contact, prompt in his responses. We left an item behind and the host was very helpful in returning it to us.

About the location

STRETE

Dartmouth 4.8 miles

Strete is a village looking over Start Bay just south of Dartmouth. The hills and countryside that encircle the village to the west converge on the memorable coastline forming one of the most visually striking images in the South Hams. There is a post office and general store in the village along with a lovely church plus the well renowned Laughing Monk restaurant. There is a small community area where you can picnic and walk your dog with its wildlife section and notable views of Start Bay. A few short miles in either direction brings you to the magical crescent shaped family beach at Blackpool Sands and the three mile stretch of Slapton Sands. Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon.
