ABOUT US
We are Katie and Rupert, a husband and wife team and we live in South Devon. Rupert is Brixham born and bred and Katie moved to Torquay in 1995, initially to study tourism but found it too hard to leave! We now have kids and we’re well and truly settled here.
Not only are we passionate about creating excellent holiday experiences but we also love this beautiful part of the UK where we live. Although we have travelled to some amazing places around the world, we still believe it is hard to find a more perfect place than South Devon with its stunning coastline, rugged moorlands and spectacular countryside. We look forward to welcoming you here.

I have limited mobility so can not walk for long durations. Everything that we wanted to me as a family with my 9 month old in a buggy was nearby! Found the harbour easily, aswell as the steam train and town centre. Managed to get parked right outside the property which was good for unloading. The property itself is great for small families. My 9 month old was able to crawl about happily between the front room and kitchen without me needing to worry. The TV can be a little slow, but bear with it does get there.
The whole property has an open and airy feel and I loved the stable door for fresh air and no escaping baby.
I would say the stairs could be a little hazardous with children who would be able to climb them unsteadily.
Both bedrooms are very calming and comfortable, I loved the master and have decided I need a new mattress as I haven't slept that well in a long time!
We managed to get our childs travelcot in the single bedroom but it could easily get into the master.
We greatly appreciated the extra touches like tea, coffee & biscuits. Even fresh milk in the fridge!
The garden was a cute little space however the seating area does look straight into the neighbours garden and they can look straight back at you too so we didn't sit out there much but definitely doesn't take from the overall stay and we will definitely use this airbnb again in the future.

Katie was quick to respond to our queries and the cottage is good value for money. The locals are really friendly and dogs welcome in most places.

The bungalow offers all the basics needed for a self-catering stay. With the lovely additional touch of a fresh pint of milk (and tea, coffee & biscuits!)
Was lovely to sit on the patio for morning coffee and afternoon scones with cream!
Recommend walking down the lane to Agatha Christie’s house, gardens and down to the river.
Easy drive to get into Paignton from the bungalow (recommend the steam train trip to Dartmouth!) And easy-ish walk down to Broadsands (the cafe breakfast overlooking the beach was great… even in the rain!).
Certainly recommend the bungalow! read less

Full of original features (ie the beams and granite pillar) and quirky additions like the piano in the lounge and guitars on the stairs, this beautiful property just felt like home. And the orangery is something else - the perfect location for a relaxing breakfast or evening meal. Thank you to Katie for the complimentary food basket on arrival filled with locally made bread, small jars of jam, tea & coffee and the milk, butter and cheese in the fridge.
The location is ideal for exploring further into Dartmoor National Park and is just a short drive from the coast. Buckfastleigh has everything you need. There is a choice of 3 pubs, 2 of which serve food, as well as several take aways and the trusty Co-Op.
We had a wonderful 2 weeks holiday staying at The Stables and definitley recommend this high quality property to anyone planning to visit Devon. read less

The facilities are amazing! Swimming pool, Games room, Crazy golf surrounded by beautiful wild flowers and so on. There are so many things to do indoor and outdoor. Or just relax sitting on the tea pot bench. Very good location.
Katie (the host) and a house keeper are friendly and very helpful.
We really had a fantastic holiday and will definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place. read less

Can sleep 4 adults but wouldn’t want to spend too long indoors with a full party as it might be a bit cosy for comfort if you prefer a bit of space. Jose was very quick to reply to messages and resolve any issues and helpful at providing some bits you inevitable forget!
Lots of different routes in to Torquay if you like a bit of variety and a beach within walking distance.
Would stay again. read less
