Just one of our 5 star reviews from satisfied guests


“We would like to thank you for giving us the opportunity to stay in Western Waters for a week. It suited all six of us perfectly, the two young boys loved the heated indoor pool (as did the adults!) and we all enjoyed the space and peace of the lovely rambling garden.

The house is well appointed and attractive with plenty of space - there is a good, well equipped kitchen and laundry area, as well as many bedrooms and bathrooms conveniently
arranged for a large age range. An excellent TV room with DVD machine - some rather good DVD's too - helped on wet evenings. So facilities are great for all weathers, important in the UK. The house was also very clean and welcoming on our arrival.

The owner is informative and helpful, there are plenty of places to go locally - the two small boys loved the Woodlands Family Theme Park which is about 10 minutes away.

So a very enjoyable week and we would recommend Western Waters.”

A beautiful tranquil holiday house
We were a family group of grandparents, children, grandchildren and the house was perfect for us all. We especially liked that one young family could sleep in one area of the house and the other family in a slightly different area which avoided everyone being up once the youngest was awake. The bedrooms were all comfortable and lots of bathrooms which we love as a family. The kitchen/conservatory area is fabulous and far bigger than the pictures lead you to believe. This was the hub of our stay with meals as well as playing games. We did use the lounge which was very comfortable but mainly for the adults in the evening. As for the extras, brilliant. The pool is a wonderful luxury and the children thoroughly enjoyed their time playing. The full sized table tennis table was used by all and there were many competetive games taking place. We loved the huge garden and had fun cooking marshmallows in the fire pit as well as just playing outside. Although the house is a rural setting it is only 10 minutes from Dartmouth. We had trips to a range of beaches so plenty to occupy your time.

Fantastic holiday at this lovely house! The house was spacious, well equipped and very clean. Lots of outside space for exploring and playing, with an enclosed area for eating outside. The pool was lovely and a godsend as the weather was a bit unsettled during our stay. Host was easily contactable if necessary and responded very quickly. Would highly recommend.

Great house with plenty of room for the 10 of us with beautiful gardens. Clean and well equipped kitchen. Owners helpful and answered any queries promptly, even before we booked. Indoor pool very useful in English changeable weather. Close to sea and stony beaches, Dartmouth had Park and Ride, about 5 minutes away and open top busses (on good days) every 10 minutes.

Lovely property with ample space for 10 people with a large lounge, dining room, sun room and large room upstairs with table tennis. Plenty of space to all hang out together or have our own space. The grounds were beautiful with lots of space to walk around. The pool was a great hit with the kids. Close to local town and supermarkets.

Fantastic break
The area was very pretty and not too far away from things to do for all the ages. The property was well equipped thoughout, clean & spacious. The pool was amazing & when all 10 of us was in didn't feel full. The garden was well looked after, with lots of different areas to explore. The owners were very helpful & always quick to reply to any questions. There is a beautiful garden nearby, Rabbit Farm, well worth a visit. Whilst Blackpool Sands beach is only 2 miles away the walk is quite a hike with very steep hills to navigate. The local pub. The Sportmans Arms is about a 20-25 min walk away, very cozy. Despite being quite remote the Wi-Fi was reasonable. Good idea to take your t.v app logins with you. Our party ranged from 65yrs - 3yrs very one had a lovely time.

The house was amazing and the garden too. Wonderful views and an awesome location. We enjoyed sitting in the barbeque area for meals. The house is large and we had plenty of space to spread out. The swimming pool was brilliant. Large enough for a decent swim and pool volley ball.

Long-awaited return visit!
We recently got back from our second visit to Western Waters and it was every bit as enjoyable as our first! The setting within the residence is warm and welcoming - perfect for families, particularly large ones, with the abundance of space available. The open kitchen area and sun room especially brings everyone together with refreshing natural light, even in the winter. The indoor swimming pool and table tennis are must-haves; they provided us with hours of entertainment and were utilised heavily due to the poor weather on our more recent trip. The dwelling is situated on beautiful grounds allowing for plenty of exploring and it is a short drive to Dartmouth and within easy reach of Totnes for a day-trip. This time, we did not manage to have a BBQ and enjoy s’mores but next time…

Wonderful family week
Western Waters was an excellent property for our 3 generation family holiday. The rooms and layout appeared even better than portrayed in the photos, we never felt short of space. The kitchen is well equipped with a large range, 3 fridges and freezer, with the added bonus of a large utility. We would suggest a few extra plastic chopping boards as the wooden ones were very large and heavy for vege chopping. Many hours were enjoyed by all in the pool which is a good size and heated to a good temperature. The grounds are extensive and interesting, with a great BBQ terrace and dining area where we spent most evenings. Although well lit, the other outside lights need attention as only one appeared to work. There is plenty of parking albeit somewhat challenging to manoeuvre cars around. Bugford is such a great location and we were fortunate to have a couple of heat wave days to enjoy the beach. The Tour of Britain Bike race passed through Dartmouth during our stay - so enjoyed by the 6 cyclists in the party. Our e bikes were much appreciated with the hilly terrain. Highly recommend this property - we would certainly book again.

Brilliant Accomodation. Great location. Perfect amenities.
Everything was good about this property. If there is anything that could be bettered, it is the internet speed. It was a brilliant holiday. Can’t say anything negative about the property or any of the other the facilities. I guess internet speed could be tricky in a rural location, so totally acceptable.

Indoor Swimming pool with accommodation
The Pool was the great attraction. The house was rather like 2 houses joined together with a multi level, multi tripping central joining area. (We were warned, but it still caught us out). The kitchen was well equipped with lots of fridge/freezer space. The pool itself was very good and a fair size and this was the saving grace for our less sunny week. The surrounds were not so well cleaned and it was a pity not to be able to open their patio doors. The nearby shower was very useful. One end of the house appeared to have nice new carpets. The other end had older carpets with a slight musty smell. The large lounge had a good sized TV. We were our entire family - 3 generations with us grandparents, our 2 children and their spouses and 4 grandchildren ages 1-5. The beds would have been better for us with another double split as 2 singles. The suggestion that we might have to pay extra to the cleaner for the use of a cot/high chair was rather surprising when you are paying £3000 for one week. The house is fronted by the gravel drive which requires careful manoeuvring, and then there is the large multilevel garden and BBQ area removed from the house. We prefer to be able to exit a house directly onto a garden. All in all the pool was the great plus point and the house worked well for us. The owner responded quickly and pleasantly to us.
