"We were a family of 8( 2 children) who stayed for 6 nights at Rocket house. We had a great in such lovely accommodation in a perfect little village." - Cheryl - July 2023

"A wonderful setting for such a spacious house. So much room for our group, although we all liked squashing on the decking outside as the view was beautiful and it felt so serene out there. The rooms were all spacious and there were plenty of bathrooms for us all. Amazing to be able to walk down to the river dart for a quick dip in the morning, although a little muddy underfoot once in it felt lovely. Would love to stay again. Although, the roads are a little narrow and tricky, a more noticeable sign to the property would be good as all the party drove past it and had to reverse up the hill." - Loopy - July 2023

"This is a very lovely property with great views of the Dart. Warm & spacious with lots of bathrooms." - Cathy - April 2023

"Spacious “living spaces” which was important given our group size and the variable weather. Bedrooms and bathrooms entirely adequate. Ample parking a particular benefit as was an especially well equipped kitchen although refrigerator space might perhaps have been more generous. One or two small “irritations” but nothing one isn’t going to encounter in most establishments in this quality/price range in many parts of the world; however and as already pointed out to the agent: living room chair legs need repair before someone is injured; outside front door light not working. We would like to compliment the local “handyman” on his prompt (once alerted by the agent) assistance. Overall a good “consumer experience” and we would certainly consider a return visit and recommending this property to others." - David - December 2022

"Beautiful house, spacious for our family of 10 people that came from Germany and the Czech Republic for our small wedding ceremony in Devon. The house had everything we needed, great views, it was spotless clean. We were all comfortable and we had a great family time, in a beautiful village with beautiful walks and boat trips. We would definitely stay again. I wish we have had more time. Thank you Dart Valley Cottage's." - Karina - October 2022

"Rocket House is perfect for a family, in our case family plus their partners. Location is just up from the key which meant we could carry our kayak and paddle board down to the water with ease. The pub is excellent, really friendly with great home made pizzas. Good location for getting to Dartmouth both by car or ferry, also visited Stoke Gabriel a few times both by water and car where there is the lovely River Shack cafe and restaurant. Overall difficult to beat this property." - Peagam - October 2021

"A beautiful, spacious house with stunning views of the Dart estuary. Large kitchen, dining room and lounge, plenty of room for everyone. Bedrooms very comfortable. We enjoyed the outdoor space for bbq's and gathering around the fire pit. Manageable parking for 4 cars. Despite restrictions, enjoyed walking down to the pub and local cafe. Ferry access to Dartmouth a joy and plenty to do on the water. Would not hesitate to recommend." - Pacole - July 2021

“Lovely big house. The house is very well equipped, modern, comfortable with lovely views and very well situated near the local shop and near pubs and ferry. Really lovely place the Dart Valley.
