Kid-friendly vacation rentals in River Dart

We stayed for 2 nights at Sarah's cottage and we were delighted with the facilities and location. It was around the corner from the High Street and was ideally positioned for shopping, restaurants and even the Steam Train. We would love to come back next time we visit! Thank you, Sarah

What a beautiful place to stay, immaculately clean with all amenities provided..... David has thought of everything you might need! We sat with the patio window open last evening watching the sun go down over Dartmoor, a glass of fizz to finish off the day.....cheers!

We had an amazing time over the bank holiday weekend! The barn was self check-in, but Fran went above and beyond to ensure everything was clearly communicated and stress-free. We arrived a bit earlier than expected, and Fran kindly allowed us to check in early, such a thoughtful gesture that made a big difference to our journey. The barn itself is stunning, with breathtaking views and plenty of outdoor space to explore. It was the perfect countryside escape. We were travelling with a 2-year-old, so the thoughtful touches like books, toys, and a stair gate were hugely appreciated. The only minor challenge was a few small, unexpected steps throughout the barn- absolutely fine for older kids and adults, but a bit tricky for our toddler to navigate. That being said, we couldn’t recommend this place more, it’s a beautiful, peaceful spot with everything you could need for a relaxing getaway.

Splendour House was just what we expected for an extended family holiday in Paignton. All facilities were available which was good as the weather was not what we’d hoped for. Tom is a great host and would recommend Splendour House to large families for its location and enclosed back garden. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Tom & Co.

Just had one of the most brilliant stays at "Little Spindles". A fantastic eco-built property situated down a quite lane with everything needed for a peaceful, relaxing time away. Inside, the property is just amazing; so clean and tidy, with top quality fixture and fittings and tastefully decorated. The garden area is mainly laid to lawn and is large and private, thanks to surrounding trees and shrubs. There's a little stream at the bottom of the garden and we were fortunate enough to see a kingfisher during our stay! It's close to the centre of Ashburton (lovely little place!) and ideally positioned for a wide variety of sightseeing and walking trips. Poppy is a great host and is always on hand to offer help when needed. We look forward to a return visit!

A beautiful apartment with genuinely stunning views from the balcony and living room. The amenities are excellent, and the hosts fab!

A much-appreciated return visit. Spacious, well appointed, clutter-free accommodation on one level. Very peaceful, leafy surroundings. Friendly, helpful hosts and our dog was happy too!

We absolutely loved our stay at Boundary cottage! It’s beautifully designed with gorgeous high quality interiors. It was just right for us - two adults and two children. Everything was provided for a child friendly stay (high chair, stair gate, travel cot, kids tableware). The cottage is compact but has made the most of all space for useful storage, it had everything we needed. Highlights for us were the beautiful bed linen, the gorgeous bathroom with uninterrupted views into the fields with the cows and the lovely walk straight out of the front door down the farm track. Our kids adored the cows and the little play area was a welcome occasional distraction!

Great local place in the Main Street of Totnes. Everything you can think of is in the house and really felt like home for the few night we were there. Great kitchen and very cosy!!

Really lovely stay in a great place so close to the beach ( 2 mins walk). The apartment was very clean and had all we needed for a short stay. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was good. Jaquine provides a fridge of provisions, including a bottle of Prosecco, which was a lovely addition and very welcome. Communication from Jaquine was excellent. The Start Bay Inn is popular and very good especially the fish dishes and Stokeley Farm shop and cafe is also within walking distance.

We loved the Artists Mews. It was very stylish, while still comfortable (especially the bed!). Very clean and immaculately decorated. It is in great location to explore Totnes and the surrounding countryside. We would highly recommend this apartment!

The ideal spot if you want to explore Kingswear and Dartmouth. Beautiful riverside location with plenty of birdlife to spot on the estuary. The living room/conservatory is the perfect place to unwind while admiring the views. Clean kitchen and bathroom with everything you could need for a few days' stay. Ideally located for the ferry to Dartmouth and a couple of nice pubs for food in the evening are only a few minutes walk from the front door. Parking is just across the road and free during your stay. There are a few steep steps up to the house, so don't take too much luggage! Mark is a brilliant and responsive host.

Kate's place is better than the pictures show. Very spacious, clean, peaceful. Beautifully decorated. We loved the area where the flat is located in. Kate and Kieran are great hosts. No amount of questions are too many. The kitchen is well stocked. The bed is very comfortable as well as pillows and duvets. The welcome package is such a lovely touch. We will be recommending the place and would love to come back one day.

We had a lovely stay, the flat was clean and comfortable with all the amenities that we could require during our short stay. Amy was a lovely host, communicating quickly via Airbnb and left a good selection of info about the flat and surrounding area. There was adequate parking for the car and we were able to park up for a couple of days and enjoy what Totness had to offer. The town centre was a walkable distance, though up hill on the return. We found good cafes and take-aways for eating and lovely shops for browsing in. We enjoyed trips to both the Castle and the Steam Railway. We hope to stay again in the future.

Rockpool is a wonderful place to stay! Kay is a friendly, helpful and generous host. We appreciated the lovely treats left in the fridge for us. The location is peaceful and quiet and the accommodation is comfortable, very clean and well equipped.

Beautiful property, modern and looks exactly as the pictures. Location was perfect for my stay, walkable into both Paignton and Torquay. Becky is really friendly and was super helpful and responsive to messages. Highly recommend

Just had 4 nights stay in this beautiful apartment with amazing views. It’s modern, clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay in this area.

We had a perfect weekend at Phil and Larraine’s. The apartment was clean, spacious, well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The outside seating area and garden was lovely. Our hosts were always available if required but also respectful to our privacy. We felt like the place was ours and settled in from minute one. Thank you Phil & Larraine . Just one more thing - those views WOW!

We stayed at The ApARTment for 4 nights and loved our stay. We were a group of 4 adults and had plenty of space. The setting is beautiful, with great views from the living space of the surrounding hills, down into Dartmouth, and across to Kingswear. You could happily sit and stare at the view for hours! Simon and Theresa were brilliant hosts. Theresa was very communicative via messages and really welcoming when we arrived. Simon had some good recommendations for places to eat. Both were really friendly and relaxed when we bumped into them. All amenities are as listed and we had no problems self catering. The kitchen had everything we needed. The furnishings are comfortable and the whole place was immaculately clean. Finished with an artistic touch, including some of Simon's own work, the decoration is fantastic! It was walkable to Dartmouth for those that dont mind some hills! We wouldnt hesitate to book again, and I'd recommend The ApARTment to anyone.

The hosts were incredibly friendly, warm, and easy to talk to — they made me feel welcome right from the start. Check-in was smooth and hassle-free, and they were always available for any questions or local tips. The flat was spotless, well-equipped with everything I needed, and very comfortable. The location is excellent — within walking distance of everything — and having a safe parking space was a huge plus. They’re truly thoughtful and attentive hosts who clearly care about their guests. I’ll definitely be back in the future. Highly recommended! Tina&David thank you so much for hosting us!

Great location for exploring the local area. Town center property but very quiet and peaceful. Walking distance to a good selection of shops and restaurants. Great to have a parking space in town and easy access to main road routes in and out of the area.

Primrose Studio is a lovely base for two to stay in Totnes, you only need to cross one road and you're in town. We booked it in particular because we wanted to walk the Dart Valley Trail from Totnes to Dartmouth. It was great to be able to get back from a long days walking and have a hot shower and then only have a short walk to some lovely places to have a drink and good food. We would certainly recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Stunning apartment set in beautiful grounds with easy parking directly outside the door. Every room is beautifully furnished and the kitchen superb. We enjoyed spending time in the kitchen/diner and the garden room so much we didn't actually use the living room on our stay! The walk into Torquay would be very strenuous, (especially the uphill return!) so would advise driving instead. Communication with Josh was excellent.

We had to book very last second. Nicole was very helpful, answered super quickly and had this beautiful Airbnb ready for us. We were greeted be personalized signs and an Airbnb with a great atmosphere. You can see the love in every detail. Everything is clean and cozy and besides the usual things they provided detailed recommendations for the area, a free yoga class Nicole gives and a lot of small things like coffee, cereal and jam. We definitely recommend this Airbnb to anyone staying in the area.
