Want somewhere spectacularly beautiful, perfectly quiet and full of home comforts? So do we, which is why we have just made our fifth visit to Heron's Rest. The view alone is worth the trip. There's so much to do, whatever the season or the weather. We always go in November and take our time over the gorgeous walks (we recommend Long Wood into Kingswear and taking the steam train back to Greenway Halt), shopping for food in Totnes, lazy lunches in Dartmouth (try the Dolphin for great food and atmos) and just taking in the view from the huge sofa. The perfect holiday in the perfect place...just don't tell anyone else, it can be our little secret. ...

What a lovely quite retreat with good views on the river Dart. Waking up to a difference view each morning was lovely. Good walk from the property to Kingswear then back by river boat to Greenway followed by a short walk back to the property with a view of the whole of the River Dart. The property is well equipment for all your needs. Belonging to National Trust and English Heritage there was plenty to see in the area. We had a week in October and we were very lucky with the weather. Would like to return to Heron's Rest for another holiday at a difference time of the year and for a longer time....
