We have completely fallen in love with this place. The peace, the heart-stopping view, the wonderful walks on your doorstep (we use hardly any petrols once we're here), the birdsong...did we mention the view? Our advice: take a walk down to Kingswear through the Long Wood (about 4 miles and you'll need sturdy footwear), cross to Dartmouth on the ferry (look out for seals and dolphins) and eat posh scampi at The Dolphin. Take the steam train back to Churston Ferrers (sit in the Devon Belle observation car), catch the bus to Greenway Halt and walk the mile back to Heron's Rest through the Greenway wood. It's a good challenging walk, food is fantastic and you'll have truly experienced the Dart. We do it at least twice each visit. What a blissful place. ...

Both the house and location are stunning, if you are looking for some true rest and relaxation in a secluded spot Heron's Rest is perfect. Every fitting and furnishing is of the highest quality but still extremely homely, welcoming and more than comfortable We never tired of the view of the viaduct with the steam train gently chugging by, with a backdrop of the tidal estuary whilst relaxing on the terrace....

This is an unusual, spacious and well appointed property effectively built into the side of a hill having unsurpassed views across the valley to the river Dart. A south facing patio gave sunshine for most of the day, greatly enhancing the feeling of comfort and tranquility. All in all an excellent week's stay....
