On a couple of occasions we got up early and just soaked up the peaceful atmosphere. Sitting in the conservatory we saw pheasants hares and squirrels. The walk along the river was lovely, Playing about on the lawn was a lot of fun and when we were feeling more energetic we played table tennis too. It´s great to have such a well equipped kitchen and we thoroughly enjoyed the welcome hamper. We will be sorry to leave such an incredible place and we´re already planning to return. It´s a place to relax and simply enjoy a home from home. A real treat and one we´d thoroughly recommend.

An idyllic spot. We felt relaxed and at home from the moment we arrived. After a long journey we called off in the pool and then sat in the sunshine drinking in the wonderful views to the river surrounded by beautiful countryside. It´s a special house with spots to suit any mood and a perfect position to enjoy everything that makes this part of Devon a delight. We used the barbecue and fire pit and on another evening we went up to the roof terrace to look at the stars. It was a little cloudy but it was still amazing listening to the sounds of wildlife.

Thank you for the opportunity to stay in your wonderful home. We have enjoyed our week here, staying in such a stylish and beautifully designed house. Everything is done to such a high spec. It was such an enjoyable experience to live in such luxury. We didn´t venture far (why would you?) we visited Gather in Totnes and The River Shack in Stoke Gabriel for lunch, both highly recommended. Thank you both for such a wonderful house where our family (10 of us, from 10 to 80) have all loved being here.

It´s been such a magical week here! Returning to Devon where I grew up and visiting all the special places I knew as a child with my boys, and have now had the privilege of visiting with my grandsons too. The views I shall remember always.

We have had such a wonderful time at this fabulous house and have been blessed with sunny days to spend in the garden. We have loved taking the children (four boys, aged five months to six years) crabbing at Stoke Gabriel, taking the ferry to Dittisham, the steam train from Paignton to Kingswear and lots of fun on the beach at Broadsands. The River Shack does fab breakfasts and pizza in a lovely setting! A fab week, thank you!

Thank you for this amazing home-away-from-home. It´s been a dream week here and we hope to be back again in the future to create many more amazing memories.

What an incredible week in your gorgeous house. We had a truly special family time, perfect in every way from start to finish for our group aged eight-77! We loved the welcome hamper, swam every day in the pool, explored the river, gardens, and played for hours in the games rooms. Early mornings were a delight, watching nature on the lawn from the conservatory space. We felt comfortable here immediately and really enjoyed our trips out to explore such a beautiful part of the world. Thank you for an extraordinarily memorable family holiday. We´ve had the best time and hope to return one day.

Absolutely incredible stay, we had many adventurous days out on Dartmoor, perfectly balanced by our cosy afternoons in. The house is beautiful, and the same goes for the surrounding area. We went on many coastal walks, even walking all the way into town for some fish and chips (best we´ve had so far). We highly recommend the Devon Tennis club too. Thank you for the goodies from your garden and the chocolates on the Christmas tree, our six year old was very happy!

Thank you so much for a wonderful week. The property is fabulous and we have enjoyed being in such idyllic surroundings. We look forward to returning one day soon. Thank you again.

We´ve had a wonderful time in this beautiful house. This is our fourth time renting a house for a big family holiday - and this has by far, been our best experience. Beautifully furnished and well appointed - we don´t want to leave. The hamper of homegrown goodies was a lovely treat too. We´ll be back, thank you.

We have had the most wonderful two weeks in this beautiful house. Perfect location for us all to relax, and enjoy the lovely weather and fabulous restaurants nearby. Kayaking on the river, early morning runs, trips to the vineyard, and lots of books enjoyed. Thank you for the lovely welcome hamper. We enjoyed the apple juice and made tasty dishes with the veg. Everything we needed was available, I will miss the views and the cosy naps in the conservatory. We hope to return one day.

We spent a wonderful week at Leopoldina, it was a very special family time together, including an engagement. The setting, garden, and views are so beautiful and it was a treat to be here.

Thank you for the most wonderful stay at your beautiful house! The energy here is so special. We instantly felt at peace and relaxed when we arrived. The views are unforgettable, we loved our walks down the river and our daughter loved playing on the lawn. The pool was one of the nicest pools we´ve ever been in. We swam in it at least twice a day! We ate, slept, rested and did jigsaws, had fun, and spent time together as a family. We made beautiful special memories we will cherish. We look forward to coming back and exploring more of this part of the country. We are totally in love with it all.

Thank you for an amazing stay at Leopoldina. We had such a fun time exploring all the beaches and villages of the South Hams. Returning to a beautiful house to relax in the grounds and by the pool was extra special. We loved the view and we are particularly grateful to stay in a house with an EV charger and powered by an ASHP- a big selling point for us. We hope to return one day soon.

Leopoldina is a wonderful home! It went above and beyond a normal house rental for accommodation. Having a heated pool meant we could use it come rain or shine, and the family got to really enjoy it. Thank you for a lovely stay.
