We had an amazing week at Buzzard. Such a great base to explore so many different places and a beautiful setting too.The property was spacious and clean & very comfortable. Having 3 bathrooms was a bonus for us and the free, unlimited spa access made it such good value too.Would highly recommend Buzzard!

A really enjoyable week at Buzzard. The property was pretty perfect. The swimming pool and spa were within short walking distance of the house. Two supermarkets and a pub close by. Dartmouth was stunning. Would definitely recommend! 😍

As this was a last minute change due to cancellation by previous property, we were so happy!. The location was lovely and the property was very modern and nicely decorated. It does need a little TLC on the woodwork outside and needs some more kitchen utensils and pans for self-catering but overall it was probably better than our original booking. Would highly recommend.
