Below Deck is a lovely base from which to explore Devon. It's very comfortable and is furnished beautifully, decorated to a high standard throughout. Just be aware that it is at the top of a very steep hill, which does take its toll on the legs by the end of the holiday!

A good location for visiting the English Rivera. Very clean, modern and comfortable facilities. Friendly hosts and easy distance of restaurants, take aways and food shops. There were so many things to do we will definitely be back to this area.

We have just enjoyed a lovely week at Below Deck. The living area is well equipped, everything you could need. I was delighted to stay somewhere with plenty of headroom! Nice and cosy and cool.Two nights we had a little barbecue out on the patio area, it was all just lovely. One thing which is not really a criticism, local topography is what it is, but there are some serious hills about.Hills aside we have very fond memories of our stay at Below Deck and would definitely recommend.
