5 Jamie, Clevedon , date of stay: December 2022. Rated this property:

Tubbs set in a quiet little village, with a jacuzzi at the back of the house overlooking a Valley with views of Dartmoor. Local pubs within walking distance of the house. Great walking from the house for breakfast and a-bit of sea air. Hopefully will be visiting again soon. Read more
