Brought friends with us for our 2nd stay with Kit and Penny. All four of us did Kit's "Taste of Devon" cooking experience. We settled (in advance by phone) on lamb and he had called ahead for some lovely racks. Everything else we selected from various stalls, shops and his organic produce delivery. After shopping in Dartmouth, Kit treated us... More

My wife and I travel extensively for work and were looking forward to an oasis of calm. We stayed at Nonsuch House last week and our experience couldn't have been better. Penny and Kit are wonderful hosts and the views from our room across the Dart River and Dartmouth Castle were breathtaking. We were lucky with the weather and had... More

Nonsuch House is a beautiful place to stay. We had a fabulous 3 nights break here in March and loved every minute of it. The food is fabulous and nothing is too much trouble. We had tea and homemade cake every afternoon in the beautiful conservatory overlooking the river. The evening meals were superb. We ate at the local Pub... More

After a long drive a cheerful welcome, a stunning view, a cup of tea and delicious home made cake together set the scene for a perfectly relaxed weekend. Nonsuch house has beautifully decorated, spacious rooms with everything you could possibly need.

We booked 2 nights at Nonsuch House purely because of the rave reviews on trip advisor and as our experience didnt live up to the high expectations set I really felt I should post our experience for the benefit of other travellers. When we arrived at the pre-agreed time of 2pm we couldn't park. After a 6 hour drive this... More

All rooms at this luxury B and B have magnificent views of the estuary and sea. Rooms are large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Bathrooms though small are spotlessly clean and well appointed. Abundance of white fluffy towels and nice toiletries. Great attention to detail in the room, with a turn down service and fresh milk provided each evening ready for... More

We had stayed three nights in Torquay and decided to add two more nights in Dartmouth. We are still undecided as to whether it is better to be in Dartmouth or Kingswear so tried Kingswear this time. The "hotel" is what I would call a high quality bed and breakfast. It is situated on a steep hill 100ft above the... More
