One of the nicest places we’ve stayed in, great location, no real traffic noise at night and an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. A parking permit for the main car park in Dartmouth was provided by Paul which was much appreciated.

Myself and family (4 adults, 2 children) thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night break here over the Christmas period. It was beautifully presented and decorated throughout, especially the coastal Christmas vibe in the living room.

Lovely place to stay. I became a regular at Seven Stars as it was really close. Convenient to everything. You do not need a car here. I even took the Tally Ho bus to Salcombe Beach.

“We had a wonderful stay. The perfect house for our extended family. So peaceful but within easy reach of places to visit. The donkeys in the next field were adorable. I cannot recommend thi house highly enough. Would love visit again sometime”.

Pictures don’t do it justice! Beautifully decorated – attention to detail in every room. Thoughtful touches provided. Went as a family of 7 plus dog and plenty of room for us all to sit & not be on top of each other. Walking distance to the beach & the Italian just by the house is amazing – highly recommend. Dartmouth park & ride is about 10 min easy drive away making a lovely day out. Loved our stay & hope to retur…
