Absolutely fabulous luxury apartment with a view to surpass all others. Photos dont do the listing enough justice! Cosy beds, luxury bathrooms and everything you need for a home from home stay. Dartmouth took our breath away.

A lovely flat in a great location. Torcross was great despite still recovering from last winter’s storms. Close by are great pubs, a beautiful coastline and great walks.

The Townhouse was nice, but a little cold. It was clean and well maintained. Not too far from Dartmouth shops and restaurants. Easy walk in, but a big climb back – good workout 😁.

Amazing few days away to see in the new year! Place was spotless! Having a Christmas tree was such a lovely surprise! Enjoying the hot tub on a cold evening was great! The lodge was beautiful! We would love to come back! Will miss waking up in the morning and looking at the view of the golf course. Thank you Paul & Co.

Lower Heywood is well located, very close to beautiful views, shops and local restaurants. Out of season, if you’re lucky there is on street parking opposite which we benefitted from during our stay. The accommodation is well appointed with good quality fixtures and fittings and equipment. It is comfortable and warm. There is a stylish free standing bath as well as a good shower. We would definitely stay again.

We had a good time in Devon staying at this place. Good spot to go to local beaches within 30minutes while enjoying the tranquility of the country side.

We have just spent the most wonderful long weekend at Steppes. It is the most wonderful house with an amazing view which was perfect for a big family get together. Coffee on the deck in the morning sunshine, looking at everything going on in the harbour and the view out to see was just incredible. Thank you for letting us enjoy this wonderful house.

This house, ideally located on a quiet, colorful street in the center of Dartmouth, was perfect for our stay. Paul was very accommodating, allowing us to arrive at times that suited our baby’s nap schedule. The bedding was very comfortable, and the accommodation was well-equipped (thanks for the fans provided during the heatwave). Just a stone’s throw from the harbor and shops—simply perfect.
