We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. It was well equipped with everything you need. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. The location is peaceful and great for exploring local beaches, making it a good base for days out. Communication throughout the booking process and with any queries about the property was prompt and helpful, which was really appreciated. Overall, we’d happily stay again. Th…

Spotless clean and superbly equipped. Everything was provided in the kitchen, including a plentiful supply of crockery, cutlery, glassware and utensils. Superb mattress ensured a good night’s sleep. Both shower room we’re very clean. The whole apartment is well furbished and we found the owner, Tracey, most helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend as a great place to stay in Dartmouth, close to…

We very much enjoyed our stay at Hideaway in Ringmore. The thatched cottage is an absolute delight, cleverly converted to the highest standard of design, decor and comfort. Equipped with all you need for a perfect stay with a few added twists to make it a home from home. Even a little pretty rear garden with table and chairs. The charming village pub, unfortunately closed Mondays and Tuesdays is a short walk aw…

Lovely private development surrounded by lovely countryside. A great base not too fussy but with everything you need in a property. Location great for walks, quirky pubs, and more than one local beach. Very dog friendly too.

The garden was lovely to sit out in in the morning and for a BBQ and games on the evening. Communication w…

We had a lovely 5 night break. Beautiful views of the river estuary. Walkable to the town and ferries in one direction and Dartmouth castle and coast path in the other.

Tarifa #1 is a well maintained 2 bedroom apartment about 200m from the sea, as the seagull flies, and in an excellent location for visiting Burgh Island. It is accessed via a steep drive and it’s steeply downhill to the sea, so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. We used only the double bedroom which has a massive bed and an en-suite bathroom, both were spotlessly clean. The property also has a seco…

Very nice duplex apartment, well appointed in a central area of Dartmouth – a few minutes walk from everything in the town. I would use it again.
