Beautiful house and views. Stunning location just to relax and watch life on the River Dart, potter around historic Dartmouth or get out onto the coast path. Wonderful Sun trap that made late February feel like early summer! There are quite a few steps down to the property and lack of parking was the only downside. Highly recommend.

What a truly breathtaking property. The pictures just don’t match up to the wow factor when you walk in. Of course the unbelievable views help , but the house itself is beautiful! Right on the river , we could have stayed on the balcony for the whole weekend just relaxing and enjoying the view. Location was fabulous, beds were comfortable, and the house was spacious and I loved how it was on different levels so you …

Stunning views by the river. Beautiful house with lots of room to sit and enjoy the views. Well appointed kitchen with Nespresso coffee machine. Tea, coffee provided as well as a hamper with wine to welcome us. Great place to stay with a big group of family or friends. Very short walk into town to restock groceries ( a great M&S in town) wander the beautiful streets or go out to one of the many lovely restaurants. W…

Our stay at Lower Deck was amazing, the apartment was spacious, clean and had everything you need. A special mention must go to ‘ the trolley ‘ which made getting your luggage to and from the apartment very easy, such a great idea. one could spend the whole holiday in the apartment just looking at the view as it is so spectacular but Dartmouth has much to offer and the walk into town is quick and easy. we ate at ‘th…

“We were looking for beach front and this was certainly that. An idyllic home in a beautiful location. Amazing to hear the sea all the time. There is a local coffee shop, chip shop restaurant/ takeaway. The nearby farm shop was a great find. This home in a beautiful location was just perfect to explore surrounding south Devon coastal walks and beaches”.

We stayed at the lodge as a family of four in April and had a fantastic experience. The lodge was immaculate, beautifully equipped, and exceptionally comfortable – especially the superking bed. Despite some ongoing resort development, it was peaceful with stunning views over the golf course and hills. We enjoyed the hot tub, patio furniture, and access to the nearby hotel’s pool facilities. The location was ideal fo…

What an amazing apartment! The views are stunning. The beds were great and everything was spotless. Long stay parking during the day was a bit tricky as the road to Warfleet is shut so it’s a long drive round but not a major problem for us. We had a brilliant stay and Paul was very helpful and responsive.

We really enjoyed our stay at Palm Cott. Directions for access were clear. The cottage was well-furnished and the beds were super comfy. We were grateful for the fans as the heatwave meant it got a bit stuffy at night! Kitchen was small but laid out well and had almost everything you need. We did think the addition of a veg peeler and cheese grater would be good. Everything worked well and we felt very at ho…
