Lovely apartment in a great location. Really enjoyed our stay. The mattresses and pillows are super comfy so great nights sleeps experienced by all of us. The bathroom has one of the best showers I have ever used. Great pressure. Totally recommend this apartment and would love to stay here again.

With accommodation on four levels each one of which has wonderful views over the harbour it is a fabulous place to spend time. Well equipped and nicely furnished, with comfortable beds and even a woodburner, a nice selection of books and magazines, it’s a perfect holiday home rain or shine. We enjoyed the terrace garden too. The location is great being right above the town centre but the steep steps leading up to th…

Highly reccommend this beautiful apartment for a coastal escape!! Thanks so much for helping us make great me…

Fantastic stay here for my parents’ Christmas present. Beautifully kept property, that accommodated us all perfectly. Plenty of space for 7 adults to all live, socialise and enjoy. Couldn’t find a single fault and would recommended very highly. Would happily return again and again, and likely will. Thanks again!

Great place to stay to explore Dartmouth and the whole of south hams. Hot tub is a great addition and golfers wandering by provided entertainment all day long! Can recommend the Sportsmans arms for dinner and the old inn, also worth going to Dittisham and getting the ferry over to greenway! Fantastic stay and would come again!
