A very enjoyable stay! Dartmouth was lovely and the house is relatively close to the high street … but the hill up to the house was quite the incline – It was just about manageable with young children / pram.

Very clean and comfortable accommodation for six of us, plus a dog. Looks exactly like the photos. Super peaceful surrounded by woodlands and private – even though there are eight lodges, you would never know as they are all obscured by trees. It’s very remote so you will find getting in and out using the single track lanes for 20 mins at the start and end of your daily journey potentially frustrating and you need t…

A beautiful townhouse in a great location with views out to the Dart estuary, right around to Kingswear and the town. Exceptional. Parking in garage under the property too is a very big bonus.

What a fabulous few days we’ve had at Stargazy over Christmas. The location was perfect, off the beaten track, but within reach of pubs/shops etc. The house itself is beautiful with views of the beach and ocean, a wonderful backdrop for Christmas dinner it has to be said. Paul was a fantastic host, always responsive, leaving a bottle of bubbly for our arrival and decorating the lounge with a lovely tree.

Great place – the garage parking is a rare thing and the views from the property are perfect. From watching the ferries, to the weather coming in, you can spend hours sitting in the bay windows quite happily! A very short walk into town as well.

The apartment is very well located and the parking permit was really useful as parking a large car in a small street can be a challenge! The owner was incredibly helpful, accommodating and very friendly too. We thought the apartment had been thoughtfully designed to a high spec and everything was as described which resulted in a very enjoyable and comfortable few days away. Dartmouth is a fantastic place to visit wi…

Beautiful location with wonderful views. Ideally situated with local amenities conveniently situated. Not easy for those with walking difficulties as there are steep steps down to the property. Does need some attention to the interior and exterior decoration as it is showing signs of wear. That aside this is a very nice home to enjoy whatever the weather with picture windows and rap around terraces

Very nice, larger property. Very peaceful and yet only just off the A381. Great location for exploring Dartmouth, Totnes, Salcombe. Debbie and Richard are friendly hosts.
