“We had a brilliant stay at the boathouse, the location is incredible and the views breathtaking! We knew the area and so it was the perfect base for us for both relaxing at Torcross with friends or on Slapton Sounds, or exploring nearby Dartmouth or Blackpool sounds. I found the property more spacious than I was expecting and so plenty of room for 4 of you, we did find it a little challenging with our youngest daug…

The house was perfect for our family’s needs. The location is wonderful with a lovely local pub and shop. The bus service into Dartmouth was very convenient and meant we didn’t have to worry about parking etc. The house itself is exceptionally well equipped, especially the kitchen, where everything needed to cater for the family is provided. The quality of the furniture is very good especially the beds, which were v…

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful lodge number 2 on the Dartmouth golf and leisure estate at Dartmouth Grove. The lodge was beautifully clean and everything well thought through with a local theme. Location was directly on a wonderful championship golf course and excellent value as well as a spa, pool, tennis court and gym all on site. The gym and pool were free for all guests in the lodge and the spa was 25%…

A beautiful private house with a lovely garden for dog and children. Surrounded by high hedges you wouldn’t have known there were houses around at all. Many butterflies on the hedge in the back garden and we even had a pheasant arrive on the front lawn one day. Parking for at least 3 cars and a little path to The Village Inn, local shop/Post Office or down to the beach. The house has all you need for a multi-generat…

“Absolutely amazing place – such a unique and beautiful place to stay. The Captain’s Cabin exceeded our expectations. The bonus was being able to go downstairs into Alf-Rescos cafe and have wonderful breakfasts from 7am – which meant we could set off early on our walks. I’d really recommend this place. It’s fabulous. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. A five star review from us and we can’t wait to go ba…

Hello Paul, the apartment was very well appointed, we enjoyed the big spaces, and comfort of the place. A lovely opportunity for me to share with my daughter all that Dartmouth offers to the visitor, and we both enjoyed thoroughly the town, and Totnes, Kingsbridge and also Coleton Fishacre, which we would recommend to other of your guests. Only other observation because we were cooking for ourselves, we would have a…

Really lovely house in a great village. We loved visiting the Green Dragon pub and driving down to Blackpool Sands. The house has a high chair and stair gate so is great for toddlers.

This was a magical short break for our extended family. A beautiful house set in magnificent grounds which the photos really don’t do justice. The five children in our group all loved discovering the hidden garden and the pathways surrounding the property. All rooms were tastefully decorated, large and many, especially the big conservatory, with its wide opening doors, have superb views of the South Hams hillsides. …

Lovely stay at Galions. The views are incredible, the beds super comfortable, and the location ideal – an easy walk into Dartmouth and very close to the castle and castle to town ferry. Would happily stay again.
