Such a unique place. So cleverly fitted out as a boat that during a storm we believed we were on the high seas! Stunning views, wonderful food at Alf Rescos and the parking permit made things so easy. The position in central Dartmouth couldn’t be better. We are planning to revisit asap and wouldn’t hesitate te recommend the cabin.

“This is a gem, right in the centre of Dartmouth. Everything from start to finish was marvellous. Breakfast at Alfs was super good. This is a truly unique place. Next booking we hope to go for the Captains apartment at top of house. We highly recommend King Alf’s.”

The cabin was quirky, watching the water go by was extremely serene and peaceful. The beds were super comfy and the cabin had most things that you would need.

We had a super time in The Apartment, Newcomen Road. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we wanted and more. It is really conveniently located for the town of Dartmouth, including a walk to the castle. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. We are grateful to Tracey for her communication. We hope to return as this apartment is a great find and we frequently visit Dartmouth.

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing home with the most beautiful surroundings overlooking the water and the steam train and is within walking distance of the shops. The house more than met expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. WiFi is installed and there are also a lot of games to entertain yourself with. It has our highest recommendations. We’d love to come back another day.
