“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…

A fabulous flat in the perfect location. Everything was in walking distance. The car park we parked in was a 5 min walk max, we used the flat’s parking permit for the whole weekend. The flat was very clean and had everything we needed. Even an umbrella, which we used ! The bed was very comfortable too. Definitely a flat we would stay in again. We met Tracey the owner and she was a mind of helpful information on plac…

“The house is very comfortable and well maintained . It offers everything you need. Three adults have enough space.You can quickly walk to the city center and have shopping ,pubs and restaurants. Parking near the property is always available.Very nice landscape. Small towns ,beaches and hiking trails are easy to reach. All in all recommended.”

Wonderful stay in Dartmouth – location of the flat is perfect, close enough to everything you need but quieter than the centre. Views are amazing and the property is very well equipped. The main bedroom could do with a bigger bed – it’s a double not a king! But overall a fantastic property and highly recommend

Nice place, comfortable. Only negative was that the hot tub wasn’t included in the price and this made us feel the accommodation was slight over priced. Unfortunately we didn’t realise it was extra cost as we booked before reading the entire passage on the property.

Location fantastic with stunning elevated views of the estuary. The pretty front garden has 2 seating areas to enjoy the panoramic views. Living room and 2 bedrooms (1 compact single and one spacious double) have lovely bay window views. Dining area to rear of living room limited for space with seating for more than 4 tricky. Odd L shaped kitchen to rear is rudimentary and a little unpractical but has dishwasher, sm…

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…
