Best value B and B we’ve stayed in. Spacious room with comfy firm bed. Amazing breakfast included – proper fresh orange juice, locally sourced bacon, sausage and egg. A popular place for breakfast.

This was my second stay and a first for some family members we brought along with us. Yet again, everyone was delighted with the property and its location and we would all loved to have stayed for longer! Paul responds in great time to any messages and is super helpful. We would absolutely stay again.

This place was better than we expected and was very well prepared for our group that also had young children. The views are absolutely amazing and it is just a short stroll into the town. We would definitely return.

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.

We had a wonderful few days here. It was very clean & well equipped & and easy walk into the centre of Dartmouth. The car parking space was an added bonus. Recommend 100% although the steep steps would be a challenge for v young children or those with mobility issues but that is explained in the listing. Would definitely book again if return to beautiful Dartmouth.

Second time staying at Trafalgar Cottage, but first time under current owners. The cottage is (still!) stunning with superb views, and this time round parking was much simpler as we managed to get free parking along the embankment (it’s only free until May!). Paul the new owner was great, booking was simple, instructions clear, and he responded quickly to messages. Overall highly recommended!

We absolutely loved the Captains Cabin! We would definitely stay again. It was so quirky and the views were fantastic from the balcony! Paul was really responsive every time we pinged a message over… couldn’t fault him at all. We will and already have recommended the Captains Cabin to our friends and family!
