This house, unassuming from the outside, is located in a quiet neighborhood, but its interior is charming and pleasant. A small welcome pack with coffee was in the kitchen. The top terrace invites you to relax and unwind, with a lovely view of the harbour and early morning sun. The second terrace is perfect for breakfast. In cooler weather, it would be nicer to sit on cushions. The wooden chairs were a bit damp. Jus…

The property was located close to the harbor where there were many restaurants cafes and bars, shingle beach 10 min from harbour, torquay just a 30 min ferry trip, Dartmouth 5 mile away. Really enjoyed our stay.”

We had a lovely week i n Lower Deck. It is a short stroll down into the town and a longer walk in the opposite direction to the castle and round the headland. We loved waking up to the views across the water and we managed the whole week without using our car, taking ferries and buses to visit Totnes, Brixham and Agatha Christie’s house, Greenway. Dartmouth has a lot of independent shops to indulge in and we ate out…

I really cannot recommend this property enough. The lodge and its location were stunning and Paul was an extremely helpful host. The facilities at the adjacent hotel were excellent too. We had a fantastic holiday and I can’t thank you enough

Stargazy was everything I had hoped for as a surprise break for the family. House was spotlessly clean on our arrival, access was easy and the property was equipped with all the facilities we needed for our stay. WiFi was great. Our stay coincided with weather that was too hot for us to sunbathe, but the house’s proximity to the beach made it easy to take a quick, cooling swim whenever we wanted. Views from the uppe…

This is an absolutely fabulous an very spacious apartment! Extremely well equipped for cooking. Really big beautiful master bedroom and bathroom and a good twin with own bathroom. So close to lovely coves, the castle, beaches. Dartmouth is fantastic for families. We loved the little ferries and boat trip to the castle plus the steam train. Also great walks round the cliffs and coves.
