We returned home last week after a lovely stay. The house was everything we needed it to be as a base for our holiday. Lovely outside space that we enjoyed eating our meals at because we were lucky with the weather. Dartmouth is beautiful, the house is right at the top of the hill from the main harbour and things so is a bit of a walk all uphill on the way back. However we found it easy to park in dartmouth main car…

You’ll only hit your head once believe me. The fresh white bedlinen and towels provi…

We had a lovely stay at Spyglass and would definitely recommend it. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped with great amenities. The views were the real standout, absolutely incredible looking out over the water and something we never got tired of. Everything was well prepared for our stay, with fresh, clean linen and plenty of towels provided, which made things very easy and comfortable. As me…

We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate a really special stay in Dartmouth. Our son was passing out from Britannia Naval College and it was my wife’s 60th Birthday. The house was perfect. Amazing location just above the town with views over the river from every beautifully decorated room. The outside space was a real highlight particularly the lovely terrace looking straight out over the river. The house…
