We had an excellent stay at Lower Heywood in Dartmouth. The apartment was beautifully presented, very well equipped, and maintained to a high standard throughout. The rainfall shower was superb. It provided a comfortable and relaxing base, with everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday. The location was ideal for exploring Dartmouth and the surrounding area, and we particularly appreciated the setting next to th…

Perfect location, perfect accommodation and very responsive hosts. We had a lovely but brief time here but enjoyed so much that we are already planning our return next year, but will definitely stay for longer next time. Thank you so much

Wonderful location, as it is accessed via a car park with a very short walk along a rivers edge & into a field – finding it in the dark was a challenge but another time it would be a breeze. Beautiful place on the water – at high tide you felt as you were almost floating in the water. And so wonderful watching how your view altered throughout the day – with boats & hydrofoils. Place is very nicely decked out with to…

Great place to stay to explore Dartmouth and the whole of south hams. Hot tub is a great addition and golfers wandering by provided entertainment all day long! Can reccomend the Sportsmans arms for dinner and the old inn, also worth going to Dittisham and getting the ferry over to greenway! Fantastic stay and would come again!

We had a marvellous few days in Dartmouth. The Captains Cabin was queerly and had views to die for. Paul was a great host and responded promptly to messages. The cafe made breakfast easy and lived up to the reviews. Highly recommend the stay to anyone wanting something a bit different

This property was absolutely perfect for a weekend away from London with friends. We only needed 2 of the bedrooms, but 2 other rooms were available. We brought our dog as well. Everyone thought the property was perfect for all we wanted to do. We came to dine at Seahorse and go hiking in the area. Dartmouth was a great home base for all we wanted to do – eat great seafood, breath fresh air, and be in the outdoors. …
