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.

Our stay was a perfect base for a family holiday. The nearness of the beach a definite asset especially when you have a 3 year old with you! You could easily pop back if something had been forgotten. Despite the time of year we had glorious weather; it seems to have it’s own micro climate which left us mostly sunny and dry whilst most other places had rain? This enabled the extended family to gather for evening meal…

This was a magical short break for our extended family. A beautiful house set in magnificent grounds which the photos really don’t do justice. The five children in our group all loved discovering the hidden garden and the pathways surrounding the property. All rooms were tastefully decorated, large and many, especially the big conservatory, with its wide opening doors, have superb views of the South Hams hillsides. …

Perfect venue for large family gathering – room choices were great. Immaculate presentation with all mod cons. Amazing views and location. Would advise travelling light as the steps down and up to the house are not for the faint hearted and there is no parking outside the property. All being said – we would definitely come back and stay – lovely!

We loved our stay at Lower Deck, it was spotless, had everything we needed and was a short walk into Dartmouth town. The view from the property is stunning, and it’s such a peaceful spot which was perfect for our family getaway. Beds were very comfy and it was great having two bathrooms. Paul was very responsive and helpful – thank you for a great stay. Top tip: we had an amazing meal at Andria in the town centre! A…

We’ve just completed a 21-day stay at 9 Riverside Wharf, and it truly stole our hearts. The place was beautifully prepared with thoughtful details that exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped inside, all the fatigue of the journey faded away — it felt like a peaceful haven for our family. We’re so grateful for the warmth and care that welcomed us. Thank you for making us feel at home.

Blissful stay at Stargazy for our family of 5 was truly memorable. Spacious, comfortable interior with touch of relaxed luxury throughout really brought a home feel. The views are beautiful, the sunrise over the lounge decks was superb. Generous outdoor and indoor dining space treats with ample space and comfort. We only booked 3 nights this time for sake of easy access to the Bigbury beach and nature walks. Beautif…
