We had a lovely stay at this property in Dartmouth, the house was an ideal place for our family, being close to the town and having its own parking. The house itself was spacious and comfortable, the beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped.

A beautiful apartment with lovely views across the estuary. The walk from the town is about 10mins and fine without a lot to carry. It’s quite a long incline. Not steep though. And it’s definitely worth it when you get there! Super comfortable and the photos don’t do it justice! We had a great stay and would certainly book it again. The park and ride is very efficient and we left the car there and used the many mode…

“Well, this place certainly has the WOW Factor… absolutely stunning, I don’t think I’ve ever walked into a house and been blown away like this before. I booked this for my family to celebrate my sisters 40th and we all had the best time, the house is faultless and simply amazing, the views are amazing, location wise it’s a short walk to all the shops and pubs which again is a big plus, Paul was a great host friendly…

A stunningly beautiful location to enjoy Dartmouth. The jaw dropping views of the harbour from the property are reason enough to stay here. The house itself is spacious, comfortable and stylish and in a great central location. Paul the host was responsive, polite and friendly. I’ll be back next year!

The apartment is very well located and the parking permit was really useful as parking a large car in a small street can be a challenge! The owner was incredibly helpful, accommodating and very friendly too. We thought the apartment had been thoughtfully designed to a high spec and everything was as described which resulted in a very enjoyable and comfortable few days away. Dartmouth is a fantastic place to visit wi…
