Really enjoyed our stay and wished we were staying longer! The house is beautiful and great for a big family group. The kitchen is a lovely social space, the lounge is so comfortable and we loved eating outside on the patio. Easy bus journey into Dartmouth if you don’t want to drive and find parking. The Green Dragon pub in the village is brilliant for food and drinks – the staff were very accommodating and helpful.

“A fabulous stay – the cottage is a good size with everything you need. Very very comfortable, lovely leather sofas and a wood burner for the evenings. Separate kitchen and eating area – 2 double bedrooms with classic bath in one and a shower room. High chairs and stair gates available. Very clean and warm. Parking for 2 cars – play area for kids – and very easy to get to local attractions and towns. One of the best…

Our family of five had an amazing stay here. It’s a great location on the outskirts of Dartmouth and has access to some excellent beaches we made use of the Golf facilities which were also fantastic.

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!

Amazing weekend stay for my mums 60th birthday! The accommodation was exactly as pictured, very clean and came with lots of homely extras that you don’t always get! Instructions and communication all very clear! 5 minute drive down into the beautiful town of Dartmouth, with lovely places to eat or just a general stunning walk around. We added the hot tub and it was just perfect!

We felt very comfortable in the apartment. Everything was very clean, and every detail had been considered—from an extra fan to earplugs. Communication with the host was excellent. The only thing to watch out for is the timing regarding parking: you need to pay close attention to the schedule of the bus running to the park-and-ride lot outside town (it only operates between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.) and be mindful of the r…

This apartment was absolute heaven! my husband and I had the best time with our 9 month old baby – Paul was so helpful with our stay – there was even a Christmas tree up which was so lovely ❤️ The apartment had comfy beds, great kitchen and one of the best views of Dartmouth overlooking the river and the mouth of the ocean. Walk to town is under 5 mins, and not too steep which was a real help with the pram! such a c…
