Stargazy was everything I had hoped for as a surprise break for the family. House was spotlessly clean on our arrival, access was easy and the property was equipped with all the facilities we needed for our stay. WiFi was great. Our stay coincided with weather that was too hot for us to sunbathe, but the house’s proximity to the beach made it easy to take a quick, cooling swim whenever we wanted. Views from the uppe…

“We have stayed in many holiday homes and this is definitely one of the best. The cabin is beautifully decorated with so much attention to detail.

Comfortable beds, spotlessly clean, well stocked kitchen, spacious and homely in a beautiful location. I wholeheartedly recom…

We had a fabulous few days at Solstice. The apartment was ideal, very clean, comfortable and well-equipped and in a fantastic location. Amazing views across the estuary. It was a bonus to have the garage; we didn’t use the car at all as everything was within walking distance. Excellent and helpful communication. We would highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely, clean home with very comfortable beds. It’s located on a steep hill, but it offers beautiful views and is just a short, easy walk to the marina. We loved being so close to Dartmouth’s great boutique shops, cafes, and ice cream spots. Perfect for a family stay!
