A lovely home with outstanding views across the river from every room. Lovely terraces to sit and dine on and a very well stocked kitchen and with lots of things you don’t always get in an air bnb (salt and pepper, olive oil, sharp knives, dishwasher tablets, washing machine liquid etc) so cooking at home was a pleasure. Comfortable furniture and beds. A short walk to the heart of town and everything it offers. No a…

Amazing few days away to see in the new year! Place was spotless! Having a Christmas tree was such a lovely surprise! Enjoying the hot tub on a cold evening was great! The lodge was beautiful! We would love to come back! Will miss waking up in the morning and looking at the view of the golf course. Thank you Paul & Co.

We loved The Captain’s Cabin! The furnishings really did make us think we were staying on a boat. Breakfast at Alf Fresco was an added bonus. A perfect base for our weekend walking the coast path.

The upstairs has views of the hills and my partner loved sitting out on the little balcony and watching the night sky. We were there in hot weather. It worked for us since we were out during the day. It was easy to cool the top floor in the evenings by opening up all of the windows. The bedroom downstairs was always cool enough to sleep well.

“Al Fresco’s cafe and bnb rooms are obviously legendary in Dartmouth, sitting right in the heart of the waterfront area. We were lucky to get an opportunity to stay in this amazingly well designed and run place for 4 nights. Our room was compact but uncluttered, and so well designed we didn’t have a problem using the space. The free brunch, available from 7 til 2, was the icing on the cake. Offering the best cooked …

Lovely stay at Galions. The views are incredible, the beds super comfortable, and the location ideal – an easy walk into Dartmouth and very close to the castle and castle to town ferry. Would happily stay again.
