“Stop scrolling! This place is beautiful with stunning views. We had a magical three nights stay here to recharge before Christmas. Dartmouth never disappoints and this place was perfect to relax and unwind that is just a stones throw from all that Dartmouth has to offer”.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in The Cabin! Super peaceful, spacious, and full of hospitable touches which made us feel right at home. Clear, and prompt, communication was appreciated, and the surroundings were just so gorgeous with Autumn colours! We thoroughly recommend staying here (but don’t tell anyone! ;))

The park and ride is very efficient and we left the car there and used the many mode…

This was a brilliant find. Tracey the lovely owner also looks after the place, and does it to an immaculate standard. What really stood out was the thoughtful nature of everything provided. Really good quality kitchen equipment, with absolutely everything you would have in your own kitchen. Compact and clean bathrooms with complimentary abloutions. Decent storage space. Access to Netflix etc and a PS4. Even the hair…
