The lodge was superb with fantastic views of the golf course and surrounding countryside,with bifolding doors opening out on to a large patio . Positioned just outside Dartmouth it was ideal for visiting the numerous local attractions including Dartmouth,Salcombe,Totnes and the nearby beaches of Blackpool sands and Slapton sands,all within easy reach. All in all a great place and would visit again

Fantastic appartment, immaculate and spotlessly clean. It’s in a great location to be able to walk and enjoy all the delights of Dartmouth. Highly recommend.

This is a delightful apartment with stunning views. Very light and airy. Easy walk into the town but in a very quiet location (particularly with the closed road). Very short walks to local swimming spots. I would recommend Warfleet Creek – only 5 minutes walk but was completely quiet even in a heat wave. Dartmouth is full of wonderful eating places and Lower Deck is a brilliant location to try them!

Lovely place and very well located. Comfortable and really well looked after. Will book again when we head back. Lovely property! Been coming down to Strete and Dartmouth for about 25 years or so, and it was by far the nicest spot we’ve stayed in!

What a gem and in such a fantastic location. We know Kingsbridge well and this is our favourite place so far. It’s rare to find a place with a parking spot in the area We will be coming back. Thanks

“Great little cottage just outside Blackawton. Spacious and cosy, there was a real Christmas tree which was great for our stay over Christmas. Thank you for having us all”.

We stayed at Trafalgar Cottage for the weekend in August. The house is furnished to a very high standard, extremely tastefully decorated, but what elevates it are the amazing views from literally every room and the gorgeous terrace where we say for hours just watching the boats and the world go by. If you are considering staying here as two couples or a family, don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed.

I stayed in Dart Lookout for 8 days and it really is a sanctuary and a place to relax and watch the world go by. Birds, cruise ships, staff from the hotel below, next door’s dog – I watched and enjoyed them all from the window seat of dreams that is the best part of this house. The big bed follows in close second – super comfortable with lovely bedding. Open the curtains in the morning and watch the sun come up over…
