“The most perfect place to stay in Dartmouth for our group of 5! Beautiful spacious house, all the amenities you could need, comfy beds, beautiful garden and terrace with amazing views. The location is perfect as you have parking but also 5-10 minutes walk into the centre where you have many great pubs and restaurants. We will be back soon I’m sure!”

Was a great house for a family get together .Including small children . Lots of different spaces but not too big . Very well appointed with everything we needed . Lovely location . Quiet and rural but near enough to a good road to get places . Various members of the party went running and we all walked to the pub in Halwell . I can’t think of any thing negative.

We had a lovely stay and couldn’t fault the accommodation. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and exactly as described. It felt welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, peaceful and relaxing, yet convenient for getting out and about. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen well-equipped. Our host was friendly, responsive, and made everything very easy from…

We had a lovely time, and the photographs do not do the garden any justice. A beautiful space to spend time away relaxing. We’d love to return.

If you want a truly special experience, book this house. From the moment you enter, you’re met with the most spectacular views of Dartmouth and the river. The interior is beautifully designed and of very high quality – it’s also really comfortable and welcoming. It’s a short walk to the castle ferry which takes you by boat into Dartmouth. Paul was great at responding to any questions we had and we would definitely b…

Excellent place to stay right in the heart of Dartmouth. Easy access to all the town centre has to offer without the usual climb up a big hill. Clean and tidy, great for couple with the bath and good shower with plenty of storage. Bed was comfy. Would recommend to others.

Great house for a weekend break, the location means you have parking. Beds were very comfy and great to have a garden in Dartmouth

We enjoyed our stay at Solstice, which was well equipped. The first-floor open plan kitchen and lounge area, with great views over the River Dart, certainly lived up to the listing. Be aware that the stairs up to the otherwise excellent top bedroom are not for the faint-hearted. There was a noticeable smell from the drains when we arrived, which improved after running the bath/shower taps, though it would have been …

“This is a gem, right in the centre of Dartmouth. Everything from start to finish was marvellous. Breakfast at Alfs was super good. This is a truly unique place. Next booking we hope to go for the Captains apartment at top of house. We highly recommend King Alf’s.”
