Very spacious townhouse, extremely well equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and the beds were comfortable with lovely white bedding. Very convenient location above the town in Dartmouth, but it is a fair walk down down the hill and then back up again. The area was quiet and it was great to have parking outside the house. The parking directly in front of the house will only take a small car but then there is a spa…

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The flat was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. It is just a short walk away from the lovely town-centre of Dartmouth, which has so much to offer. The information and instructions are clear and helpful. We would happily return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Solstice. The views are incredible and the house is very clean and comfortable and in a great location. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Perfect if you need a bunk room to crash in the centre of Dartmouth. Ideal for sailors not wanting to stay on board, or for anyone wanting to enjoy the delights of Dartmouth. It is compact, but perfectly functional and perfectly located. Great breakfasts included downstairs at the wonderful Cafe Alfresco.

Fantastic location and a beautiful sea view. Very comfortable beds and easy access to the beach and Start Bay Inn for food and drink. Great place to relax. Parking can be a bit of a juggle to get a free space but they do tend to turn over quickly so wasn’t a problem for us.

We had a really lovely stay here. The place itself was great and had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a brilliant addition — especially in the evenings. It made the whole trip feel extra relaxing. Would definitely recommend!

Most property in this area looks across the river presenting either a view of Kingswear or Dartmouth. This property is near Dartmouth Castle and looks up river providing a spectacular view of both and from three floors! Ideal for watching the world go by, or as happened on our last night, watch a seal literally climb aboard a rib…couldn’t make it up. The location does mean a 20+ minute walk into town (the road being…
