We had a lovely week i n Lower Deck. It is a short stroll down into the town and a longer walk in the opposite direction to the castle and round the headland. We loved waking up to the views across the water and we managed the whole week without using our car, taking ferries and buses to visit Totnes, Brixham and Agatha Christie’s house, Greenway. Dartmouth has a lot of independent shops to indulge in and we ate out…

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.

“What a wonderful place to stay! I was extremely lucky to get this booking due to a cancellation of my hotel just hours before. Paul responded straight away with no hassle and just like that I was sorted. The place itself is in an amazing part of Dartmouth with the river and all local restaurants within walking distance. The room was in amazing condition and looked exactly like advertised! I could not recommend this…

Perfect location for easy walking to Totnes shops and restaurants, and also just 15 min walk from train station. The spotless and well organised flat was perfect for our four night break. Paul provided clear instructions and was very flexible.

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful lodge number 2 on the Dartmouth golf and leisure estate at Dartmouth Grove. The lodge was beautifully clean and everything well thought through with a local theme. Location was directly on a wonderful championship golf course and excellent value as well as a spa, pool, tennis court and gym all on site. The gym and pool were free for all guests in the lodge and the spa was 25%…
