A charming comfortable Edwardian house within easy walking distance to Dartmouth and a marvellous view to watch the ‘ Lower Ferry’ working, very relaxing.

Fabulous setting right by the beach. Stargazy was very well equipped. Especially the kitchen. Beds, bathrooms and lounge were excellent. Added bonus was lots of board games to play. Outside bar and bbq area was fun with wonderful views. Even managed a bbq as the weather was very good. Would definitely say again.
