We had a wonderful stay at Cedar house! The accommodation was clean, tidy with thoughtful extras. We loved the building itself there was lots of character with all the oak beams and the unique layout. Wonderful location too being so close to beautiful Dartmouth which was foodie heaven and the lovely hidden gem- Blackrock Sands! Very enjoyable and relaxing stay, thank you 🤩

Amazing house, perfect for our family trip. Access to the property is through a very narrow walled drive way which would not be suitable for all cars so bear this in mind. Great location just a short drive or bus trip to Dartmouth. 20 minute walk to Blackpool Sands beach or via the bus which is very quick. Well equipped kitchen with plenty of fridge/freezer space.

This place is incredible. Don’t be put off by the location and the country lanes. It is well worth it. It was by far the most peaceful and relaxing place I’ve ever stayed, and is so well decorated and furnished. Lovely touches including a bottle of wine on arrival! The location is really not that difficult especially once you’ve done it the first time. If are you from the UK like ourselves and are used to country la…

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…

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 had an absolutely wonderful stay! Every bedroom had the most incredible views of the water, and we loved sitting out on the deck enjoying our breakfast and taking in the scenery. The house is beautifully furnished, with lovely artwork and so many thoughtful touches throughout. It was such a special place to stay, and we would absolutely love to come back again!

Very clean apartment right in the town center. 2 bathrooms, which is always convenient for a family with teenagers. It seems there was a change of parking regulations, so we had to park our car in the Park & Ride up the hill, and then take the free shuttle down to the coast. This worked absolutely fine for us, as once you are there, you are “downtown”. Location is quiet considering its central location, but be aware…

“We have stayed in many holiday homes and this is definitely one of the best. The cabin is beautifully decorated with so much attention to detail. It was warm and cosy for our Easter break and I can imagine that in the summertime with full use of the deck and meadow above it will be gorgeous. Comfortable beds, spotlessly clean, well stocked kitchen, spacious and homely in a beautiful location. I wholeheartedly recom…
