Booked for a long family weekend (3 adult couples) and had a fabulous stay. The property is the perfect balance between a 10-15 minute walk into central Dartmouth and a nice, quiet location with spectacular riverside views towards Dartmouth harbour. Furnished to an exceptionally high standard. Paul’s communication and responsiveness, before and during our stay was flawless. Would 100% recommend!

“What a fantastic find! If you’re looking for a beach house with tremendous access and convenience, you really can’t do better. We absolutely loved our stay and are already talking about when we can return. The upper terrace on the garden was wonderful and private and the children adored playing mixologists in the bar. The beach was completely perfect and between the offerings of Burgh Island and the beach cafe, we …

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 had a lovely stay in Dartmouth, the location is absolutely amazing we could walk in seconds to the lower ferry and the best part of town. No view parking or garden but that’s the compromise.
