“In a great position for walking to all the shops, restaurants and many lovely coffee shops. Being able to get delicious coffee from 2 minutes around the corner was a real bonus and there is a pub almost next door. It’s also only a 10 minute walk to a lovely cafe near the quayside car park that had really friendly staff, a great cappuccino and outside seating with lovely views along the river. The flat was spotlessl…

We stayed in this lodge as 6 adults, it was a lovely, clean space, well decorated with gorgeous views. On the doorstep of a golf facility and spa, which we made use of and only a short journey into Dartmouth.

Incredible views. Steps to the beach are a stones throw away, it was the perfect location for our beach and sea loving family. We will be back without the kids next time!

Fantastic house and location. All the beds were especially comfortable which is really important when you’re away from home. Having parking was a godsend. Brilliant location, only used the car once and used public transport a lot. Can’t recommend Dartmouth highly enough. One small negative was the lack of a nonstick frying pan, which would have made the experience even better than it was.

The property is located in an extremely beautiful and peaceful area, surrounded by nature in every direction, creating a truly relaxing and calming atmosphere. The house was clean, well prepared for guests, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

This place is a beautiful bijou cottage situated just off the high street, so extremely close to all of central Totnes’ shops and cafes. It was really clean and beautifully decorated, and remarkably quiet given the centrality. We’d have loved some very basic toiletries – soap and shampoo perhaps, which we enquired about once there but didn’t get a reply for – but otherwise felt very well provided for. Holidaymakers …

A great place to stay if you’re wanting to explore Dartmouth! Only a 10 minute walk down into the centre. Lovely and clean, a great view of Dartmouth on the decking, super spacious bedrooms. Lots of stairs to climb to get inside, although we had a 6 month old baby and 3 year old with us and managed just fine.

This place is just like a home from home. The garden is outstanding with beautiful views. Kingsbridge quayside is within easy walking distance all down hill. Easy bit of an incline back.
