What a fabulous few days we’ve had at Stargazy over Christmas. The location was perfect, off the beaten track, but within reach of pubs/shops etc. The house itself is beautiful with views of the beach and ocean, a wonderful backdrop for Christmas dinner it has to be said. Paul was a fantastic host, always responsive, leaving a bottle of bubbly for our arrival and decorating the lounge with a lovely tree.

This is a delightful apartment with stunning views. Very light and airy. Easy walk into the town but in a very quiet location (particularly with the closed road). Very short walks to local swimming spots. I would recommend Warfleet Creek – only 5 minutes walk but was completely quiet even in a heat wave. Dartmouth is full of wonderful eating places and Lower Deck is a brilliant location to try them!

“What a beautiful home. So well looked after and appointed. Beautifully clean and very pretty. The communication with the owner was superb and we are certainly going to go back again. The are is fabulous and we really appreciated all the tips the owner left in a file for us. So much better than a hotel room.”

We had a lovely two night stay at Paul’s place. The property was plenty big enough for all of us and we had such a great time. The surroundings are beautiful too – and great extras like the BBQ. Thank you Paul!

One of the nicest places we’ve stayed in, great location, no real traffic noise at night and an easy walk to the shops and restaurants. A parking permit for the main car park in Dartmouth was provided by Paul which was much appreciated.

The views from this house are stunning and the property is modern, clean and well equipped. On arrival at the house the garage was unavailable as the floor had been painted. As this is the location of the washer and dryer it was inconvenient not only for lack of off street parking but also the unavailability of laundry facilities. The latter was solved when we decided to walk on the newly painted floor. Parking for …

Great apartment in a lovely location. Lovely walks along the coast. Very dog friendly. Really nice swimming off the beach. Good food and drink at the pub in Torcross as well as the pub and beach cafe in Beesands.

Extremely well maintained and well appointed apartment. We had one small issue with the doors which was rectified very quickly. Loved that there were plenty of mugs, glasses , plates etc as well as cooking equipment. I always think two dishwasher tablets is unnecessarily mean when its quite an expensive holiday but thats a small gripe!
