Our weekend away in Dartmouth was very much enhanced by the very stylish (and clean!) Dart Loft. The location was perfect for exploring the town and river, and it was relatively straightforward to find somewhere to park while we unloaded the car. We’re already thinking about returning next year!

Thank you so much for some wonderful memories”

The property was perfectly located, exactly as described, and Paul was a very responsive and friendly host. Totnes is wonderful and this is an ideal base camp to explore it from!
