This was my second stay and a first for some family members we brought along with us. Yet again, everyone was delighted with the property and its location and we would all loved to have stayed for longer! Paul responds in great time to any messages and is super helpful. We would absolutely stay again.

“Alf’s Rooms are simply fantastic. We stayed in the two B&B rooms and the studio flat. The kids loved the bunk beds. We had a wonderful bedroom. My mum stayed in the studio flat and it has great decor and a cool nautical theme. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. Over Dartmouth, the river and you can see the sea. You pop downstairs for the best breakfast in Dartmouth. Amazing service from all staff.”

“We’ve had the most wonderful week at Stargazy: refreshing early morning swims, surfing/boarding, coastal walks, enjoying amazing views from the deck, terrace and bbq and re-visiting our favourite foodie places! Super-comfortable beds – Paul kindly sorted non-feather bedding to allow for family allergies. Great showers and a well equipped kitchen. A generous welcome pack on arrival was a lovely surprise and the terr…

We had a wonderful few days here. It was very clean & well equipped & and easy walk into the centre of Dartmouth. The car parking space was an added bonus. Recommend 100% although the steep steps would be a challenge for v young children or those with mobility issues but that is explained in the listing. Would definitely book again if return to beautiful Dartmouth.

Paul’s place was just stunning. The house was beautifully presented and designed. The location was great and I would go back in a second, I wish we could have stayed longer.
