We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Solstice. The views are incredible and the house is very clean and comfortable and in a great location. Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Great host, very responsive and informative and great cosy apartment. Well equipped with fantastic standard of furniture, items and utensils. Apartment’s location is great, right in the heart of Dartmouth. Very easy booking and check in. We parked easily outside the flat to collect the park and ride permit and drop off luggage. Park and ride is really easy to locate and the buses are every 10 or so minutes so don’t …

Dartmouth has been a family favourite for years but after many camping trips to the area we decided to upgrade and book this property. It did not disappoint. The views are incredible, we had everything we needed in the apartment and the location was perfect for walking into town. We would highly recommend and most certainly will be back.

My partner and I booked this lodge as a last minute get away as we wanted something remote but with easy access to local towns with pubs and supermarkets nearby for essentials. The location was nothing short of perfect with privacy of the lodge ensuring we had a peaceful time to ourselves. The rear where the hot tub did overlook the golf course, which if you don’t mind the occasional good morning from a golfer passi…

Wow. What a very special place this is. For a start it’s in a brilliant position overlooking the river in lovely Dartmouth. But there’s more to it than that – the house itself has been finished and furnished to a very high standard of both comfort and amenities. Everything worked easily and as you would expect. The layout is stylish and designed to make the most of all the views – and I’m sure the fire and downstair…

The property was perfect for us and our two friends. Beautiful shared space and beautiful harbour views, two good bedrooms – one with stunning views and the other with good en-suite. Location also perfect as walkable to ferry, steam train station and local pubs. (Steepish hill and steps so as described not good for restricted mobility.)

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!

This apartment was in a great spot very near to all the shops and restaurants, but it was still a quiet street at night. The apartment was pristine and spacious, and had everything you would need, including the parking permit for the nearby car park. We had a great few days.

Perfect venue for large family gathering – room choices were great. Immaculate presentation with all mod cons. Amazing views and location. Would advise travelling light as the steps down and up to the house are not for the faint hearted and there is no parking outside the property. All being said – we would definitely come back and stay – lovely!

“Had an absolutely wonderful time here! The place was very clean, cosy and well equipped 🙂 Very easy to get out of the town for walks in the beautiful countryside and a lovely place to come back to after a day of hiking. Can only recommend staying here! Thanks for everything!”
