Beautiful large property that suited all ages. Stunning garden and outdoor areas. Could do with a few tea bags for arrival and some slightly better directions to arrive. Would definitely book again.

A lovely little find in South Devon! We had a really relaxing stay at the flat, it’s perfectly located right in the centre of town, yet still peaceful and quiet. There are plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby, and it’s just a short walk to the ferries. Would definitely recommend!

We’ve just returned from a lovely short break at Dart Loft. It is a very nice apartment very centrally located within easy reach of the lovely shops and numerous restaurants and pubs in Dartmouth. The apartment is very well equipped with very comfortable beds and nice bedding and also hot and powerful showers. A couple of issues, a handrail is needed for the second flight of stairs up to the apartment and also the s…

Positives: car park pass/comfortable bed/powerful shower. Suggestions: have a mirror near a power socket/reserve table at breakfast for guests (if guests give time for breakfast ‘slot’ table would be available to the public outside these times – we foolishly went down around 10am and would have faced a 30 min wait to be seated. My suggestion – get down by 7am, Alf Fresco is hugely popular with the public (right…

“Fabulous little ‘find’ in the heart of Dartmouth above a wonderful cafe serving incredible breakfasts! The room was clean & functional with seaside memorabilia, paintings & a comfy king size bed & the coffee & tea making facilities were a pleasing extra! The bathroom was like a tardis with a huge shower & served its purpose for our stay!”

“Great house with great location; there was just 5 minutes to city centre. Paul was very welcoming and we were greeted with a nice welcoming pack. Some board games were available in the living room as well which had a beautiful view. Beds were also very clean and comfortable. Thank you.”

A lovely, cosy little house, a short walk into the town. We really enjoyed our time at this house. It has everything you need, well equipped kitchen, a lovely wood burner, 2 tvs with Netflix etc, comfy beds, and ideal for a family as well as our Labrador. Paul was super accommodating and answered any questions I had. We even added an extra night as were having so much fun we didn’t want to go home! Dartmouth is a re…
