We had a great stay and would definitely go back! It’s a lovely, modern house with gorgeous views and is on a farm (so great for kids to see the tractors / cows / pigs in the mornings!). A friendly cat visited us all the time too. It’s so close to the beach at Torcross (and the Start Bay Inn for great fish and chips) and well located for Salcombe / Dartmouth etc. The two bathrooms were really useful. The only things…

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…

We had a wonderful three night stay at the Cartshed. Paul was very responsive and check in details were very well explained. We used what.three.words to easily find the location which I would recommend as the Cartshed is off the beaten track down some small Devon country lanes, although they were easy to navigate and we met minimal traffic. The inside space was beautiful, clean and cosy, we particularly enjoyed brea…

“The most perfect place to stay in Dartmouth for our group of 5! Beautiful spacious house, all the amenities you could need, comfy beds, beautiful garden and terrace with amazing views. The location is perfect as you have parking but also 5-10 minutes walk into the centre where you have many great pubs and restaurants. We will be back soon I’m sure!”

Beautiful, perfect spot, just on the beach. Quiet with amazing views over the beach. Contacted host about turning up hot water and immediately received a lovely message explaining where the switch was. Comfortable and spacious place that has been part of creating new lovely memories ! Thank you

Great apartment in a superb location, everything within walking distance. Well appointed and was spotlessly clean. Excellent communication with the host throughout our stay. Lots of information available for recommendations for eating and visiting. Would highly recommend 5*

We had a lovely stay at here. Beautiful property, spacious and clean. Only thing I would say is the steps up to the property are a mission with a baby/pram however this is to be expected in Dartmouth. Was a bonus to have a parking space right outside the property. Easy walk into Dartmouth and all the lovely restaurants/shops. We loved the showers in this property and all the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We w…
