This is a super location for accessing Dartmouth town centre and the view from the roof terrace is amazing! The house has everything you need and is very well equipped. It makes for a very comfortable and relaxing stay. Looking forward to our next visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. After wet beach walks we enjoyed warming up in front of the log burner watching a film. A really peaceful location and we felt right at home and comfortable straight away. Location was great for exploring neighbouring towns, beaches and amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

We returned home last week after a lovely stay. The house was everything we needed it to be as a base for our holiday. Lovely outside space that we enjoyed eating our meals at because we were lucky with the weather. Dartmouth is beautiful, the house is right at the top of the hill from the main harbour and things so is a bit of a walk all uphill on the way back. However we found it easy to park in dartmouth main car…

The property is spotlessly clean and will decorated, with everything you need for a great stay away from home, including smart TV and radio for quiet nights in. It’s ideally situated just a short stroll from the high street with lots of shops including an excellent butchers, cafes, pubs, etc. There’s also a supermarket only 5 minutes walk away. I would highly recommend this property, and I’m already planning on retu…

We loved the house…fabulous place with fantastic views, it had everything we could have wanted. So comfortable and cosy just a short hop from everything in Dartmouth and a few steps from Lower Ferry. We will be back !

We stayed at Trafalgar Cottage for the weekend in August. The house is furnished to a very high standard, extremely tastefully decorated, but what elevates it are the amazing views from literally every room and the gorgeous terrace where we say for hours just watching the boats and the world go by. If you are considering staying here as two couples or a family, don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed.

Great communications from the owner and really timely info about check in. The flat felt bigger than the pictures showed and was really very well decorated. The bed in master room was thankfully a King size and very comfortable, the single beds were also ample. The “No Parking” was not an issue because you are just a 5 min walk from Dartmouth centre and the park and ride is easily excess able. The views were just de…

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…
