A stunningly beautiful location to enjoy Dartmouth. The jaw dropping views of the harbour from the property are reason enough to stay here. The house itself is spacious, comfortable and stylish and in a great central location. Paul the host was responsive, polite and friendly. I’ll be back next year!

We spent an amazing family weekend here. The cottage was clean and comfortable and felt like home immediately. The location was a relatively easy access to Salcombe with only 15-20mins drive. The check in could have been more flexible given the long trip we had to make to get to Devon. Otherwise we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very responsive and we highly recommend this place to anyone.

We loved our stay, and it was the perfect location for coastal walks and ambling into town! Thank you so much for a lovely stay. There were quite a few steps to get to the property, so I would advice anyone who struggles with mobility to review this beforehand. A great get away thank you!

We had a wonderful few days at Cedar House. The design of the house is really beautiful – spacious (we were six adults), quality furnishings and design, and a well equipped kitchen. We’ve stayed at Stoke Fleming many times and always love the walk down to Blackpool Sands or along the coastal path to Dartmouth. Cedar House was the perfect base for a special family holiday. Paul is a really responsive and helpful host…

Really was a home away from home. The host, Paul, was very responsive to our inquiries and any needs we had. We would stay again if in the area.

Great location with beautiful views, easy access to the ferry. The apartment was much bigger than we expected with plenty of space and spotlessly clean.
