Wonderful stay in Dartmouth – location of the flat is perfect, close enough to everything you need but quieter than the centre. Views are amazing and the property is very well equipped. The main bedroom could do with a bigger bed – it’s a double not a king! But overall a fantastic property and highly recommend

This place is nothing short of amazing! Beautifully clean and very well equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need. Paul was super quick in responding when we had a problem with a blown fuse, so was sorted immediately 😀. The only thing that could make this any better would be a parking permit please. Dartmouth is a perfect place but parking is an absolute nightmare!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. It was well equipped with everything you need. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. The location is peaceful and great for exploring local beaches, making it a good base for days out. Communication throughout the booking process and with any queries about the property was prompt and helpful, which was really appreciated. Overall, we’d happily stay again. Th…

We had an amazing stay at Stargazy . We stayed for three nights and the property was exactly as described and pictured. It’s a stunning location, moments away from Bigbury beach, and the Airbnb was stunning. It had beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The outdoor barbecue space was particularly wonderful as was the living room with its panoramic glass sliding doors facing out to …

Our stay at The River Shack was absolutely magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt ourselves unwind. Sitting beside the tidal waters, watching the boats, swans and paddleboarders drift peacefully past was such a joy, and the ever-changing river made every moment feel special. The River Shack was so welcoming and had everything we needed for a wonderfully relaxing three-day retreat. It was comfortable, thoughtfu…

“We stayed at ‘The Cabin’ for 5 nights & by the end we didn’t want to leave – We wished we had booked the spot up for longer!! The cabin is beautifully nestled amongst the trees so you are surrounded by nature & can hear the constant flow of the nearby river! Amazing place to get away from it all & relax. The weather during our stay was cold & wet, but thanks to the wood burner in the lounge it was so cozy inside! P…

We had a lovely stay at Spyglass and would definitely recommend it. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and very well equipped with great amenities. The views were the real standout, absolutely incredible looking out over the water and something we never got tired of. Everything was well prepared for our stay, with fresh, clean linen and plenty of towels provided, which made things very easy and comfortable. As me…

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…

This is a delightful apartment with stunning views. Very light and airy. Easy walk into the town but in a very quiet location (particularly with the closed road). Very short walks to local swimming spots. I would recommend Warfleet Creek – only 5 minutes walk but was completely quiet even in a heat wave. Dartmouth is full of wonderful eating places and Lower Deck is a brilliant location to try them!
