Our family of five had an amazing stay here. It’s a great location on the outskirts of Dartmouth and has access to some excellent beaches we made use of the Golf facilities which were also fantastic.

This is a really nicely appointed flat with lovely bathrooms in a good location. A bonus was the proximity of the bus stop so we could get a bus to and from Dartmouth (and elsewhere if we’d wanted) without having to worry about parking. We had poor weather but had it been sunny the two balconies would have been delightful. An extremely pleasant stay.

Another wonderful stay at Spindrift. The house is light and airy, equipped with everything you could possibly need for a week. The living area is spacious and comfortable. Bedrooms are bright with beautiful bathrooms. Our dogs love the garden which wraps around and is completely secure. The weather was gorgeous and so the bbq came in very handy. Paul was very friendly and helpful in his communication. Hopefully we w…

It’s a gorgeous and well equipped property, with everything you need for your stay. It was immaculately clean with quality bedding and towels. Location is phenomenal (only tiny downside is tight driveway it’s easy to miss, but that’s more user error than a property fault). We will definitely return to Wells Park Barn. For those traveling with small children, be aware the stairs are steep, but there is a gate at the …

We had a lovely stay in this home. It was clean, the beds comfortable and had great space for us to chill. We enjoyed the garden in the hot weather. Close to great beaches and easy access into Dartmouth.

The property was located close to the harbor where there were many restaurants cafes and bars, shingle beach 10 min from harbour, torquay just a 30 min ferry trip, Dartmouth 5 mile away. Really enjoyed our stay.”

We had a lovely three-night stay in this flat in Dartmouth. The location was excellent and made it really easy to get out and explore the town and surrounding area. The flat was spotlessly clean, comfortable and had everything we could have wanted for our stay. It was clear that a lot of thought had gone into making it a welcoming and well-equipped place to stay. We stayed as a family of three, with our 13-year-old,…

We had the best week at this place and absolutely loved Dartmouth. It was spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped and has a phenomenal outdoor space with a phenomenal view! Reaching the place by car and sorting out parking was a bit difficult as we had to move our car around each day in order to avoid getting a ticket, but once you’ve worked it out it’s all good. The place itself is perfect and Paul was a helpfu…
