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.

The ferry for Dartmouth is a few minutes walk away, as are two lovely pubs! Walk to The Ship inn for a sing along to some sea shanties on a Thursday evening. You need to bring soap and toiletries for the bathrooms. The …

A lovely property in a perfect location, just a stone’s throw from local amenities. The views from the lounge and the roof top balcony truly were amazing and a real highlight of our holiday. Paul was extremely helpful whenever I needed to contact him.

“Fabulous little ‘find’ in the heart of Dartmouth above a wonderful cafe serving incredible breakfasts! The room was clean & functional with seaside memorabilia, paintings & a comfy king size bed & the coffee & tea making facilities were a pleasing extra! The bathroom was like a tardis with a huge shower & served its purpose for our stay!”

We had a lovely time, and the photographs do not do the garden any justice. A beautiful space to spend time away relaxing. We’d love to return.
