“Absolutely amazing place – such a unique and beautiful place to stay. The Captain’s Cabin exceeded our expectations. The bonus was being able to go downstairs into Alf-Rescos cafe and have wonderful breakfasts from 7am – which meant we could set off early on our walks. I’d really recommend this place. It’s fabulous. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. A five star review from us and we can’t wait to go ba…

A small but perfect room for a weekend at the music festival. Right in the heart of town, great location. Every detail in the room had been considered and very comfortable beds. Breakfast downstairs is a treat and the hosts are delightful, a great find thank you

Spectacular waterside view. Unique. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. We had a really wonderful time. I would recommend taking some of your own logs, there was only enough for 1 short fire for a 2 night stay.

A spacious, clean house in a great location. The garden is lovely too and a sun trap. It is very peaceful despite a close location to town. You can walk from the house to the harbour very quickly. Comfortable beds. A great stay.

Stunning property. Super warm. Hot tub very well maintained with daily checks. Lovely views. Small construction site nearby wasn’t a problem at all. Very responsive host. Great facilities but make sure you book spa well in advance!

“Wonderfully located and a stunning view from both the house and the upper terrace area. Certainly enough to do around the house alone. Looking for a stroll, the beach is a minute walk away. Great island to venture to House was very clean and well described to the booking”.

We had such a beautiful stay in Dartmouth. You felt at home the moment you walked in and the house has been beautifully decorated. The outdoor area is perfect for having dinner and watching the boats come and go. You are right in the heart of town and have everything you need on your doorstep. It is quite a tight lane for cars to get to the house and then parking is about a five/ten minute walk from the house, you c…
