Really lovely house in a great location. Really well equipped with a lovely homely feel. Would definitely recommend. We love Dartmouth and definitely like staying Kingswear side…the girls love getting the boat over and love the steam packet pub 😂 The house is ideal.

We loved our stay at Pear Tree Lodge. The house has a bright open feel, a slightly unique layout on two levels (there are a few stairs to the bedrooms) which I loved, large bright rooms and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden was beautiful, with a stunning view over the fields and down to the estuary. And there was ample room for 2 cars on the drive. Also, we were happy to discover a second bathroom wh…

Dartmouth park & ride is about 10 min easy drive away making a lovely day out. Loved our stay & hope to retur…

We were lucky to get an opportunity to stay in this amazingly well designed and run place for 4 nights. Our room was compact but uncluttered, and so well designed we didn’t have a problem using the space. The free brunch, available from 7 til 2, was the icing on the cake. Offering the best cooked …

We had an excellent stay at Lower Heywood in Dartmouth. The apartment was beautifully presented, very well equipped, and maintained to a high standard throughout. The rainfall shower was superb. It provided a comfortable and relaxing base, with everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday. The location was ideal for exploring Dartmouth and the surrounding area, and we particularly appreciated the setting next to th…
