We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this lodge and would highly recommend it to anyone. The place is beautifully decorated, very clean, and extremely well equipped — it had everything we needed and more. You can really see the attention to detail, which made our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. The kitchen was fully equipped, everything worked perfectly, and the whole lodge felt modern and well maintained. Th…

Lovely, clean home with very comfortable beds. It’s located on a steep hill, but it offers beautiful views and is just a short, easy walk to the marina. We loved being so close to Dartmouth’s great boutique shops, cafes, and ice cream spots. Perfect for a family stay!

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.

This was my second stay and a first for some family members we brought along with us. Yet again, everyone was delighted with the property and its location and we would all loved to have stayed for longer! Paul responds in great time to any messages and is super helpful. We would absolutely stay again.

We had a great stay during the hot British summer. Easy check in via a lockbox and the place was as pictured, super clean and smart and very comfortable. Lovely decking area with outdoor sofas to enjoy the sun, comfy lounge area, well-stocked kitchen (the microwave is tucked away in the single bedroom cupboard if you need it), good shower pressure, comfy beds. The cabins are in a very remote area down some very narr…

Pear Tree Lodge was so homely, with a stunning garden, peaceful and with comfy beds. It’s in a quiet location but very walkable and close to the estuary and Kingsbridge. The South Hams are stunning 🏝️ A little gem of a place. 💎

A beautiful 3 night stay in Dartmouth. Lower Heywood was everything we could have asked for: Very local to restaurants and shops and the quayside. A peaceful and relaxing stay.

“We had a brilliant stay at the boathouse, the location is incredible and the views breathtaking! We knew the area and so it was the perfect base for us for both relaxing at Torcross with friends or on Slapton Sounds, or exploring nearby Dartmouth or Blackpool sounds. I found the property more spacious than I was expecting and so plenty of room for 4 of you, we did find it a little challenging with our youngest daug…

We had the best time staying here, perfectly located close to the hotel where I celebrated my 50th birthday. It was much bigger than we expected too. Thank you
