Great views. Well equipped. Comfy beds. Downside it’s on 4 floors with spiral stairs. Only 1 bedroom en-suite so the others tend to share 1 bathroom not ideal with 8 adults in the house. Water pressure not great. Needs black out curtains as rooms light at 5. Long trek to the kitchen from the road. Very narrow to get to the property. But we did have a good time.

Amazing weekend stay for my mums 60th birthday! The accommodation was exactly as pictured, very clean and came with lots of homely extras that you don’t always get! Instructions and communication all very clear! 5 minute drive down into the beautiful town of Dartmouth, with lovely places to eat or just a general stunning walk around. We added the hot tub and it was just perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. After wet beach walks we enjoyed warming up in front of the log burner watching a film. A really peaceful location and we felt right at home and comfortable straight away. Location was great for exploring neighbouring towns, beaches and amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

A relaxing place to stay a short drive from a selection of beaches. The children were thrilled with the loft room to play in. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in both sunshine and rain.

Really lovely house in a great village. We loved visiting the Green Dragon pub and driving down to Blackpool Sands. The house has a high chair and stair gate so is great for toddlers.

Lovely peaceful location, loved the secure little private courtyard at the front, we could sit leave the door open so the dog could come and go freely, the grassy area a few yards away was also great for the dog to explore. Cottage was clean and tidy and beds were very comfy. Seemed to have everything you need although we didn’t do any cooking during our stay. One thing to be aware of is that one of the roads to acc…

We had a super time in The Apartment, Newcomen Road. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we wanted and more. It is really conveniently located for the town of Dartmouth, including a walk to the castle. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. We are grateful to Tracey for her communication. We hope to return as this apartment is a great find and we frequently visit Dartmouth.

Positives: car park pass/comfortable bed/powerful shower. Suggestions: have a mirror near a power socket/reserve table at breakfast for guests (if guests give time for breakfast ‘slot’ table would be available to the public outside these times – we foolishly went down around 10am and would have faced a 30 min wait to be seated. My suggestion – get down by 7am, Alf Fresco is hugely popular with the public (right…
