The location is quite unique and looking onto the sea is very special. Even more special is the close proximity to the sea, so you can go to bed listening to the waves and wake up to them. Gorgeous

The property was perfect for us and our two friends. Beautiful shared space and beautiful harbour views, two good bedrooms – one with stunning views and the other with good en-suite. Location also perfect as walkable to ferry, steam train station and local pubs. (Steepish hill and steps so as described not good for restricted mobility.)

A lovely home with outstanding views across the river from every room. Lovely terraces to sit and dine on and a very well stocked kitchen and with lots of things you don’t always get in an air bnb (salt and pepper, olive oil, sharp knives, dishwasher tablets, washing machine liquid etc) so cooking at home was a pleasure. Comfortable furniture and beds. A short walk to the heart of town and everything it offers. No a…

A secluded, peaceful stay in a spacious cabin in a beautiful wooded location. Cabin was very clean, tidy, well laid out. The outdoor deck is a highlight for sunrise breakfasts.

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 such a lovely stay at Dartmouth Grove Golf Club and honestly didn’t want to leave. Even though the weather was a little gloomy at times, it somehow made the whole experience feel even more cosy and peaceful. We had been dreaming about a quiet getaway like this for a long time, away from the busy city life, and we’re so happy we finally made it happen here. The atmosphere was calm, relaxing, and exactly what w…

The Apartment is ideally located, 2 minutes walk from the shops and river. Parking permit for car park which is only 5 minutes walk away. Apartment is spotlessly clean. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need, with lots of cupboard space to store your own food, which isn’t always the case in rental properties. I stayed here with my daughter – great to each have own bedroom and bathroom. Owner Tracey met us wh…
