We had a lovely stay at The Apartment in Dartmouth. Everything was spotless, kitchen had everything you would need. Great location, everything is within walking distance & great places to eat. Would recommend taking the little boat that takes you to the castle & back. Definitely would stay again as also a great base to visit other places along the south Devon coast.

“Alf’s Rooms are simply fantastic. We stayed in the two B&B rooms and the studio flat. The kids loved the bunk beds. We had a wonderful bedroom. My mum stayed in the studio flat and it has great decor and a cool nautical theme. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. Over Dartmouth, the river and you can see the sea. You pop downstairs for the best breakfast in Dartmouth. Amazing service from all staff.”

What a great place to stay! Made a weekend away with 4 under 6s so much easier. Loved the table tennis and games room not to mention the super garden for football and runaround games. All rooms immaculate and well appointed. The huge living space is such an advantage with all those comfy sofas. All that and only an 8 minute walk to The Village Inn. What’s not to love! We will definitely go back.

Super space to stay to play golf or explore the river Dart. Perfectly placed for easy trip to Dartmouth, Dittisham, Greenways or to the beaches. Would recommend the Sportsman’s Arms around the corner for meals and the Garden Centre Garden Time- not only really knowledgeable but super food (can recommend the breakfast) and service at both.

We had a very enjoyable break at Spindrift. It was clean and comfortable with lots of space for a family of 7. The bungalow was situated in a quiet area and the beach and village were within walking distance. I would definitely recommend the bungalow to friends and family

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.

We’ve just returned from a lovely short break at Dart Loft. It is a very nice apartment very centrally located within easy reach of the lovely shops and numerous restaurants and pubs in Dartmouth. The apartment is very well equipped with very comfortable beds and nice bedding and also hot and powerful showers. A couple of issues, a handrail is needed for the second flight of stairs up to the apartment and also the s…

Great location in Dartmouth with all things to do a short walk away. Lot of pubs and restaurants nearby. There is a lovely view from the apartment and the facilities are good. Very responsive customer service with helpful recommendations for food/local attractions. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a peaceful getaway. Also dog friendly which was a big part of our choice. The complimentary parking permit …

Our weekend away in Dartmouth was very much enhanced by the very stylish (and clean!) Dart Loft. The location was perfect for exploring the town and river, and it was relatively straightforward to find somewhere to park while we unloaded the car. We’re already thinking about returning next year!

We had a lovely time. Everything was as described. It’s a beautiful, quiet location. The roads in the area are quite narrow, so you should allow some extra time for getting around, but it’s really perfect for people who love country life.
