We had a really lovely stay at Galions quay. The house is beautiful and immaculately appointed. Its location is perfect for being close to Dartmouth town but also just removed enough to be quiet. We especially loved being near to Dartmouth castle and the coves for swimming. The house itself has everything we needed and Paul was a great host. We’d stay there again without question.

We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was perfect for a long weekend in Devon. Literally 8 min drive outside of Dartmouth. The kids particularly loved the hot tub after spending the day out exploring. Thank you so much for having us!

“Wonderful location with beautiful views of the estuary. Spotless presentation, well equipped and comfortable property. We arrived by train as public car parking arrangements would be inconvenient.”

“Situated on the beach it was great to be able to pop back to the cottage – ideal when you have 2 kids and a dog! Local farm shop was fab for groceries and the Start Bay Inn was reliable for some nice evening food and drinks. Torcross is a beautiful place and the cottage allowed for an enjoyable and peaceful break”.

“We had a lovely break at the cabin. Spotlessly clean on arrival and milk left in the fridge. Great base from which to explore the area and visit Salcombe and Dartmouth. Will definitely return”.

We had a lovely stay, the apartment has been beautifully renovated & looked just like the pictures. We had great weather so could make use of the balcony. We were able to walk down to the harbour area avoiding the main road, and caught a bus back to save a walk up the hill in the heat. Any pub or restaurant visits require going down to the harbour as this is in a residential area, but the location is very quiet and …

Our stay was a perfect base for a family holiday. The nearness of the beach a definite asset especially when you have a 3 year old with you! You could easily pop back if something had been forgotten. Despite the time of year we had glorious weather; it seems to have it’s own micro climate which left us mostly sunny and dry whilst most other places had rain? This enabled the extended family to gather for evening meal…

The Apartment is immaculate, nothing is left to chance. It’s also close to all the amenities which is handy for restaurants and pubs. The parking permit is a necessity as parking can be a Dartmouth problem”.

I spent the weekend with friends at a modern luxury property in Dartmouth, set right on the river within a striking new building, and it was nothing short of outstanding. From the moment we arrived, the quality and attention to detail were evident. The architecture is contemporary yet beautifully in keeping with Dartmouth’s coastal elegance, with large glass panels framing uninterrupted views across the river. Watc…

Very nice, larger property. Very peaceful and yet only just off the A381. Great location for exploring Dartmouth, Totnes, Salcombe. Debbie and Richard are friendly hosts.
