We had a great stay at the property which was ideal for our family and would happily return there. The location was brilliant for walking into town with excellent crabbing for the children to enjoy! The parking space was a huge bonus and as we were out of season and took a second car, free on road parking was easily accessible near by. So much to do in and around Dartmouth for all ages to have fun!

We had a fantastic stay and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The property was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It felt like a home away from home from the moment we arrived. Communication with the host was excellent throughout—helpful, and quick to respond, which made everything smooth and stress-free. It’s i…

Such a lovely and spacious place! We didn’t get the chance to use the terrace and BBQ as the October weather was a bit unpredictable, but we can imagine how beautiful it would be to wake up to the sunrise over the estuary. The home was well-equipped and spacious, with a touch of luxury throughout. It’s close to town and surrounded by beautiful walks. Parking can be a little tricky, but we were lucky to find a spot n…

Fabulous apartment in a great location. So much to do in and around Dartmouth with some lovely pubs just a short walk away.

The accommodation was lovely, very clean, bigger than the photos suggest. The views are idillic. Tyhe beds were comfortable. The patio is a bonus, exp in Dartmouth which often doesn’t have outside space. Don’t be put off by the lack of allocated parking. With a little management of what is available publicly , we were able to park easily even in late June. We will definitely book again.

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!

Perfect location with great view over the river. Comfortable sofas and beds. Easy reach of South Coast path, ferry, station, pubs and local shop. Sunny, quieter side of the river, but very easy to get to Dartmouth. Ideal for steam enthusiasts! Beautiful walks, great sea swimming at Sugary Cove. Lovely boat ride up the Dart river. Only small issue was a smell from the drains in family bathroom but disappeared after a…

We had a lovely holiday here. Perfect location. Beautiful views across the river – loved watching the ferry go back and forth! The house is a very short walk into the centre of Dartmouth to access all the shops and amenities. There is a fabulous pub right next door which was welcoming and a lovely spot for food and drink. The house accomodated 6 of us comfortably and had everything we needed. Would recommend this pr…

Absolutely loved this place and don’t think the pictures do it justice. Beautiful cottage with amazing fireplace and period features. It was perfect for a winter break, a really cosy and peaceful place, but also imagine it would make a wonderful spring/summer break with the orchard and bbq areas. It is down narrow lanes, but this is for me added to the character and sense of peace and remoteness. Also, Paul was real…
