“Fabulous little ‘find’ in the heart of Dartmouth above a wonderful cafe serving incredible breakfasts! The room was clean & functional with seaside memorabilia, paintings & a comfy king size bed & the coffee & tea making facilities were a pleasing extra! The bathroom was like a tardis with a huge shower & served its purpose for our stay!”

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.

“Wells Park Barn is a beautifully appointed and thoughtfully equipped home-from-home, offering delightful open-plan living and four spacious bedrooms. We really felt comfortable for our two-week stay and enjoyed the comfortable beds, sumptuous bathrooms, lovely garden and relaxing lounge area. Lots of thoughtful extras were appreciated such as hadsoaps, washing up liquid, books, games and DVDs, as well as outdoor an…

Booked for a long family weekend (3 adult couples) and had a fabulous stay. The property is the perfect balance between a 10-15 minute walk into central Dartmouth and a nice, quiet location with spectacular riverside views towards Dartmouth harbour. Furnished to an exceptionally high standard. Paul’s communication and responsiveness, before and during our stay was flawless. Would 100% recommend!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay in The Cabin! Super peaceful, spacious, and full of hospitable touches which made us feel right at home. Clear, and prompt, communication was appreciated, and the surroundings were just so gorgeous with Autumn colours! We thoroughly recommend staying here (but don’t tell anyone! ;))

We had a wonderful few days here. It was very clean & well equipped & and easy walk into the centre of Dartmouth. The car parking space was an added bonus. Recommend 100% although the steep steps would be a challenge for v young children or those with mobility issues but that is explained in the listing. Would definitely book again if return to beautiful Dartmouth.

A fabulous flat in the perfect location. Everything was in walking distance. The car park we parked in was a 5 min walk max, we used the flat’s parking permit for the whole weekend. The flat was very clean and had everything we needed. Even an umbrella, which we used ! The bed was very comfortable too. Definitely a flat we would stay in again. We met Tracey the owner and she was a mind of helpful information on plac…
