“The most perfect place to stay in Dartmouth for our group of 5! Beautiful spacious house, all the amenities you could need, comfy beds, beautiful garden and terrace with amazing views. The location is perfect as you have parking but also 5-10 minutes walk into the centre where you have many great pubs and restaurants. We will be back soon I’m sure!”

We had a wonderful stay with YDE staying at the beautiful lodge number 2 on the Dartmouth golf and leisure estate. The lodge was beautifully clean and everything brand new. Location was directly on a wonderful championship golf course and excellent value as well as a spa, pool and gym all on site. We also loved sitting outside on the patio in the evening sun in between dips in the hot tub. Pure luxury!! Woodlands ad…

Great location! Lovely and spacious apartment. The kitchen was a bit cramped with five people at the table. The living room was spacious and comfortable with a lovely view and evening sun. The ferry to Dartmouth is very close and runs very frequently (7am-11pm). We took the Round Robin ferry to Totnes, a lovely trip. Totnes itself was very nice, and we visited the castle. It’s a nice town with lovely shops too. We t…

Beautiful house and views. Stunning location just to relax and watch life on the River Dart, potter around historic Dartmouth or get out onto the coast path. Wonderful Sun trap that made late February feel like early summer! There are quite a few steps down to the property and lack of parking was the only downside. Highly recommend.

Myself and family (4 adults, 2 children) thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night break here over the Christmas period. It was beautifully presented and decorated throughout, especially the coastal Christmas vibe in the living room. The views from the property were outstanding and to be so close to the beach is a real plus. Generous welcome goodies too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others, and hopefully we w…

We had an excellent stay at Lower Heywood in Dartmouth. The apartment was beautifully presented, very well equipped, and maintained to a high standard throughout. The rainfall shower was superb. It provided a comfortable and relaxing base, with everything we needed for an enjoyable holiday. The location was ideal for exploring Dartmouth and the surrounding area, and we particularly appreciated the setting next to th…

“Wonderful little hideaway with everything we needed for a relaxing week away. Beautiful surroundings with a stunning view where I could eat breakfast whilst watching the swallows and go to bed listening to the owls hooting.”
