Incredible house with the most amazing views! We stayed for 5 days for my Mum’s 70th birthday – 6 adults and 4 kids. We had such a lovely time, staying in the house and exploring Dartmouth. The house is very well equipped. We would highly recommend and would love to stay again!

Cider House is a beautiful and very clean house. Few meters away from it is a small green area with a few benches, trees and grass. Also there is pleace for barbecue. Front garden was secure for my dog witch was a bonus. Great communication with Poul and localization just few minutes by car to the beautiful beaches of Devon! We had a great stay!

We loved the Boathouse and will definitely be returning! Beautiful location, the sea on the doorstep and lovely accommodation. Wished we could have stayed for longer, the pubs/restaurants are within walking distance and the food was amazing!

Our stay at Lower Deck was amazing, the apartment was spacious, clean and had everything you need. A special mention must go to ‘ the trolley ‘ which made getting your luggage to and from the apartment very easy, such a great idea. one could spend the whole holiday in the apartment just looking at the view as it is so spectacular but Dartmouth has much to offer and the walk into town is quick and easy. we ate at ‘th…
