Heywood was a lovely, comfortable and homely place to stay. Ideally situated in the center of Dartmouth so everything was easily accessible. The parking permit for the local car park was extremely useful. Comfortable bed, good shower and a nice homely environment. We shall be back.

Lovely place and very well located. Comfortable and really well looked after. Will book again when we head back. Lovely property! Been coming down to Strete and Dartmouth for about 25 years or so, and it was by far the nicest spot we’ve stayed in!

We have just returned from a 4 night break at Cedar House and absolutely loved it. The house was absolutely spotless and had every single thing you could wish for. It was lovely and cozy and really spacious and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

We had a great couple of days here. I stupidly left my suitcase and Paul very helpfully let me know. Lots of info and it is such a stunning location. Weather wasn’t great but when you have beaches and views like that it really doesn’t matter. Beds comfy, everything lovely and clean. Would definitely come back again. Thank you

We had the best week at this place and absolutely loved Dartmouth. It was spacious, comfortable, clean, well equipped and has a phenomenal outdoor space with a phenomenal view! Reaching the place by car and sorting out parking was a bit difficult as we had to move our car around each day in order to avoid getting a ticket, but once you’ve worked it out it’s all good. The place itself is perfect and Paul was a helpfu…

“This is a gem, right in the centre of Dartmouth. Everything from start to finish was marvellous. Breakfast at Alfs was super good. This is a truly unique place. Next booking we hope to go for the Captains apartment at top of house. We highly recommend King Alf’s.”
