Second time staying at Trafalgar Cottage, but first time under current owners. The cottage is (still!) stunning with superb views, and this time round parking was much simpler as we managed to get free parking along the embankment (it’s only free until May!). Paul the new owner was great, booking was simple, instructions clear, and he responded quickly to messages. Overall highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely apartment. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully presented, and had a fantastic view — a perfect place to relax and enjoy Dartmouth. The host was excellent, keeping us well informed throughout and making everything easy from start to finish. We know Dartmouth well, so we were prepared for the parking challenges, so it wasn’t an issue for us as we parked out by Dartmouth Castle f…

We loved staying here as it had all the facilities we needed, felt extremely comfortable and had a fantastic garden. We enjoyed having the games room, with table tennis and darts. We would recommend staying here and we will be booking again soon.

A beautiful private house with a lovely garden for dog and children. Surrounded by high hedges you wouldn’t have known there were houses around at all. Many butterflies on the hedge in the back garden and we even had a pheasant arrive on the front lawn one day. Parking for at least 3 cars and a little path to The Village Inn, local shop/Post Office or down to the beach. The house has all you need for a multi-generat…

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivershack! We felt privileged to stay there it is so unique the way it is nestled on the estuary. The views of the estuary were spectacular always something different to see. Great for bird watching ! The place was well equipped, clean, with comfy beds. Communication from Paul was great. I definitely wouldn’t recommend finding it in the dark although once we knew where it was i…

We stayed at the lodge as a family of four in April and had a fantastic experience. The lodge was immaculate, beautifully equipped, and exceptionally comfortable – especially the superking bed. Despite some ongoing resort development, it was peaceful with stunning views over the golf course and hills. We enjoyed the hot tub, patio furniture, and access to the nearby hotel’s pool facilities. The location was ideal fo…

Our third stay and always spotlessly clean and welcoming. It is in a quiet area but still within a short walk to town with the added bonus of a parking permit. Tracey is extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing stay at this lodge! The home was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect – close to everything I needed but still quiet and relaxing. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in and check-out a breeze. I really appreciated that the host kindly allowed me a late check-out when I asked – thank you for that! The little touches like fresh towe…
