The bungalow is lovely and in a great location. Kingsbridge is a great base to stay in for easy access to lots of other towns, villages and beaches.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Tremorvah. The windows let in a lot of light and the views were beautiful. It was great watching the activity on the water.

Shops and restaurants were not too far to walk to, with lovely views over the river/estuary. We would love to return sometime in the future. …

The place was a great space! The kitchen was clean and it was lovely to have a big dining area as well as a comfortable living room to relax in. Our dog loved the garden and you can see the harbour which was a bonus! Three comfy double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to choose from. The street was quiet & plenty of space to park! Only tiny thing to note is that there wasn’t any welcome items like coffee/ milk/ butter or lo…

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!

Fantastic stay here for my parents’ Christmas present. Beautifully kept property, that accommodated us all perfectly. Plenty of space for 7 adults to all live, socialise and enjoy. Couldn’t find a single fault and would recommended very highly. Would happily return again and again, and likely will. Thanks again!
