Lovely, clean home with very comfortable beds. It’s located on a steep hill, but it offers beautiful views and is just a short, easy walk to the marina. We loved being so close to Dartmouth’s great boutique shops, cafes, and ice cream spots. Perfect for a family stay!

We had a lovely stay in Dartmouth. A beautiful house in the perfect location to walk into town or for a swim at Sugary Cove. A quick bus ride to Blackpool Sands beach too! Paul was a responsive host who quickly answered any of our queries.

We loved our stay at Pear Tree Lodge. The house has a bright open feel, a slightly unique layout on two levels (there are a few stairs to the bedrooms) which I loved, large bright rooms and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden was beautiful, with a stunning view over the fields and down to the estuary. And there was ample room for 2 cars on the drive. Also, we were happy to discover a second bathroom wh…

We had a wonderful stay in this amazing home with the most beautiful surroundings overlooking the water and the steam train and is within walking distance of the shops. The house more than met expectations. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything needed. WiFi is installed and there are also a lot of games to entertain yourself with. It has our highest recommendations. We’d love to come back another day.
