A great place to stay if you’re wanting to explore Dartmouth! Only a 10 minute walk down into the centre. Lovely and clean, a great view of Dartmouth on the decking, super spacious bedrooms. Lots of stairs to climb to get inside, although we had a 6 month old baby and 3 year old with us and managed just fine.

We have just returned from a few days away with family and it was the perfect house for a multi generational stay. The house was spotlessly clean and had everything we could need and the welcome pack in the kitchen was so thoughtful and so useful. We also had our two Labradors with us and they loved it too because the garden is totally enclosed and was great to be able to let them run in. Thank you so much for such …

The house was perfect for our family’s needs. The location is wonderful with a lovely local pub and shop. The bus service into Dartmouth was very convenient and meant we didn’t have to worry about parking etc. The house itself is exceptionally well equipped, especially the kitchen, where everything needed to cater for the family is provided. The quality of the furniture is very good especially the beds, which were v…

We had a wonderful stay with YDE staying at the beautiful lodge number 2 on the Dartmouth golf and leisure estate. The lodge was beautifully clean and everything brand new. Location was directly on a wonderful championship golf course and excellent value as well as a spa, pool and gym all on site. We also loved sitting outside on the patio in the evening sun in between dips in the hot tub. Pure luxury!! Woodlands ad…

We had a fantastic holiday staying at Ritson Farm, there was plenty of room for 10 adults, the kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need, the beds were very comfy and it was great having so many bathrooms with so many of us. We really appreciated the extra little touches like the basket of goodies and fresh flowers. Ritson Farm is set in a lovely quiet rural setting and was easy to get to Dartmouth, Sa…

Extremely well maintained and well appointed apartment. We had one small issue with the doors which was rectified very quickly. Loved that there were plenty of mugs, glasses , plates etc as well as cooking equipment. I always think two dishwasher tablets is unnecessarily mean when its quite an expensive holiday but thats a small gripe!

We’ve just returned home to Bristol after the most amazing 3 night stay at the Rivershack with our dog and 5 year old son. What an absolutely fantastic location, literally ON the estuary with insane views. We arrived in the dark (which was our fault!) and wasn’t ideal but once we found our way to the shack it was everything we hoped it would be and more. Firstly the shack was warm, homely and immaculately clean – it…
