We had a lovely stay in this home. It was clean, the beds comfortable and had great space for us to chill. We enjoyed the garden in the hot weather. Close to great beaches and easy access into Dartmouth.

Fabulous location with wonderful views. Very warm and cozy. Beautifully decorated and comfortable beds and pillows. Home from home! Plenty of space for seven of us and a toddler celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday. We didn’t use the upper decking area because of the time of year but it was amazing! Also loved the front deck. Great for taking in the sea view! Beach access superb. Paul very amenable. Thank you

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 loved our stay in this quirky apartment with a nautical theme, full of character and fantastic views of the Dart estuary. Paul and his team were very attentive and helpful. It was the perfect stress free holiday we had hoped for.

We had a wonderful stay at the beautiful lodge number 2 on the Dartmouth golf and leisure estate at Dartmouth Grove.

The gym and pool were free for all guests in the lodge and the spa was 25%…

“Al Fresco’s cafe and bnb rooms are obviously legendary in Dartmouth, sitting right in the heart of the waterfront area. We were lucky to get an opportunity to stay in this amazingly well designed and run place for 4 nights. Our room was compact but uncluttered, and so well designed we didn’t have a problem using the space. The free brunch, available from 7 til 2, was the icing on the cake. Offering the best cooked …

Wow. What a very special place this is. For a start it’s in a brilliant position overlooking the river in lovely Dartmouth. But there’s more to it than that – the house itself has been finished and furnished to a very high standard of both comfort and amenities. Everything worked easily and as you would expect. The layout is stylish and designed to make the most of all the views – and I’m sure the fire and downstair…

Amazing 5 nights stay at this beautifully furnished new property. Incredible location with panoramic views of the river and harbour. 20 mins walk to the town – a bit far for some people maybe but we wanted a quieter spot. Clean and comfortable bedrooms, modern kitchen with top of the line appliances, complementary coffee was a nice touch, good quality linen and toiletries. Great secure parking space. Paul was friend…
