I highly recommend this place — truly a home away from home. The apartment is beautifully designed and exceptionally clean, with thoughtful attention to every detail. The bedding and pillows offer a luxurious, hotel-like feel, and the kitchen is well-equipped with high-quality utensils and appliances. We especially appreciated the lovely welcome pack, which included tea, coffee, sugar, jam — and even toys for th…

Stunning location. The view is beautiful and so, so peaceful. Friendly cats, ducks, pigs, cows and sheep made this place extra special. Accommodation is clean, modern, comfortable and well equipped. Enjoyed complimentary Prosecco and coffee – thank you! So close to Slapton sands and Blackpool sands which are both beautiful. Approx 30mins to Salcombe which was holding their annual regatta during our visit so had lots…

We had a lovely stay at The Apartment in Dartmouth. Everything was spotless, kitchen had everything you would need. Great location, everything is within walking distance & great places to eat. Would recommend taking the little boat that takes you to the castle & back. Definitely would stay again as also a great base to visit other places along the south Devon coast.

Our second time at Mewstone. New owner has kept the same high standards. Absolutely fantastic location and such a restful view. One piece of advice, if the shared pool is important to you (it wasn’t to us) check it’s available and ready. That said this is a high quality property and we love it. Two parking spaces and no more than a couple of minutes walk into Dartmouth town centre what’s not to love.

We had a wonderful three night stay at the Cartshed. Paul was very responsive and check in details were very well explained. We used what.three.words to easily find the location which I would recommend as the Cartshed is off the beaten track down some small Devon country lanes, although they were easy to navigate and we met minimal traffic. The inside space was beautiful, clean and cosy, we particularly enjoyed brea…

Easy to find great location for exploring Brixham, short walk into town and harbour as well as well as exploring Berry hill and coastal walks. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay, great place.

“Alf’s Rooms are simply fantastic. We stayed in the two B&B rooms and the studio flat. The kids loved the bunk beds. We had a wonderful bedroom. My mum stayed in the studio flat and it has great decor and a cool nautical theme. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. Over Dartmouth, the river and you can see the sea. You pop downstairs for the best breakfast in Dartmouth. Amazing service from all staff.”
