Stayed for a month and had a really great experience. Everything is walkable from the place and the apartment is super cozy. Totally recommend!

Fantastic location and a beautiful sea view. Very comfortable beds and easy access to the beach and Start Bay Inn for food and drink. Great place to relax. Parking can be a bit of a juggle to get a free space but they do tend to turn over quickly so wasn’t a problem for us.

Our stay in this Dartmouth property was absolutely amazing. The views were stunning, the people were great, the town had plenty to do and lots of history, the weather was perfect, etc. I couldn’t have asked for more. Paul was extremely helpful throughout and he was always there to help instantly whenever I needed it. I couldn’t recommend this stay more. You’ll have a great time!

“This is a gem, right in the centre of Dartmouth. Everything from start to finish was marvellous. Breakfast at Alfs was super good. This is a truly unique place. Next booking we hope to go for the Captains apartment at top of house. We highly recommend King Alf’s.”

We had a lovely break in Kingswear, visiting local National Trust venues, a river trip on the Dart and meals out. The apartment was very spacious. The sitting room was light with comfortable seating and a magnificent view over the dart. The kitchen provided everything we needed and was well stocked with crockery and an excellent Nespresso coffee machine. The table was adequate for four people. The beds and pillows w…

This place was beautiful with a lovely kitchen and living area. We loved sitting outside in the garden and enjoying the sunshine in the garden. The recommendedations for local restaurants and places to visit were really helpful
