We had a very enjoyable break at Spindrift. It was clean and comfortable with lots of space for a family of 7. The bungalow was situated in a quiet area and the beach and village were within walking distance. I would definitely recommend the bungalow to friends and family

“This is a characterful, quaint studio apartment, at the very top of a house right in the heart of Dartmouth, above a bustling and delicious café. The views across the estuary are unrivalled. The furnishings are characterful, the kitchen basic but does the job for a simple meal and ideal for a sunset drink and nibbles on the little balcony which is in the best possible place”.

This is an absolutely fabulous an very spacious apartment! Extremely well equipped for cooking. Really big beautiful master bedroom and bathroom and a good twin with own bathroom. So close to lovely coves, the castle, beaches. Dartmouth is fantastic for families. We loved the little ferries and boat trip to the castle plus the steam train. Also great walks round the cliffs and coves.

“We stayed in the Cabin for a few nights, and it was perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer but will definitely be returning. Everything was clean and cozy, with fresh linens, breathtaking views, and a warm atmosphere that felt like home. Its central location made it easy to enjoy great coffee and fantastic breakfast just downstairs, plus we could walk to incredible restaurants. My partner loved exploring the …

The property was located close to the harbor where there were many restaurants cafes and bars, shingle beach 10 min from harbour, torquay just a 30 min ferry trip, Dartmouth 5 mile away. Really enjoyed our stay.”

We absolutely LOVED this gem of a place. Tucked away right on the river estuary, we had an absolutely charming weekend away with the kids and the dog. The place is very easy to fall in love with – quirky and cosy, with the best location we’ve ever had from an Airbnb. The neighbours are very friendly and the pub is great. We are so glad we took a little boat with us, we explored up and down the river (there’s a small…
