We had a lovely relaxing stay at Tremorvah. The windows let in a lot of light and the views were beautiful. It was great watching the activity on the water. We were very impressed by the apartment, everything was of top quality and spotlessly clean, you couldn’t wish for more. Shops and restaurants were not too far to walk to, with lovely views over the river/estuary. We would love to return sometime in the future. …

Arrived a bit early & cleaners just finishing off so went for a short walk. Place was spotless. Comfy beds and nice bed linen. Bit of miscommunication regarding coffee makers as id read the Nespresso machine was no longer at property, messaged Paul to ask & he said it wasn’t there so I said I’d bring my cafetière. When we arrived there were already 2 at the property. Bit of a walk into town ( especially on way back …

Positives: car park pass/comfortable bed/powerful shower. Suggestions: have a mirror near a power socket/reserve table at breakfast for guests (if guests give time for breakfast ‘slot’ table would be available to the public outside these times – we foolishly went down around 10am and would have faced a 30 min wait to be seated. My suggestion – get down by 7am, Alf Fresco is hugely popular with the public (right…

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 loved our stay at Pear Tree Lodge. The house has a bright open feel, a slightly unique layout on two levels (there are a few stairs to the bedrooms) which I loved, large bright rooms and had everything we needed for our stay. The garden was beautiful, with a stunning view over the fields and down to the estuary. And there was ample room for 2 cars on the drive. Also, we were happy to discover a second bathroom wh…
