Such a unique place. So cleverly fitted out as a boat that during a storm we believed we were on the high seas! Stunning views, wonderful food at Alf Rescos and the parking permit made things so easy. The position in central Dartmouth couldn’t be better. We are planning to revisit asap and wouldn’t hesitate te recommend the cabin.

The host was very responsive and flexible regarding check-in…

Very nice, larger property. Very peaceful and yet only just off the A381. Great location for exploring Dartmouth, Totnes, Salcombe. Debbie and Richard are friendly hosts.

WOW!! We had such an incredible stay here. The photos don’t even do this property justice, it was so beautiful and felt like we were abroad. The decor is very tasteful and everything was spotless. We walked into Dartmouth town on one evening for dinner, and were within a short drive to Blackpool Sands beach.

Booked this for my mums birthday as a surprise and we all loved it. Couldn’t get more central, gorgeous town with so many shops and restaurants. The property is lovely and modern, clean and tidy with plenty of plates, glasses and utensils and a really sweet little kitchen eco welcome box that included all the kitchen essentials. The only improvement could be some shower gels/shampoo provided in the bathrooms. Also n…
