A charming comfortable Edwardian house within easy walking distance to Dartmouth and a marvellous view to watch the ‘ Lower Ferry’ working, very relaxing. There is also a garage which is extremely convenient as parking in Dartmouth is very restricted. The house was well equipped, clean & comfortable. In all a delightful place to stay.

Most property in this area looks across the river presenting either a view of Kingswear or Dartmouth. This property is near Dartmouth Castle and looks up river providing a spectacular view of both and from three floors! Ideal for watching the world go by, or as happened on our last night, watch a seal literally climb aboard a rib…couldn’t make it up. The location does mean a 20+ minute walk into town (the road being…

The location was ideal fo…

Dartmouth has been a family favourite for years but after many camping trips to the area we decided to upgrade and book this property. It did not disappoint. The views are incredible, we had everything we needed in the apartment and the location was perfect for walking into town. We would highly recommend and most certainly will be back.

Peaceful spot but easy to visit different and fantastic beaches, Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge and Dartmoor. The Byre had lots of space for our family, was well-equipped, clean, comfortable and homely. We’d very happily stay here again.

A beautiful townhouse in a great location with views out to the Dart estuary, right around to Kingswear and the town. Exceptional. Parking in garage under the property too is a very big bonus.

This apartment was in a great spot very near to all the shops and restaurants, but it was still a quiet street at night. The apartment was pristine and spacious, and had everything you would need, including the parking permit for the nearby car park. We had a great few days.
