A small but perfect room for a weekend at the music festival. Right in the heart of town, great location. Every detail in the room had been considered and very comfortable beds. Breakfast downstairs is a treat and the hosts are delightful, a great find thank you

We had a lovely stay here as a group of friends – the views from the back of the property are absolutely stunning. The place was very clean and tidy which we appreciated and the welcome guide was helpful. We did feel that for the price paid, it was a shame that there weren’t enough tea bags/ sugar sachets for everyone to have even one cup of tea during the stay, or enough dishwasher tablets as we cooked a couple of …

We couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate a really special stay in Dartmouth. Our son was passing out from Britannia Naval College and it was my wife’s 60th Birthday. The house was perfect. Amazing location just above the town with views over the river from every beautifully decorated room. The outside space was a real highlight particularly the lovely terrace looking straight out over the river. The house…

With accommodation on four levels each one of which has wonderful views over the harbour it is a fabulous place to spend time. Well equipped and nicely furnished, with comfortable beds and even a woodburner, a nice selection of books and magazines, it’s a perfect holiday home rain or shine. We enjoyed the terrace garden too. The location is great being right above the town centre but the steep steps leading up to th…

A return visit for us as a family of four. Beautiful location and very close to Dartmouth and a short drive to Salcombe. Set on a golf course it was a perfect spot for golf, sun, sea and amenities. Paul was a great host and was very prompt to answer/resolve queries. Will definitely be returning to this little haven.

This is a super place, in a quiet, peaceful location. The accommodation has been well thought through, absolutely everything you need is to hand, the kitchen is so well stocked with utensils it puts mine to shame!

Lovely views, particularly liked the small roof top terrace. Well thought out accommodation with everything you need. Bedrooms are small with no wardrobe space in main bedroom. Space would be tight for 4 adults but a great place, with great views to stay for a couple. Steps to property are steep.

Heywood was a lovely, comfortable and homely place to stay. Ideally situated in the center of Dartmouth so everything was easily accessible. The parking permit for the local car park was extremely useful. Comfortable bed, good shower and a nice homely environment. We shall be back.
