“What a beautiful home. So well looked after and appointed. Beautifully clean and very pretty. The communication with the owner was superb and we are certainly going to go back again. The are is fabulous and we really appreciated all the tips the owner left in a file for us. So much better than a hotel room.”

Great place – the garage parking is a rare thing and the views from the property are perfect. From watching the ferries, to the weather coming in, you can spend hours sitting in the bay windows quite happily! A very short walk into town as well.

Perfect if you need a bunk room to crash in the centre of Dartmouth. Ideal for sailors not wanting to stay on board, or for anyone wanting to enjoy the delights of Dartmouth. It is compact, but perfectly functional and perfectly located. Great breakfasts included downstairs at the wonderful Cafe Alfresco.

Spectacular waterside view. Unique. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Very clean. We had a really wonderful time. I would recommend taking some of your own logs, there was only enough for 1 short fire for a 2 night stay.

Lovely home, clean, stylish and homely. Great value for money. 10 minute walk into town. We got the bus up the hill easily on the way home. Responsive host. Thank you.

This was the third time we have stayed, and as always it was a great stay. Very comfortable, easy to get about Dartmouth and just generally great.

Solstice is a lovely house near to restaurants, with an amazing view and we’d certainly like to return. Clearer instructions for rubbish disposal would be useful, as the bins in the garage weren’t labelled. The property has lovely quality crockery and nice big towels! The stairs to the top floor are very steep, so not suitable for everyone.

“Absolutely stunning location, the view from the living room did not disappoint, also, falling asleep to the sound of the ocean was great and defiantly helped with a greats night sleep! 10/10 and thank you for allowing us to stay”.
