“Very nice stay. Place was lovely and clean, instructions from Paul were easy to enter and leave property On a quiet road about 15 minute walk from the town, going in is easy as its downhill back is a bit harder as it eventually becomes quite steep.

Pear Tree Lodge was so homely, with a stunning garden, peaceful and with comfy beds. It’s in a quiet location but very walkable and close to the estuary and Kingsbridge. The South Hams are stunning 🏝️ A little gem of a place. 💎

“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.”

A special mention must go to ‘ the trolley ‘ which made getting your luggage to and from the apartment very easy, such a great idea. one could spend the whole holiday in the apartment just looking at the view as it is so spectacular but Dartmouth has much to offer and the walk into town is quick and easy. we ate at ‘th…
