The house definitely had the wow factor. It is in a stunning location looking down the estuary to Dartmouth. The house is beautifully presented, and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. There was plenty of parking, and walking into Dartmouth was an easy stroll. Paul was so helpful answering all our queries and was very responsive. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at the beautiful property.

Lovely apartment in a great location. Really enjoyed our stay. The mattresses and pillows are super comfy so great nights sleeps experienced by all of us. The bathroom has one of the best showers I have ever used. Great pressure. Totally recommend this apartment and would love to stay here again.

We had a great stay and would definitely go back! It’s a lovely, modern house with gorgeous views and is on a farm (so great for kids to see the tractors / cows / pigs in the mornings!). A friendly cat visited us all the time too. It’s so close to the beach at Torcross (and the Start Bay Inn for great fish and chips) and well located for Salcombe / Dartmouth etc. The two bathrooms were really useful. The only things…

This place was just incredible!! My friends and I were so impressed and the photos really don’t do it justice. We had a fantastic time and there was so much to do! The property itself was incredibly well maintained and clean. The kitchen and living area is large and spacious and the back garden with the bar area was great for bbqs. I will definitely be returning soon!

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.

It’s a beautiful, quiet spot, which we’ve been to before. Lovely cabin in the woods and very comfortable.

This is a really nicely appointed flat with lovely bathrooms in a good location. A bonus was the proximity of the bus stop so we could get a bus to and from Dartmouth (and elsewhere if we’d wanted) without having to worry about parking. We had poor weather but had it been sunny the two balconies would have been delightful. An extremely pleasant stay.
