My sister and I came with our two children for the half term. We wanted to get into the hustle and bustle of Dartmouth, without being in the middle. The house is in a great location, close to beaches/shops/local attractions. The house its self was perfect, plenty of space, well equipped and super cosy! We had three days of rain, so the added bonus of being able to use the pool with the children was great. Paul was o…

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.

Amazing location and breathtaking views. Fully equipped to a high standard with everything you need .. apart from a cheese knife and a full length mirror. Spotlessly clean interior and well maintained. External steps and patio were very slippy and the patio furniture tired. Would have loved an earlier standard check in time or the opportunity for luggage store.

A lovely place for our weekend family get together. We had everything we needed. Comfy beds and lovely bathrooms. Space for us all. Our youngest member is 2 and we appreciated the stair gate. Paul was very helpful and responsive to messages.

I had an amazing stay at this lodge! The home was clean, cozy, and exactly as described in the listing. The location was perfect – close to everything I needed but still quiet and relaxing. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in and check-out a breeze. I really appreciated that the host kindly allowed me a late check-out when I asked – thank you for that! The little touches like fresh towe…

Very clean and well equipped cottage in extremely peaceful surroundings. Close to all local towns and beaches. Narrow country lanes, would recommend using Hutchleigh Cross to gain access. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend to friends/family. Lovely peaceful and quiet location. Lots of towns to visit and enjoyed the local beaches.

A beautiful apartment with lovely views across the estuary. The walk from the town is about 10mins and fine without a lot to carry. It’s quite a long incline. Not steep though. And it’s definitely worth it when you get there! Super comfortable and the photos don’t do it justice! We had a great stay and would certainly book it again. The park and ride is very efficient and we left the car there and used the many mode…
