We had a lovely week i n Lower Deck. It is a short stroll down into the town and a longer walk in the opposite direction to the castle and round the headland. We loved waking up to the views across the water and we managed the whole week without using our car, taking ferries and buses to visit Totnes, Brixham and Agatha Christie’s house, Greenway. Dartmouth has a lot of independent shops to indulge in and we ate out…

Very communicative and helpful. This is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed in, was very clean and had everything we needed. Amazing view of Dartmouth and very unique interior for a special stay. We slept really well and found the space was even bigger than it looked on the listing too. Would definitely stay here again.

Really amazing little property in the heart of Dartmouth. Location couldn’t have been better.

The location was great, the flat was clean, heating worked well and the parking permit was an added bonus. However it would have been nice to have some instructions on how to get the rather inadequate shower to turn on, and also how to receive a signal on the television. Not bad, but not great either.

We had a lovely, peaceful stay at this converted barn in the Devon countryside. The property is open-plan, spacious, and airy, offering a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere from the moment you step inside. ​The countryside scenery of rolling hills was beautiful. We loved spending our mornings sipping coffee and evenings unwinding on the outdoor seating area. There was even enough lawn space for a fun game of badmint…

“Had a really nice stay over Easter. The house is clean and tidy and has everything you’d need. Good parking right outside the property makes things easy. A bit of a climb from the town, but not too strenuous and helps to burn off the calories !! Great host, everything went very smoothly”.

We felt very comfortable in the apartment. Everything was very clean, and every detail had been considered—from an extra fan to earplugs. Communication with the host was excellent. The only thing to watch out for is the timing regarding parking: you need to pay close attention to the schedule of the bus running to the park-and-ride lot outside town (it only operates between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.) and be mindful of the r…

We had a wonderful stay in Dartmouth! The views from every room were amazing. The apartment had everything we needed and felt just like home. It’s only about a 10-minute walk to the shops, pubs, and restaurants, which was really convenient. Paul fantastic, thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.
