“Beautiful house and it had all we needed for a friends’ weekend away – everything we possibly thought of was there in the kitchen, lovely kitchenware, big table for communal meals, cosy lounge space. Quick walk to town and a shop and pub nearby. Will definitely book again”.

Perfect spot for a couple. Walking distance from the River Dart and places to eat.

“It’s fair to say this has been one of the most relaxing holidays we have ever had, with a mixture of lazy days in the cottage, and lovely days out and about. We never book a 7 day break, but this is the start of something new for us. I would totally recommend this destination and either one of the beautiful cottages that are on offer. Thank you so much for some wonderful memories”

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cabin. It was well equipped with everything you need. The beds were comfortable and everyone slept well. The location is peaceful and great for exploring local beaches, making it a good base for days out. Communication throughout the booking process and with any queries about the property was prompt and helpful, which was really appreciated. Overall, we’d happily stay again. Th…

The most beautiful property! The view from house was spectacular, the whole house was decorated beautifully. You couldn’t find a better spot up the River Dart to watch the boats go by and the sun rise. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

This is a super place, in a quiet, peaceful location. The accommodation has been well thought through, absolutely everything you need is to hand, the kitchen is so well stocked with utensils it puts mine to shame!

We had a really lovely stay at Galions quay. The house is beautiful and immaculately appointed. Its location is perfect for being close to Dartmouth town but also just removed enough to be quiet. We especially loved being near to Dartmouth castle and the coves for swimming. The house itself has everything we needed and Paul was a great host. We’d stay there again without question.

“Slice of heaven. The pictures and all the positive reviews aren’t even close to what you will experience once you step in to the property. Fully equipped – basics easily acquired from a local co-op down the road. Three levels of views for guests to enjoy – picturesque, panoramic, stunning.”

“This place was above expectations, it was amazing. My discerning mother could not fault it. The views were amazing, sitting in bed in the morning watching the harbour activity was so relaxing, from all the windows fabulous views. The place was spotlessly clean, brilliant that no pets are allowed. Every little detail has been thought of such as the low level lights that come on if you need to get up to go to the toi…
