Wow. What a very special place this is. For a start it’s in a brilliant position overlooking the river in lovely Dartmouth. But there’s more to it than that – the house itself has been finished and furnished to a very high standard of both comfort and amenities. Everything worked easily and as you would expect. The layout is stylish and designed to make the most of all the views – and I’m sure the fire and downstair…

Extremely cosy and spacious cottage set in a beautiful setting. We felt at home straight away in the warmth decor and spent the perfect Christmas with the family. The host was very proactive and welcoming. I would strongly recommend Cedar cottage for families looking to explore Devon.

Great location! Lovely and spacious apartment. The kitchen was a bit cramped with five people at the table. The living room was spacious and comfortable with a lovely view and evening sun. The ferry to Dartmouth is very close and runs very frequently (7am-11pm). We took the Round Robin ferry to Totnes, a lovely trip. Totnes itself was very nice, and we visited the castle. It’s a nice town with lovely shops too. We t…

Amazing 5 nights stay at this beautifully furnished new property. Incredible location with panoramic views of the river and harbour. 20 mins walk to the town – a bit far for some people maybe but we wanted a quieter spot. Clean and comfortable bedrooms, modern kitchen with top of the line appliances, complementary coffee was a nice touch, good quality linen and toiletries. Great secure parking space. Paul was friend…

This is a delightful apartment with stunning views. Very light and airy. Easy walk into the town but in a very quiet location (particularly with the closed road). Very short walks to local swimming spots. I would recommend Warfleet Creek – only 5 minutes walk but was completely quiet even in a heat wave. Dartmouth is full of wonderful eating places and Lower Deck is a brilliant location to try them!

A spacious, clean house in a great location. The garden is lovely too and a sun trap. It is very peaceful despite a close location to town. You can walk from the house to the harbour very quickly. Comfortable beds. A great stay.

Well appointment property which accurately matched the description and photos. It was clean and tidy and bright and modern. The property has amazing views of the harbour and Dartmouth Atwood the river. The steam train station is literally less than 5 minutes away and the steam trains can be seen chugging along from the property. I asked for a late checkout and Paul was very accommodating. Wouldn’t hesitate to recomm…
