We had a lovely few days as a family in the home. The house is a one off and beautiful. The handy walkable distance to Dartmouth was ideal to discover the restaurants and shops. Look forward to returning in the future!

This place in Dartmouth is wonderful. A very spacious house that is perfectly located near to all the shops, pubs and restaurants. The view from the front of the house is to die for.

Our stay in this Dartmouth property was absolutely amazing. The views were stunning, the people were great, the town had plenty to do and lots of history, the weather was perfect, etc. I couldn’t have asked for more.

The main living space was perfectly laid out for spending time with friends. There are two dining tables which was great as one turned into a puzzle table whilst we dined at the other. The bedrooms were spacious and the bed were incredibly comfortable. We had …

A very enjoyable stay! Dartmouth was lovely and the house is relatively close to the high street … but the hill up to the house was quite the incline – It was just about manageable with young children / pram.
