We had a lovely stay here! It’s a great location for wandering into town. We used it as a base to explore surrounding areas like salcombe. The kitchen is very well equipped which is always a bonus when cooking away from home. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Fantastic location and a beautiful sea view. Very comfortable beds and easy access to the beach and Start Bay Inn for food and drink. Great place to relax. Parking can be a bit of a juggle to get a free space but they do tend to turn over quickly so wasn’t a problem for us.

Just back from a lovely week at this property. Its a fantastic house in a great location for a 20 min walk into Dartmouth centre or a 5 min walk to the castle and nearby coves. Would definitely recommend it.

“Situated on the beach it was great to be able to pop back to the cottage – ideal when you have 2 kids and a dog! Local farm shop was fab for groceries and the Start Bay Inn was reliable for some nice evening food and drinks. Torcross is a beautiful place and the cottage allowed for an enjoyable and peaceful break”.

We both said we wished we could have stayed longe…

A small but perfect room for a weekend at the music festival. Right in the heart of town, great location. Every detail in the room had been considered and very comfortable beds. Breakfast downstairs is a treat and the hosts are delightful, a great find thank you

I stayed in Dart Lookout for 8 days and it really is a sanctuary and a place to relax and watch the world go by. Birds, cruise ships, staff from the hotel below, next door’s dog – I watched and enjoyed them all from the window seat of dreams that is the best part of this house. The big bed follows in close second – super comfortable with lovely bedding. Open the curtains in the morning and watch the sun come up over…

Amazing views from a lovely house, probably the best view in Torcross. The main living area is bright and airy and I had the big windows open all the time so that I could hear the waves, just perfect. Keep an eye out for the local seal that swims close to the beach most evenings! The twin room upstairs is very sweet and has its own sink and toilet. The main bedroom downstairs is very comfortable and the bathroom has…

On a very steep hill, so loading and unloading can be challenge. Great views and location. No parking nearby.
