Lower Heywood is well located, very close to beautiful views, shops and local restaurants. Out of season, if you’re lucky there is on street parking opposite which we benefitted from during our stay. The accommodation is well appointed with good quality fixtures and fittings and equipment. It is comfortable and warm. There is a stylish free standing bath as well as a good shower. We would definitely stay again.

Great communications from the owner and really timely info about check in. The flat felt bigger than the pictures showed and was really very well decorated. The bed in master room was thankfully a King size and very comfortable, the single beds were also ample. The “No Parking” was not an issue because you are just a 5 min walk from Dartmouth centre and the park and ride is easily excess able. The views were just de…

A great location with fantastic sea views. We didn’t have the weather for it but the rear garden and bar would be great in the warmer weather. The house was clean and well equipped, comfortable and homely.

We spent a lovely two weeks in the Hen House. The rooms were a good size, and the open plan kitchen, dining and living room was great. The decking area was lovely, and we VERY much enjoyed the company of the two seemingly resident, very friendly, cats: they were very good, and didn’t try to come inside [very often!]). The only reason for the lack of a five star review is that we ran out of hot water quite a lot. The…

It’s a gorgeous and well equipped property, with everything you need for your stay. It was immaculately clean with quality bedding and towels. Location is phenomenal (only tiny downside is tight driveway it’s easy to miss, but that’s more user error than a property fault). We will definitely return to Wells Park Barn. For those traveling with small children, be aware the stairs are steep, but there is a gate at the …

We had the best time staying here, perfectly located close to the hotel where I celebrated my 50th birthday. It was much bigger than we expected too. Thank you

A lovely spacious townhouse for our family group of five, with everything we wanted for a break. For outside space there’s a pretty seating spot under a Gingko tree outside the open plan kitchen / dinning room and up steps at the rear of the house is a sun trap terrace with views over the town. A big advantage is having a parking space in Dartmouth, as we understood walking around this very pretty coastal town of ho…
