A beautiful 3 night stay in Dartmouth. Lower Heywood was everything we could have asked for: Very local to restaurants and shops and the quayside. A peaceful and relaxing stay.

Very communicative and helpful. This is one of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed in, was very clean and had everything we needed. Amazing view of Dartmouth and very unique interior for a special stay. We slept really well and found the space was even bigger than it looked on the listing too. Would definitely stay here again.

“Alf’s Rooms are simply fantastic. We stayed in the two B&B rooms and the studio flat. The kids loved the bunk beds. We had a wonderful bedroom. My mum stayed in the studio flat and it has great decor and a cool nautical theme. The view from the balcony is gorgeous. Over Dartmouth, the river and you can see the sea. You pop downstairs for the best breakfast in Dartmouth. Amazing service from all staff.”

We had a wonderful few days at Cedar House. The design of the house is really beautiful – spacious (we were six adults), quality furnishings and design, and a well equipped kitchen. We’ve stayed at Stoke Fleming many times and always love the walk down to Blackpool Sands or along the coastal path to Dartmouth. Cedar House was the perfect base for a special family holiday. Paul is a really responsive and helpful host…

“We had a great stay at this lovely little apartment. Great location in the heart of town, walking distance to the train station and lots of restaurants, pubs, cafes, and shops nearby. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a short break. The bedroom was comfy and quiet, and the living/dining/kitchen area was a great place to relax and cook. The kitchen had a good range of appliances and…

Lovely place and very well located. Comfortable and really well looked after. Will book again when we head back. Lovely property! Been coming down to Strete and Dartmouth for about 25 years or so, and it was by far the nicest spot we’ve stayed in!

Great little find – the apartment is very well fitted out with everything you could need for a getaway. Very convenient central location but very quiet at the same time – except the seagulls! 😉
