We had a wonderful stay! The accommodation was perfect for a long weekend in Devon. Literally 8 min drive outside of Dartmouth. The kids particularly loved the hot tub after spending the day out exploring. Thank you so much for having us!

We had a wonderful few days here. It was very clean & well equipped & and easy walk into the centre of Dartmouth. The car parking space was an added bonus. Recommend 100% although the steep steps would be a challenge for v young children or those with mobility issues but that is explained in the listing. Would definitely book again if return to beautiful Dartmouth.

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.

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!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. After wet beach walks we enjoyed warming up in front of the log burner watching a film. A really peaceful location and we felt right at home and comfortable straight away. Location was great for exploring neighbouring towns, beaches and amenities. Would definitely stay here again!

Such a lovely and spacious place! We didn’t get the chance to use the terrace and BBQ as the October weather was a bit unpredictable, but we can imagine how beautiful it would be to wake up to the sunrise over the estuary. The home was well-equipped and spacious, with a touch of luxury throughout. It’s close to town and surrounded by beautiful walks. Parking can be a little tricky, but we were lucky to find a spot n…
