“This is a gem, right in the centre of Dartmouth. Everything from start to finish was marvellous. Breakfast at Alfs was super good. This is a truly unique place. Next booking we hope to go for the Captains apartment at top of house. We highly recommend King Alf’s.”

Myself and family (4 adults, 2 children) thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night break here over the Christmas period. It was beautifully presented and decorated throughout, especially the coastal Christmas vibe in the living room. The views from the property were outstanding and to be so close to the beach is a real plus. Generous welcome goodies too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to others, and hopefully we w…

A beautiful place to stay if you are coming to Dartmouth. The home has amazing views, it’s a great space and very clean and tidy. It had everything you needed, very quiet and all round lovely! Along side this, check in was very easy! Although parking is a little limited, Paul was so helpful and responsive throughout the booking and we found parking quickly and just by the house! Would definitely stay here again!

We actually couldn’t quite believe how incredible the view of the River Dart was from the living room and the master bedroom. Absolutely stunning. We brought our binoculars and loved being able to see all the boats coming and going and to watch the dinghy racing right in front of us. Really clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Being able to park the car in the garage was great. The shops and restaurants are a …

Lovely peaceful location, loved the secure little private courtyard at the front, we could sit leave the door open so the dog could come and go freely, the grassy area a few yards away was also great for the dog to explore. Cottage was clean and tidy and beds were very comfy. Seemed to have everything you need although we didn’t do any cooking during our stay. One thing to be aware of is that one of the roads to acc…

We had a fabulous few days at Solstice. The apartment was ideal, very clean, comfortable and well-equipped and in a fantastic location. Amazing views across the estuary. It was a bonus to have the garage; we didn’t use the car at all as everything was within walking distance. Excellent and helpful communication. We would highly recommend a stay here.

A fabulous flat in the perfect location. Everything was in walking distance. The car park we parked in was a 5 min walk max, we used the flat’s parking permit for the whole weekend. The flat was very clean and had everything we needed. Even an umbrella, which we used ! The bed was very comfortable too. Definitely a flat we would stay in again. We met Tracey the owner and she was a mind of helpful information on plac…
