Me and my family absolutely loved our time staying here. The place was spotless when we arrived, and check-in was super easy. We loved it so much we’re planning on going there again! Paul was super responsive with questions, and the plot is surrounded by gorgeous scenery. Would recommend you having a car as a little run around, as everything is within a 10/20 minute drive from the lodge, but would be a little diffic…

Great location to visit the beaches and coastal towns of East/South Devon, e.g. short driving distance from the gem Dartmouth, very much recommended with kids because of the crab fishing from the quay. House was very clean and new, little bit smaller than expected but it had everything we needed, and hottub was a big plus. Front side of the house is not most appealing, but backside has very nice views on the golf co…

The Apartment is immaculate, nothing is left to chance. It’s also close to all the amenities which is handy for restaurants and pubs. The parking permit is a necessity as parking can be a Dartmouth problem”.

Everything was better than expected. It was just a 5-minute walk up to the coast with its sensational views, and a 10-minute walk to a wonderful bay with a fantastic sandy beach. A cozy pub serving delicious food, beer, and pool was only a 2-minute walk away. Agatha Christie’s house, Plymouth, and Dartmouth were all within a 30- to 45-minute drive. And then, always returning to a truly cozy apartment that had everyt…

Perfect if you need a bunk room to crash in the centre of Dartmouth. Ideal for sailors not wanting to stay on board, or for anyone wanting to enjoy the delights of Dartmouth. It is compact, but perfectly functional and perfectly located. Great breakfasts included downstairs at the wonderful Cafe Alfresco.

This apartment was absolute heaven! my husband and I had the best time with our 9 month old baby – Paul was so helpful with our stay – there was even a Christmas tree up which was so lovely ❤️ The apartment had comfy beds, great kitchen and one of the best views of Dartmouth overlooking the river and the mouth of the ocean. Walk to town is under 5 mins, and not too steep which was a real help with the pram! such a c…
