Tarifa #1 is a well maintained 2 bedroom apartment about 200m from the sea, as the seagull flies, and in an excellent location for visiting Burgh Island.

The most beautiful property! The view from house was spectacular, the whole house was decorated beautifully. You couldn’t find a better spot up the River Dart to watch the boats go by and the sun rise. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
