The magnificent view of the harbour captivated us time and time again. But even apart from the location, I would have loved the apartment. It has everything you need and it has character. Check-in was easy, parking was straightforward, and there’s plenty to do nearby. Perfect!

I have just thoroughly enjoyed a short break away with my 3 adult children. Perfect accommodation – modern, spotlessly clean, great amenities, beautiful views and just perfect for exploring the surrounding area. I’m glad i paid extra for the hot tub as this was a great added feature to have at the end of a long day, to relax and look across the golf course at the views. I fully recommend this lodge and would definit…

We really enjoyed our stay at Palm Cott. Directions for access were clear. The cottage was well-furnished and the beds were super comfy. We were grateful for the fans as the heatwave meant it got a bit stuffy at night! Kitchen was small but laid out well and had almost everything you need. We did think the addition of a veg peeler and cheese grater would be good. Everything worked well and we felt very at ho…

What a truly breathtaking property. The pictures just don’t match up to the wow factor when you walk in. Of course the unbelievable views help , but the house itself is beautiful! Right on the river , we could have stayed on the balcony for the whole weekend just relaxing and enjoying the view. Location was fabulous, beds were comfortable, and the house was spacious and I loved how it was on different levels so you …

Had a wonderful stay at Galions Quay! The photos don’t do it justice, stunning views on the river, perfect for a rainy getaway. Perfect for 2 families, us and our baby plus our friends and their 2 kids 4&7. Walkable into town with beautiful views of the river. Paul was informative and helpful and we were able to hire a high chair and travel cot for bub. The renovations next door were not an issue for us we didn’t he…

Pretty flat, beautiful decorated and just right for 3 people working the food festival. Easy to find, parking might be an issue in summer but in October it was a breeze. Great hosts and would definitely recommend.

The place was a great space! The kitchen was clean and it was lovely to have a big dining area as well as a comfortable living room to relax in. Our dog loved the garden and you can see the harbour which was a bonus! Three comfy double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to choose from. The street was quiet & plenty of space to park! Only tiny thing to note is that there wasn’t any welcome items like coffee/ milk/ butter or lo…

We had a lovely stay at The Apartment in Dartmouth. Everything was spotless, kitchen had everything you would need. Great location, everything is within walking distance & great places to eat. Would recommend taking the little boat that takes you to the castle & back. Definitely would stay again as also a great base to visit other places along the south Devon coast.
