I would have liked an oven admittedly…it’s obviously got a lot of history so the doors don’t close easily and the locks are awkward. Not having blinds that block light was also a bit issues for me as a sleeper wanting a dark room. However, the location is amazing and the charm is unbeatable so I can’t complain. It was just rather pricey for lacking some amenities I’d have liked. The bed wasn’t ideal either admittedl…

The most amazing and charming cottage. We had the best time staying at Cider Cottage for Christmas with our two children. The cottage was clean, tidy, well equipped with all cooking utensils and a Christmas tree was even provided, which was a lovely touch. The only small improvement we would suggest is to have a full pack of logs on arrival as we were only left with three and these were burnt in an hour or two with…

The property was as described and well equipped. Parking was excellent and under a canopy so out of reach of seagulls! We are very familiar with Kingsbridge which is good and central and has 2 supermarkets if not planning to eat out every day. In all we would certainly recommend it and plan to stay again in the future.

If you know Dartmouth, then you understand this is the best place to stay! Amazing access to the Cove for crabbing and an easy walk to the castle for a day out.

If you want a truly special experience, book this house. From the moment you enter, you’re met with the most spectacular views of Dartmouth and the river. The interior is beautifully designed and of very high quality – it’s also really comfortable and welcoming. It’s a short walk to the castle ferry which takes you by boat into Dartmouth. Paul was great at responding to any questions we had and we would definitely b…
