From the start of the booking process, to the moment we closed the door at the end of our holiday, everything was perfect.
Very comfortable, extremely clean and well presented house, with everything you could ask for. Perfectly located with great views.
Don’t just head straight to Dartmouth.
Make sure you grab a pint and a meal at the Steam Packet and also the Ship.
The little Italian wine bar is also fab, and brunch at the coffee shop is delicious
