Lovely place to stay and everything there that you need. Lots of lovely places to visit. Long hike back up a very steep hill from town. Be aware of you are less mobile or elderly. Park and ride good service. Only minor thing to note was how uncomfortable the sofa was in the lounge. Made relaxing for two people difficult.

Small house on a new build estate to the north of Dartmouth. Well presented and equipped. Quiet even though its just off the main road. Sofa is very uncomfortable and bed could do with a better mattress. We paid attention to other reviews and took a topper with us. However good value for the area. You can walk to Dartmouth but the walk back is up a very steep hill so not advised. Dog crate provided although we prefer to use our own. Not a lot of dog friendly greenspace close to the house. Slight issue with cleanliness due to faulty hoover.

A lovely place to stay. Spacious and very dog friendly. Park and ride nearby to save walking up the steep hill. Parking also available in Dartmouth itself. Beautiful area.
