We had a great time as a family at Dolphin Heights. Only realised the day before we arrived that there was a bridge to access the apartment so we were a bit concerned. We needn’t had been though as it was safe. The apartment was larger than expected and had a good selection of items in the kitchen. The shower broke on the first day and the owners fixed it straight away. They responded to messages really quickly which was really reassuring. The welcome basket was a nice touch. Thank you for welcoming us. X

A great apartment in an excellent location. Very good value for money for the Devon area. The apartment was clean, with everything we needed, even down to a sewing kit to fix a top! The beds were comfortable and fans had been provided to cool down the rooms in the summer heat. The local area was wonderful, short walks to beautiful locations and buses to most attractions if you wish to have a week off of driving. Overall excellent and we would stay again. Thank you.
