  We stayed at moorings for 4 nights and we had such a lovely time.

  The house in person is even more impressive than it is in the photos. The sensational views really were the star of the show, we were amazed every time we looked outside. Although the walk up to the house is uphill and can be difficult the beauty of the house really made the walk worthwhile. The house was decorated beautifully with every room bringing such a modern feel into the house, the layout of the house was really lovely as well, across the 3 floors every single room was spotless and the cleanliness was immaculate. We really can’t recommend Moorings enough, we had such a lovely time exploring kingswear, Paignton and Brixham and not to mention the lovely steam train ride. Watching the lit up ferry go across the river at night time from the master suite was such a wonderful sight , it really was remarkable. The ferry was easy to use and a really good experience to get over to Dartmouth. Although there was no set parking for the house we were always able to find a spot to park near the property, we parked one car outside the house and one a little bit down the road , parking was no problem during our holiday. We were so gutted to leave this stunning house and scenery however because of our lovely experience we are planning on going back next year for a longer time. We can’t thank the owners of Moorings enough, everything in the house was easy to use and we truly did not want to leave. Thank you!

  We had a lovely break.

  Accommodation was good. However the following would have greatly improved our stay- The blinds in the bedrooms are incredibly thin. This meant we were woken up extremely early each morning at 5am or earlier by the light through the window. Blackout blinds would help solve this issue. We could only use one shower at a time. If the other shower was used the first person would get scalded and water pressure greatly reduced. The kitchen tap would start running when the lower basin tap was being used. Oven gloves would have been useful. The patio area was very dirty when we arrived and obviously had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. The table also had not been cleaned. The cushions for the patio furniture had a really strong smell of diesel so much so that we were unable to use them. This was all very disappointing and meant that we didn’t use this area which was such a shame as this was one of the reasons we booked this accommodation. There was no seagull bag to put our rubbish into. Overall we did enjoy our stay but having the above rectified would make a future stay even more enjoyable.

  Absolutely brilliant. <br />Marina Lodge is a beautiful house with the most fabulous views - we just loved it. I stayed with my elderly mother and two teenage sons, and all of us were so sorry to leave. A very convenient place to stay - the parking permit was brilliant - you can easily not use your car at all during your holiday, as ferries, boats trains and buses are right on the doorstep. The house is very accommodating with everything on hand, comfortable and convenient. It was very helpfull to be able to have the main bedroom bed converted to twin beds for my Mother and I. My sons loved their double rooms too. ( Sadly the wifi did not work, but I believe this is temporary) The only problem was the window would not open in the smallest bedroom - but it was not hot when we stayed, so this did not pose too great a difficulty for us. Blue River Cottages were excellent too - very efficient throughout the booking process and extremely welcoming when we visited them in their Dartmouth offices.

  Wow the view is amazing from The Moorings.

  The property itself is beautiful & nicely fitted out. Home from home - just what you want these days. It’s very easy to get over to Dartmouth on the passenger ferry & if you go over a few times buy a book of 20 tickets, as these cost £11.50 versus £1.50 each way. My parents loved the property too but being in their 70’s & 80’s found the master bedroom stairs very challenging & opted for the double room on the 1st floor. They also had to take the long route down to the train/ ferry (30 minute walk) as the quick route was far too steep for them. We loved the Steam Packet Inn so definitely try this when you are there, it was so good we went 3 times in a week. Great pizzas, excellent starters & a small selection of delicious fish - booking is a must & u have to pay a deposit. Thoroughly enjoyed our week & would return to The Moorings it is perfect for a family holiday by the sea. We also tried the sea Kayaking & would recommend this too.

  Loved our stay at this residence.

  Booked for a party of 6 to enable us to combine a weeks holiday with my grandson's passing out at Dartmouth Naval College. Beautiful views, all amenities at hand. House catered for everything we required and spotlessly clean. Beds really comfortable. Lovely outside space, which we didn't make use of due to the weather, but a great asset when the suns shining. Would be great to enjoy a barbeque on an evening. Steep hill when walking, certainly increased our fitness levels. Always managed to get a parking space very close by when we returned from outings in the car. Neighbour very friendly and helpful. Understand the ferry prices are increasing substantially in the near future, best to get one of the packages for the week but does add to the cost of your stay if you intend using the ferry frequently. Overall we would highly recommend and enjoyed our stay in this lovely property.
