"This was my second visit to this accommodation and it was just as good as the first. The chalet has everything you could need for a self-catering facility. Clean, with also plenty of good quality towels. There is also plenty of parking space. As this was a summer stay, there were plenty of families with children and dogs. There are no facilities for children to play on so you do need to entertain them. Even with small children and dogs, the chalet park was very quiet and everyone very friendly....

Stunning views, period town house, central Dartmouth close to river, quiet road.

10/10 Excellent
"We were a group of 6 adults and had a wonderful stay at Andrew's property. Excellent communication from the host prior to our arrival. The house is located only a short walk away from the centre along a relatively flat (for Dartmouth!) road, although it is quite narrow with no on site parking. We dropped our bags off at the property then drove around to find a permit free parking space (suggestions of where to go received from Andrew beforehand) which took around 20 minutes. Parking is a problem in Dartmouth generally, especially in the summer, so we would have had this issue no matter where we stayed. The property was perfect for our needs - very clean with 3 generous sized bedrooms and superb views from the lounge and top bedroom. The owners have decorated the house, especially the the kitchen and main bathroom to a very high standard which made our stay very comfortable. We only stayed for 2 nights to watch the Shakespeare play performance at the castle but we can highly recommend this property and will definitely stay again if we return to Dartmouth."
