Its a lovely apartment right in the centre of Dartmouth with all the facilities you could ask for. A bit quirky with the floor levels due to the age of the property but we love it so much we have booked again for next year, which for us is very unusual

Ideally located for all the shops, pubs, restaurants and other facilities in Dartmouth. Only complaint there were two side lights not working in the lounge. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Beautifully decorated and as a very old building, having the quirkiness of the wonky walls and floors, made our stay even more memorable. Our one request would be to upgrade the pillows in the bedrooms, they are all very lumpy. Other than that it was a perfect stay so much so that we have booked to come back again next year.
