Valarie and Phil were exceptional hosts and nothing was too much trouble. It was a charming bijou room in an interesting and unusual property. Right in the centre of Dartmouth so an excellent location.

A delightful double bedroom, with contemporary en-suite. Designed as a separate annex from the main house with its own private secure access and small secluded patio area. Completed in April 2017. Only 300 metres from the River front and ideally located to enjoy all that Dartmouth has to offer. A variety of teas and a specialist coffee maker, together with a hairdryer and iron, are provided in the room, for the duration of your stay.

You will find the entrance key to your room in the Master Lock Safe, which is secured to one of the timber posts adjacent to your front door.
