YOUR PERFECT GETAWAY
The Vision Behind Our Spaces
OLD MARINERS HOUSE
DARTMOUTH
Located in the heart of Dartmouth, this property is a true haven for those who love serene river views and quaint town experiences. Step outside, and you’re surrounded by history, nature, and the charming energy of this riverside town. Our B&B offers the perfect spot to unwind after exploring local sights like Dartmouth Castle or enjoying a peaceful boat ride along the River Dart.
AFTON FARMHOUSE
ISLE OF WIGHT
For those craving the soothing rhythm of the ocean, our Isle of Wight property offers an idyllic escape. Just a short walk from the beach, this cozy and stylish retreat is perfect for adventurers and nature lovers alike. Whether you want to explore the coastal trails, indulge in water sports, or simply relax with the sound of waves in the background, this property is your home away from home.

At the heart of our cottage experience is a commitment to making each guest feel special. We’ve thoughtfully designed each space to reflect the essence of its location while ensuring modern comforts and personal touches that make your stay unique.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll find that every detail — from the cozy bedding to the carefully curated local recommendations — has been chosen with your comfort in mind.

Astonishingly brilliant location overlooking Dartmouth and Kingswear. Shops, pubs and restaurants only a few minutes away, yet peaceful location with views both of the sea and up the estuary. Ideal for the walker, with the South West Coast Path running outside the front door towards Blackpool Sands, Torcross and (via the lower ferry) Brixham. Easy access to ferries, buses and (steam) trains for those travelling without a car. Wish we could have stayed longer!

The flat is in a really good location – close to town. Also it has great views – you can watch the Kingswear ferry come and go, plus see the stream train and of course the river.

Brilliant. Couldn’t ask for a better location. Could do with a little bit of TLC and maintenance. Also a thorough clean. Otherwise perfect.

Sad to leave today, after a fabulous weeks stay, back in Dartmouth after many years away. The house is in a super location for getting all around on foot, using Warfleet to park the car. Quite steep inside and a little wonky, we found this quirky but be aware if you have mobility issues. I was glad we didn’t bring the dog as no outside area, would have been tricky. We would most definitely recommend to friends and would love to return. Thank you Lawrence.
