A little gem in Dartmouth

A really good place to stay in Dartmouth with a friendly owner and staff. A lovely bedroom with nice sheets, towels and the added benefit of a mini bar with fresh milk! Delicious breakfasts too. Highly recommend.

The room is in an old building in Dartmouth so expectations are that it will be on the smaller side. It was clean with excellent bathroom. Position of the property was fantastic for getting out and about. Staff that we met were friendly and accommodating. Loved every minute of our stay.

Nice stay, friendly helpful staff. Breakfast was really good. Location is central but there is road noise, earplugs were supplied. Parking was a bit of an issue.
