The cottage had everything you need. Very comfortable. Would recommend if what you are looking for is a place to travel around by Bus Ferry or Train every thing on the door step.

We had a wonderful 7-day stay and were lucky to enjoy great weather throughout. The location was amazing, with brilliant views from the cottage that we never tired of. The local community was lovely and welcoming, and we had a fantastic meal at the Ship Inn.

The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, and we especially appreciated the dishwashersomething we dont have at home! It was also a great base for exploring the area. We took the ferry over to Dartmouth, which was a bit expensive but definitely worth the visit. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would happily stay again. Hide

Really lovely place. Great location and well equipped. Had no issues parking on the marina car park. You can book 4 days at a time, 10.00 per day or if you buy by the day it's 11.00. Had a great time watching the ever changing view and close ups of the steam train. Foot ferry to Dartmouth is 2.50 per person each way, you can buy a book of ticketsRead more slightly cheaper if you are going over several times. Great fish and chip shop sadly only open on a Friday night. Would love to stay again. Hide

Marina Lodge has everything you need for a wonderful break away, we have been staying here for over 20 years and this visit didn't disappoint. We loved the refresh the owners have done with everything being recently decorated. The views from both balconies are just brilliant - we were even lucky enough to watch a firework display from the Naval ColRead morelege across the water! The house is well equipped with all you need to self cater. The village itself has 2 pubs, caf, post office and shop there are also some great walks. Access across the water is easy with 2 ferry options, we used the lower car ferry where you can purchase a travel card and top up as needed. We had a couple of great meals at The Steam Packet which is just along from the house. Can't wait to return! Hide

Marina Lodge had everything we could wish for. The location in the village is great, it was easy to get to the local shops, pubs and ferry. The cottage was better than the photos as it has been recently decorated throughout, beds were big and comfortable and the views were amazing. The only down side was there is no parking so need to use the carRead more park. We would definitely stay again. Hide

Overall a good place to stay near Dartmouth, ideal for the ferry and links to the wider area. Two great pubs, Marina and steam train nearby. Place was clean, 3 Decent size rooms and well equipped. Letting agents very good. Few negatives: Balconies needed a good varnish, new furniture and balcony glass cleaned, good feature for amazing viewRead mores but didn't feel i could use it. Shame really. Parking is very limited, but marina car park 10 for 24 hours and a 5 minute walk away. 2 keys would of been useful. Be careful with the lower Balcony, goes onto a flat roof with a 40 foot drop off. There are gaps in the balcony sides and below the glass for a small dog to escape, our chihuahua ended up stuck in the guttering and needed rescuing, just be cautious with small dogs and children. Enjoyed my two weeks here that's the main thing. Hide
