  We stayed at moorings for 4 nights and we had such a lovely time.

  The house in person is even more impressive than it is in the photos. The sensational views really were the star of the show, we were amazed every time we looked outside. Although the walk up to the house is uphill and can be difficult the beauty of the house really made the walk worthwhile. The house was decorated beautifully with every room bringing such a modern feel into the house, the layout of the house was really lovely as well, across the 3 floors every single room was spotless and the cleanliness was immaculate. We really can’t recommend Moorings enough, we had such a lovely time exploring kingswear, Paignton and Brixham and not to mention the lovely steam train ride. Watching the lit up ferry go across the river at night time from the master suite was such a wonderful sight , it really was remarkable. The ferry was easy to use and a really good experience to get over to Dartmouth. Although there was no set parking for the house we were always able to find a spot to park near the property, we parked one car outside the house and one a little bit down the road , parking was no problem during our holiday. We were so gutted to leave this stunning house and scenery however because of our lovely experience we are planning on going back next year for a longer time. We can’t thank the owners of Moorings enough, everything in the house was easy to use and we truly did not want to leave. Thank you!

  Wow the view is amazing from The Moorings.

  The property itself is beautiful & nicely fitted out. Home from home - just what you want these days. It’s very easy to get over to Dartmouth on the passenger ferry & if you go over a few times buy a book of 20 tickets, as these cost £11.50 versus £1.50 each way. My parents loved the property too but being in their 70’s & 80’s found the master bedroom stairs very challenging & opted for the double room on the 1st floor. They also had to take the long route down to the train/ ferry (30 minute walk) as the quick route was far too steep for them. We loved the Steam Packet Inn so definitely try this when you are there, it was so good we went 3 times in a week. Great pizzas, excellent starters & a small selection of delicious fish - booking is a must & u have to pay a deposit. Thoroughly enjoyed our week & would return to The Moorings it is perfect for a family holiday by the sea. We also tried the sea Kayaking & would recommend this too.

  Loved our stay at this residence.

  Booked for a party of 6 to enable us to combine a weeks holiday with my grandson's passing out at Dartmouth Naval College. Beautiful views, all amenities at hand. House catered for everything we required and spotlessly clean. Beds really comfortable. Lovely outside space, which we didn't make use of due to the weather, but a great asset when the suns shining. Would be great to enjoy a barbeque on an evening. Steep hill when walking, certainly increased our fitness levels. Always managed to get a parking space very close by when we returned from outings in the car. Neighbour very friendly and helpful. Understand the ferry prices are increasing substantially in the near future, best to get one of the packages for the week but does add to the cost of your stay if you intend using the ferry frequently. Overall we would highly recommend and enjoyed our stay in this lovely property.

  Amazing place to stay.

  The view from the house is stunning. Very clean and well maintained. Enough space for the large group that we were. Took some time to find the place as it’s not on google maps. Small shop a short walk away that has all the essentials. Short ferry across to Dartmouth that runs very frequently gets access to larger shops, restaurants etc. Only issue was the boiler had an issue on the last 2 days and we lost cold water. We could contact Sykes at odd hours which was good. We had to check out before it could be fixed so had to take a cold shower before leaving. But given it’s the summer that was ok and we were given more time to check out. Overall would highly recommend.

  As a party of 4 adults we had a very enjoyable week at Moorings.

  The house is lovely and modern with a great deck overlooking the most fabulous views of Dartmouth. We were very lucky with the weather being dry and sunny and used the deck everyday for coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening. Walking up and down the steps or road way down to the ferry was hard work but good exercise! We would recommend visiting Dolium in Kingswear - great Italian food and wine. Inside the house, as the lounge is quite large - maybe a bigger TV? Even with all of us being glasses wearers we struggled to see any text shown on it! Overall a great holiday home.
