  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!

  Excellent Location and Views <br />My Partner booked the week as a surprise, so I did not have previous knowledge of where we were going. The property was excellent and as described. The views from the top balcony and terraces at ground floor level are lovely and perfect for sitting out with a glass or three. The top floor is very comfortable and has good facilities. The middle floor double bedrooms and family bathroom are perfectly acceptable.The small bedroom is odd as the door cannot be closed, yet has a double bed with a single bunk above; it would be more sensible to arrange that the door opens outwards instead? There was also only a small chest of drawers in this room....no room for anything else. The ground floor works well as one large through room of Kitchen , dining room and lounge. The Kitchen was well equipped but doesn't offer a lot of food storage cupboards...we had to rearrange the glasses to another Dining Room Cupboard to free a cupboard up ! The Dining Room and Lounge are good and comfortable. The outside terraces accessed through the front door are great.....lovely views.

  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.

  Wonderful views. Quiet location. Lucky with the weather. <br />We really enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable and perfect for our needs in terms of bedrooms and bathrooms. And we loved all the quirky bits and bobs. We had to override the heating settings as it seemed to be set only to be on for an hour in the morning and about 3 hours in the evening, but it was easy to put it on when we needed it and off when we were out or at night. Being without wifi was a bit of a problem since all the tourist information referred you to websites. The views were so wonderful we just sat drinking tea for ages in the mornings in the upstairs room watching the egret feeding.
