Stoke Lodge Hotel

Stoke Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was very good plenty of choice and your regular member of staff is delightful, helpful and friendly nothing was too much trouble. The dining room and breakfast room appeared to have been freshly decorated and well presented. Our bedroom although a little tired had a good view of the outside pool and the sea in the distance. Your staff on reception were always on hand to give us their local knowledge and again helpful. We would recommend the hotel for a comfortable stay."

Sheena's Dartmouth Chalets

Sheena's Dartmouth Chalets

10/10 Excellent
"This was my second visit to this accommodation and it was just as good as the first. The chalet has everything you could need for a self-catering facility. Clean, with also plenty of good quality towels. There is also plenty of parking space. As this was a summer stay, there were plenty of families with children and dogs. There are no facilities for children to play on so you do need to entertain them. Even with small children and dogs, the chalet park was very quiet and everyone very friendly. There are supermarkets nearby and Dartmouth is very close and beautiful, well with a visit. I always prefer self catering to hotels and the price was extremely reasonable. I would definitely come to this chalet again and again and highly recommend it. One thing might be worthwhile to mention, I came during a heatwave so the chalet was extremely hot inside as you would expect. A fan would have been a lovely addition. The lack of that does not preclude me from visiting again."
