Cairn Cottage Reviews

Ian
A very cosy home from home with a fantastic outside area
Emma
Comfortable warm cottage wirh loads of character and great views.
Catherine
Really lovely cottage with everything we needed! Had a really comfortable and enjoyable stay!
Rachel
Lovely house, well equipped and stunning views from the garden. You need strong legs to climb up the very steep hills from town to the house. Parking is challenging. Free parking nearby but not always available so a couple of times we parked in the free market place car park overnight. Dartmouth is very pretty and lots to do, highly recommend.
