  • "It was just what the doctor ordered."

    Peace and Quiet. Relaxing outside in the sun and sunset. Great facilities really well laid out. The welcome pack was a lovely touch too. Thank you. If I need to chill out again for a few days I know where to go.

  • "Delightful secluded stay with option to mingle."

    Lovely neighbours. Peaceful and busy in the right measure. Close to all amenities and locations. Well maintained helpful management . I think the only improvement would be a washing machine and comfortable outdoor seating but that said I have survived perfectly well x Thank you

  • "A very welcome addition to the area."

    Extensive and high quality fixtures and equipment. Very good welcome pack. We will probably be back. The drawback is the sound insulation through the ceilings. We could hear all the footfall above and quite a lot of conversation. Thank you.

    We do hope we will be able to welcome you back and thank you for your feedback. We are in the process of looking at the problem of sound insultation and hope to get this corrected to the best of our ability with an old property as soon as we can. Property Owner

  • "I was very impressed with the quality of the accommodation."

    The bed was very comfortable, The shower room was clean and well fitted out and the kitchen area was well equipped including a generous welcome pack. The accommodation Manager called to make sure that everything was OK. One small glitch with the oven but that was soon sorted. One of the best self catering units I have visited

    Perfect for long walks in the countryside.

  • "Very comfortable and clean apartment."

    We requested the heating to be turned up which was done within a couple of hours (we were there beginning of March and it was cold!) Very generous welcome pack. It was lovely watching the tide coming in and out and the bird life. Very peaceful. It is up a steep drive with very steep access from the car parking area down to the apartment so old knees beware!

  • "Comfortable and well-appointed accommodation with friendly and helpful hosts."

    Lovely location. Please make it clear to guests that they must follow the host's directions to drive to the property. Google maps, following link from Sykes, directs down a steep, narrow unmetalled road which is unpassable in a car.

  • "This was our 3rd cottage break, and without doubt the best."

    Penny and Sam are excellent hosts, and we have never before been greeted with so much - milk, bread, tea, coffee, fruit (amazing) eggs, and toiletries in the bathroom. The property is beautiful, and very comfortable, and the scenery from the front just staggeringly relaxing. There are NO downsides to Shipwrights. We hope to return.

  • "The property is lovely Penny and Sam's attention to detail is very good."

    As a jump off place to visit the area is excellent and is great to come back to. The access lane is narrow and needs a confident driver We really enjoyed ourselves!

  • "The property was out of the way, with very steep roads to there from Glampton."

    The initial description did not indicate this. I left the following: A black drawstring bag: small bag, and two hats. If found happy to pay the charge to get them back. Lastly, Sam who watered the flowers was very helpful: even gave my wife a bottle of wine on her birthday.

Galmpton Riverfront Apartments

The Galmpton Riverfront Apartments consists of two, charming properties set on the outskirts of the quaint Devonshire village of Galmpton, which rests between the old fishing port of Brixham to the east, and the fabulous independent shops of Totnes to the west and the foody destination of Dartmouth to the south. A short distance south of the Dartmoor National Park, this pair of ground-floor apartments, which are located directly on the edge of the River Dart, offer open-plan living spaces, parking, tasteful, on-site facilities, as well as superb positioning to nearby attractions and amenities. A brief car journey away from Galmpton will bring you to a variety of attractions, including the shops, well renowned restaurants and buildings of Dartmouth, the fishing town of Brixham, the Paignton Zoo Environmental Park and the National Trust landmark of Greenway, Agatha Christie’s house or Coleton Fishacre, the original home of the Doyly Carte family. In Galmpton visitors can stock up on supplies at the Galleon Stores and Galmpton Post Office, practice their golf swing at Churston Golf Club, and enjoy some traditional pub fare at The Railway Inn or the Manor House or the new restaurant at Sharpham Vineyard. Or maybe even walk (or drive) to Greenway Quay and take a ferry to Dittisham to eat lunch at the Ferry Boat Inn or The Anchorstone. Further afield, the Dartmoor National Park is easily accessible by car, and home to a wealth of exciting things to do and see, such as the scenic locales of Norsworthy Bridge, Wheal Betsy and Roos Tor, whilst dining options include the Warren House Inn at Yelverton, the Rugglestone Inn or Fingle Bridge Inn to name but a few.
