Great property in the most excellent location. Close to everything. We parked the car on Friday night and didn't get back in it until we left on the Monday. Everything you need in the house and very comfortable.
A beautiful, relaxing stay between Christmas and New Year. The house was decorated just right. We've visited now during three seasons and each has proved wonderful. With crazy weather, it was terrific to have the ferries so close. I love going round the house looking at the pictures, ornaments and soft furnishings. The house was lovely and warm throughout the stay
Really enjoyed staying at the property which was accessible but not so much for the elderly and are immobile. Great views and a delightful property for a break.
It was comfortable, clean and everything that you need. The summer house was a great addition. Thank you so much
We loved the location, overlooking Dartmouth which is stunning day and night. Take care with any Google directions and just stick to the main road. Avoid coming off the main road via Higher Street, alongside The Ship Inn - as we did! Accommodation is perfect and the ferry just a short walk away takes you straight into Dartmouth.
A wonderful property with stunning views. Very clean with all the amenities you need. Good communication with Wendy for check in. Easy access to Dartmouth on the ferry 30 seconds from the doorstep. Got to know alot of the local business owners at the coffee shop, post office, cafe, Italian wine bar and The Ship Inn, all very friendly and welcoming. A great walk behind the house through the woods and along the coast. Would definitely hope to return. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place.
This house was fantastic for our family holiday. It was very clean and had lovely furnishings and decor.
The location was perfect with superb views from every window.
We only used the care twice during our stay.
We would definitely book this house again. The only consideration is access to the property as there are steps to it but once you get up the steps the views are amazing.
We had the most fantastic 3 night stay at Morocco House. The property was absolutely perfect for our needs, was so beautifully appointed and had everything we could possibly need. The property was spotless, the beds were very comfy, the garden was magical and the views from every aspect were glorious! It couldn't have been more convenient for the ferry, too. We look forward to returning.
This is a beautiful property in a stunning location. The house is immaculate and beautifully furnished with everything you could need. The location is really convenient for the parking and the ferries across to Dartmouth, although there are quite a few steps involved. Wendy the host was very helpful and the level of information supplied was excellent. Overall we had a lovely stay in this wonderful house and would recommend it whole heartedly.
Fantastic property looking across the Dart to Dartmouth. 25 second walk to either passenger ferry or ‘lower’ car ferry.
Very clean and beautifully decorated with all the amenities you could wish for. Such good communications and particularly helpful sorting out car parking tickets for us in advance of our arrival. I cannot recommend this enough.
Every member of our six strong party thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend at Morocco house. The location was perfect with easy access to the ferry and everything else the area has to offer. The house was spotless and we all agreed we would love to return.
A very good property to stay in, good location, ferry handy to use to get access to Dartmouth, where most of cafes/restaurants are. Good walks, we did not need to use the car for 5 days !
We were looking for a quality property and Morocco House did not disappoint. The house is beautifully kept, we had everything we needed; we were very comfortable.
The views across to Dartmouth and beyond from every window are stunning.
The location is perfect, just down the steps to the little ferry and the railway station. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We had a lovely stay at Morocco House. The bedrooms and bathrooms were lovely. Everything smelt new and fresh. There was everything available in the kitchen to suit our needs and we loved all of the little sea themed ornaments. A really well planned/thought out holiday home. We would definitely stay again. Really pretty location with stunning views from each bedroom.
We've just spent the most wonderful week in Morocco House! Wendy was very helpful throughout the booking process and during our stay. The house was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything needed for our stay.
The views are amazing, with the added bonus of a little garden with garden room offering great views of the Dart. Needless to say we did a lot of eating outside!
Thank you Wendy for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage!!
A perfect retreat. Views to die for and the house is extremely well equipped with everything you might need. Ferry great fun and just down the steps from the house. You will not be disappointed if you book this property, we are already thinking of coming back. Absolutely loved it.
Much preferred being on this side of the ferry this time round, Kingswear is peaceful and you are able to walk the coastal paths with the dog and relax. The house is perfectly positioned for nipping across on the ferry for dinner and for nosying at all the boats and comings and goings. Great holiday
Very close to the ferry to Dartmouth which is cheap and shuttles back and forth. Lovely pubs and restaurants within walking or ferry distance plus lots of walks. We only used the car once to explore beaches further afield
Wonderful house - probably the best we’ve ever stayed in
A beautiful home with quality furnishings - we loved it! Excellent communication from the owner. We had a wonderful time exploring the area - the ferry makes trips back and forth to Dartford so easy. Be sure to visit the Seahorse restaurant and Kents Caverns - and a walk along the coastal path from the house offers some breathtaking views.
A beautiful ,elegant, house in a fantastic location. Close to great transport links to see the area. We even came home early one day just to enjoy the house and relax in the garden and soak up the amazing views. Outstanding views from all rooms especially the attic room at night. Lots of lovely touches and everything you need in the kitchen. You do need to be able to do stairs inside and out of the property though. A truly relaxing wonderful stay. We will be back. Thank you.
A really great property, conveniently situated for Dartmouth.
Property well appointed with lovely views over the river Dart, we never tired of looking at the boats.

About the host
Hosted by Wendy Head moortoseacottages
We are Mark, Wendy & Ellie and we live on Dartmoor in Devon with our hens and ducks and a converted barn for holidays. We had owned holiday cottages in a nearby village for 12 years, then took a break to bring up our daughter. We also had the opportunity to purchase property in Rock, Cornwall which are successful as holiday rentals. We have now had the amazing opportunity to purchase Morocco House, with its stunning views and complements our other properties. It has a 'home from home' feel which is important so you can relax and enjoy your holiday. We have added things we have collected over the years to make it feel homely for our guests. If you wish to plan a two centre holiday we aim to provide short breaks at different locations except in high season. The South Hams is a special place as you will discover.

Why they chose this property
Simply stunning location with everything close at hand. It is on the South West coast path for amazing walks, with beaches nearby and many towns and villages to visit. National Trust properties to explore or just sit in the garden and watch the river 'traffic'. Dartmouth across the ferry provides and abundance of shops, restaurants, museums and places of interest. The steam train from Kingswear takes you to Paignton (beach stop along the way) and boat trips on the river to Greenway (Agatha Christie) or to historic Totnes. The highlight of the year is the Dartmouth Regatta, with street markets, river races, fun activities and fireworks, usually last week in August.
What makes this property unique
Excellent position, village atmosphere yet close to bustling Dartmouth. Simply breathtaking views of the river Dart, across to Dartmouth and the Royal Naval College on the hill. Very close to vehicle and passenger ferry to Dartmouth and glorious beaches and coastline beyond. Character property, quirky yet comfortable with all you would expect from a quality holiday home.
