Central, Classic style, Private and Parking

Superb stay and comfort in this property. But, (and it is a big but) if you have a normal to largish car, it will only half fit in the garage, thus making it an impossible stay. If any of the car is left sticking out of the garage, then the owner of the drive (not the owner of twenty unfortunately) will insist upon you moving your vehicle. We had to call an ambulance for one of the family and it was a worrying time, but he still insisted the car be moved. Very unreasonable chap. Would not book this place again unfortunately as a result of his behaviour, which is a great shame as the property itself was really lovely. We were thrilled with it. Our car had to be parked in another street, making it quite a steep walk to get back to the house and one of us is disabled. So not ideal by a long way.

The house was very comfortable and a fantastic location. A couple of negatives however. The main one being that I parked my car (front in first) with the bonnet under the entry, some kind of liquid had dripped onto the bonnet which removed the surface of the paint. The other point (minor but unnecessary) the BBQ had not been cleaned.

Great location right on the edge of town and with the benefit of a parking space below. Garage is tight but we managed okay with our estate size car, everyone has to get out before you go in and get anything out of the boot as ours would have hit the roof! House was dusty in areas with a few cobwebs but this did not spoil our stay. Well equipped with lovely private patio which gets the sun most of the day. Seagulls are very vocal on the roof early doors as they are across town! Overall a lovely stay and we would return.

We enjoyed our stay

The Wi-Fi didn’t work after all our efforts to fix it, I even reset it back to factory which should have reinstated the original password.. However, this didn’t spoil the holiday, but turned out to be the least of the problems. The downstairs bedroom remained musty as the radiator didn’t work at all, I tried bleeding it, and put the stat up to max, but still nothing. This will have contributed to the damp musty smell, that caused our friends wife to use one of the singles upstairs. Worst problem and really unacceptable was the shower. The upstairs one only works for a minute before running out of water and making the pump scream – this was even though the control was at less than half full on. It was even worse when the shower downstairs was running at the same time as neither worked for long. The downstairs one worked reasonably well provided the pump wasn’t turned full on. Even then we had to wait between showers for the tank to refill. Thank God we didn’t have 6 of us after all, as it would have taken all morning to shower. Clearly the hot and cold supplies to the two showers are inadequate. As an aside, I would also comment that the upstairs cubicle is very small, and in such a big bathroom they could have fitted a far bigger enclosure. I struggled to get down to wash my feet until the shower stopped and I had to go downstairs covered in soap!! I'm not massive.... Finally, the information really should advise the garage dimensions, as we only just got our Skoda Kodiaq in, which is a reasonably large SUV, but larger vehicles like Range Rover, Discovery, Volvo XC90 and the like just would not fit. As it was, I could only just get out of the car once parked. All of this is a great shame, as the property itself was lovely, well equipped and in a perfect location. We will come to Dartmouth again, in fact we stayed in one of your cottages two years ago, but we wouldn’t stay at Number 20 again unless the shower and Wi-Fi were fixed, and we would bring a smaller car. We would also recommend it is these matters were resolved I hope you find these criticisms constructive.

This property is larger than it looks in the photos and is in a good central location near the river. One garage space only under the accommodation but a rare find in town. The garden was large, if slightly uncared for, and great for our two dogs except for a lack of gate to one access stairway. We reported this and the owners are to be asked if they will provide one. We built a barricade with a wheelbarrow etc. from the garden. All was beautifully clean and well equipped. The furnishings are eclectic but so much nicer than the usual IKEA lookalikes. We did a bit of DIY on the rotary dryer which was tossed on the grass along with the ground spike. We set it up on the parasol base.

We stayed for Christmas and had a great time in a great location, just 2 minutes away from the centre of Dartmouth. Lovely and clean and a private garage for 1 car although it'd be a struggle with a really big car in. All in all really happy with everything.

Clean, comfortable and fab location close to town.

Fiona helped us solve any issues we had

We had an enjoyable 2 weeks at this property, the first week with friends and the second week with family including two children. Everything worked well and as we had lovely weather so was out and about everyday. The property was accurately described in the advert.
