What our customers say about their holidays

  This was our 3rd stay at this property so in fairness there was little to surprise us.

  However we would like to confirm our comments to your staff and add one other small point. Firstly tho its worth saying that the property is very nice and very well located for the town. We mentioned to the staff that altho we knew that its impossible to get anything larger than, say, a mini along the rear passage and into the rear yard its disappointing that this is not made clear in the property details. We were fortunate this year in that we found, almost straight after arrival, a parking space right outside the front door and because we didn't use the ca=r at all till we left there was no problem in this respect. In previous years we have used the car a lot so that would have been a problem. A Mayor's car park pass would be good, even if a small charge was made for those who wanted to use it. We found the seating/table area at the back of the house really disappointing. It was scruffy, unattractive eg no trellis/flowers and untidy and would not encourage anyone to use it. That was a pity because in the nice weather it would be nice to have breakfast or evening drinks for example outside. As ever Cosat and Country staff were really nice and very efficiently had a small problem with the central heating quickly fixed

  A lovely clean place to stay with everything you need.

  The market opposite was good, as was the little Broadstone Cafe on the corner of Broadstone and Foss St. Only a short walk down the road to the River front and transport on Boats, Trains and Buses available The parking is okay if you have a mini or something of a very similar size as very tight and many attempts to get in and out with a larger car. I suggest parking on the street outside No7 if you can (we weren't able to as another car was permanently parked there). It doesn't mention anything about parking in the Market carpark which is free but to our Surprise got a parking ticket £70 or £35 if you pay within 28 day's. No mention that you need a parking permit. It would nice to be given an option of a parking permit to use in this carpark. Faults found on arrival. Bath panel was cracked Shower curtain needs to be renewed as very old and has evidence of mould spots. Basin plug chain broken. Blind slat in Front bedroom is broken it has been snapped. Otherwise a very pleasant place to stay and would stay here again.

  We love 7 Charles Street, this is our 6th or 7th visit.

  A couple of things which may prevent us booking the property again and none of these are the property fault, I have had a hip replacement within the last 5 months and found the bed to hard to sleep on, we used the other quilt in the 2nd bedroom as a mattress topper to make it a little softer, I found it difficult this time to get in and out the bath for the shower so we will be looking for a walk in shower next. Like I said neither these two things are the property's fault, it was smart and ultra clean and a perfect location as always. I would like to just say that we have been coming to Dartmouth for the last 14 years, but we would have to reconsider coming again next year because of the cost, we paid £30.40 for 2 fish and 1 portion of chips and a pot of curry sauce from rockfish! also 2 pints of beer from the George and Dragon £12.80!! with a lot of the shops closing down unless Dartmouth do something about the cost of food etc a lot of people we be finding another holiday venue unfortunately.

  If I were judging the property it would be an 'excellent'.

  Beautiful house and super situation so near to the front/town. Only two things were a challenge : no oven gloves or tea towels (dangerous and a nuisance) and the so called parking area. The narrowness of the street though charming made it virtually impossible to get the car in IF AND WHEN THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR in the area! No mention of that in the description!! My car got scratched by the car of the owners in the opposite apartment coz they couldn't park while our car was there. My main gripe is with Coast &Cottages; : a) had to chase several times to get the final details to get in the house b) got cut off when we attempted to book the second week which was suddenly free c) when picking up the keys we were largely ignored by the staff in the office and d) I utterly object to stripping beds at the end of my stay - that's what we pay extra ,money to an agency for! Likely to avoid Coast and Country from now on.

  On arrival at the key holder office the office manager sitting at her desk pointed to a table saying there is an envelop with your name on and the keys are inside, that was the full extent of the instruction she gave.

  We immediately opened the sealed retrieving the keys and proceeded in our vehicle to the car park area in the basement of the building. To enter the apartment building from the parking area, one required a code in which to enter the building security door. I had to return to the office in requesting the code. I was informed that the code was stated on the envelop by the office manager. I replied "it was a pity you didn't inform me of this when collecting the key's" Once more I had a reason to request a second door code to the refuse area. The same office person informed me in a cynical manner, the code is stated on the bin key label. I informed her that there wasn't a code stated on the label, and her reply "well there should be" and informed me of suck. My invalided Wife and I think the Management office personnel should be a lot more helpful and informative than we experience.
