  The property is modern as it forms part of the conversion from the old Narracott Grand Hotel into appartments. It is well appointed with two good bathrooms and two large bedrooms. It is in an excellent position, being close to restaurants, shops, beach etc. Guests need to be on their guard as there is astep down from the lounge area to the kitchen area which caught my wife out several times over the first two days causing her to fall. We resolved it by placing a chair on the step to act as an obstacle and a reminder. Also beware that the wooden bedframes are wider than the mattress and are painful on the shins if you are not very careful. We were a bit dissapointed that the outlook from the lounge was not a lovelly sea view, but a rather unattractive red brick building. The sea view is available, but only really from the very narrow balcony. We had a few operational issues when we first arrived relating to the operation of the central heating and the TV. It was very irritating that the owner was only prepared to communicate by text message. One simple phone call could have resolved our issues but I eventually gave up with the text messages and after two days found a way around the issues myself.

  We both walked into the flat on the first afternoon & both said WOW at the beautiful view from the bay window, it was & is THE most amazing viewpoint we’ve had whilst on holiday in Dartmouth & we’ve been a few times now.

  The flat was lovely, the bed comfortable, kitchen well equipped & the table & chairs in front of the window is perfect for eating dinner at. The only downside was the cleanliness, the kitchen worktop was really ‘sticky’ & there was a smear of food (?) on the surface near the sink so I had to wipe it all down with antibacterial wipes, the inside roof of the microwave was/is filthy…I didnt see why we should clean it as we didn’t use it or intend using it especially after seeing how mucky it was (bits of what looked like cheese/tomato etc stuck/hanging from the inside. Both sofas have big watermarks/stains on the seat cushions & there are marks/stains on the sides & back/top of the sofa, they need an good upholstery clean to get rid of all of the stains. Plus there are scuffs, marks & stains on the walls, one on the wall in the hallway near the bathroom & a few on the side wall in the bedroom near the window.

  Just got back from a weeks holiday in Beer .

  We stayed at apartment 1. Durham house . We walked into a warm and welcoming place. Spotlessly clean and everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay . Right in the heart of the village. The village shop and bus stop across the road . Other facilities, bars, restaurant's chip shop , and shops in a short walking distance. The beach is also nearby, it’s a pebble beach, lots of things to keep you busy. We took the coastal path to Seaton which is quite a hike but if mobile it’s a good walk. We also took the bus to Sidmouth and drove to Lime Regis . . We took our dog with us and everyone in Beer was dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit and stay in the comfort of your own apartment.

  This is a spacious well appointed property in a good position with lovely views.

  We were disappointed on arrival to find that the advertised off road parking did not exist and the response from Sykes was underwhelming. The only parking was on the narrow road outside where vehicles have to drive on the pavement to pass.The top floor bathroom window (plain glass) did not close and kept blowing open and knocking down the totally inadequate net curtain. The garden is accessed by going through the front door onto the pavement (looking out for vehicles) then through a gate at the side of the property past the entrances to two other flats. This was not made clear in the property description

  This was a beautiful house.

  I could not fault it. It was beautifully cleaned throughout. Comfy beds, stunning views of Dartmouth Harbour. Very spacious inside too. I was misled into booking this property. Booking.com advertised private/off-road parking, but, was in fact on-road parking in a very narrow road where cars have to drive on the pavement to leave the road. If I’d have known this in advance, I would not of booked. Sykes have said they managed the property only, they had since updated their description of the parking and absolved themselves. Surely the Owner should take responsibility for the listing?
