What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is well placed to enjoy the town and all amenities of Dartmouth.

  It is very central and 10min walk to centre. Although there is no parking space at the property, a permit for one vehicle is provided to park in town. The house is very stylishly decorated, modern and up to date decor. Lots of storage, very comfortable beds and well fitted kitchen. The bathroom and shower room are lovely with good water pressure in both. There is so much to do in Dartmouth itself, for two days we didn't use the car! We walked to Dartmouth Castle and Castle cove. We were lucky to see a dolphin in the cove. There is a lovely cafe next to the castle. We caught a small ferry/water taxi back, make sure you take cash to pay the ferry man. On another day we crossed the river and caught the steam train to Paignton and back for a cruise on the river Dart. 3 trips to the beach - Bantham beach for body boarding and Bigbury to catch sea tractor to Burgh Island and enjoy crab sandwich at Pilchard Inn. Another beach we enjoyed is Blackpool Sands (not sandy) a sheltered bay with good swimming. Bigbury and Bantham beaches are sandy. There is an abundance of places to eat in Dartmouth and our favourites, Alf Resco for brunch, Floating Bridge and Rockfish for dinner. There is a great butcher just next to the market place at the end of the road when you walk into town. Also a French bakery next to the market, down one of the narrow lanes. We didn't have time to take a ferry trip to Dittisham where we planned crabbing on the pontoon, we also wanted to go paddle boarding but hopefully do them next time. Very enjoyable and Hillside is the perfect place to stay.

  Lovely, warm and cosy period cottage with traditional features but all modern conveniences, including Nespresso coffee machine.

  Lovely quality crockery, cutlery etc and sharp kitchen knives, which are so often lacking. Comfortable bed. It was just two of us so we used the first floor bedroom and generously sized shower room, but there was another double and a single room on the second floor with a bathroom with a bath. Bed linen was good quality. Good access to internet and Smart TV apps and lovely, easy to use, gas fire to take the chill off when necessary. Appreciated the bottle of bubbly and initial supply of milk, tea bags, coffee capsules, dishwasher tablets and wash capsules (a second kitchen bin liner would have been useful). Like others we found the car park space tight, especially when the neighbouring space is occupied. My hatchback is described as compact by its manufacturer but at most it's small mid-sized, but it was a squeeze and you have to reverse in or you can't get out of the car. If we had been more than two plus a small dog and driven a larger car we wouldn't have been able to use the space. The ground floor area of the cottage is lovely, but again, we were only two and it would have been tight for space with 4 adults. Very easy walking distance of everything in town. We particularly liked the Dart Cafe as the dog was warmly welcomed. We drove to Brixham via the lower ferry, and went to Kingswear as foot passengers to ride the steam train and back. Easy access to the South Coast Path on a good day too.

  The Old Wash House in Dartmouth is a beautiful property.

  Perfect location for getting into town and it’s a flat walk. We also had parking which is always a bonus. Everything was just about thought of in the house, if they had put clothes in the wardrobes don’t think we would have needed anything. The showers were amazing and the smart TVs a real bonus it meant we could sign into all our steaming services, Netflix, Prime and Now as well having all the catch up services. The courtyard was lovely sit out, once we found the cushions doh! a tiny niggle would be that it’s not secure for the dogs and we quickly learned you have to tie them up or hold their lead to avoid an escape. The third bedroom is up in the eves and isn’t really suitable for anyone older than a teenager, which was fine in our case as that was who was using it. Because of its location that bedroom was also very hot but there is a fan which helped. All in all a great stay and we would come back.

  This is an excellent place to base yourself, just on the outskirts of Dartmouth with a short stroll into town and none of the hassle of having to find parking.

  The pottery was very comfortable and very quiet and we had a great time. Our only feedback was that our ensuite floor wasn’t cleaned very well, with hair on the floor and dusty tile edges that form the skirting, there was also a pair of pants left on the floor behind the bedroom chair, so it hadn’t been pulled out at change over as they would’ve been seen. We appreciate that at this time of year the cleaners must be under pressure to get around and get all the properties ready for the next guests. This bathroom is looking a little tired as the panelling is starting to warp and the flooring showing signs of wear. All the toilets in the apartment are set extremely low and so anyone with mobility problems would struggle, you definitely had to use those thighs to get up and down! All that being said we would book this apartment again as we did enjoy our stay.

  This listing is absolutely wonderful.

  All rooms are spacious and clean. Three guests were working from home during our stay and no problems with the internet or space to work. The property had every facility that we could hope for, backed up by helpful additions of dishwasher tablets etc, very thoughtful. I think that the listing does not do justice to the amazing views from this property, step onto the balcony and the views are breathtaking and it feels as if you are part of the river traffic. Just spectacular. Our only problem was with Sykes Cottages, impossible to get hold of anyone to ask for the twin beds to be put together as one bed. After a circuitous route and long wait I was eventually assured this would be done but on arrival it was not. We had to push the beds together ourselves with single bedding. It feels like Sykes Cotteges take your money and run.
