The apartment is frequently described as very clean, with several reviews highlighting exceptional cleanliness. One review mentions dust, but this seems to be an isolated comment amidst overall high praise for the property's tidiness.
The central location in Dartmouth, with its proximity to local amenities and the inclusion of private parking, is highly valued by guests. The scenic views add to the location's appeal, making it a standout feature.
Comfort is generally well-received, with guests finding the apartment and beds comfortable. However, there are mixed opinions on the firmness of mattresses and the comfort of the sofas, suggesting room for improvement.
Facilities are considered excellent by some, particularly the well-equipped kitchen. Criticisms include the need for updates to sofas and showers, and some minor maintenance issues. The presence of good quality cutlery and crockery is noted, but there's a call for improvements in the bathrooms.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

It is very comfortable and well equipped, as well as spacious. My only slightly negative points are, the low water pressure (which I assume is what it is for the area), and as reported when I handed back the keys, a couple of issues with the en-suite shower. The riser rail for the shower head is loose at the bottom, and I think the shower head and hose should be replaced. In addition, one of the shower doors has a tendency to come away from its track at the bottom. That said, we would be happy to book this apartment again, if we come to Dartmouth.

Our only gripe was the fair which arrived at the beginning of the week. We knew it was Regatta week, and did see a small addition to the listing which said the fair was on the carpark opposite. However we did not realise that it would be literally the first thing we saw from the windows! The noise and general disturbance was horrendous and we ended up spending each day and most of the evening elsewhere - not at all what weâd planned. So we wonât be visiting in Regatta week again. However the apartment was clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we could need. Perhaps the larger sofa could do with changing, but the other one was fine. The underground parking is a huge bonus, pity the shutter was broken but apparently the work is due to be done. Definitely the biggest apartment weâve stayed in at Dartmouth House, and one weâd stay in again - just not during Regatta week!

Good views and quite comfortable . Maybe the 3 piece suite could be put on special risers as we found it a bit low . Also maybe a choice of pillows soft , medium , firm . The beds themselves we found were very comfortable .
