Guests say
Guests have had a positive experience at 41 Dart Marina, praising its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and convenient location. The property is well-equipped and offers lovely views, with some guests appreciating the welcome pack. While there are minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvements, the overall sentiment is that the property provides a pleasant stay and many would return.
The property consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness, with several reviews mentioning it was 'spotless' upon arrival. This indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained at the property.
The location is highly regarded for its proximity to Dartmouth town, ease of access to local attractions, and the bonus of a private parking space. The scenic views and the ability to walk into town are frequently appreciated.
Comfort is well-received with mentions of comfortable beds and a spacious living area. Some guests noted the property can be warm and suggested lighter duvets, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped apartment and appreciated extras like a lift and parking. However, there are comments about specific maintenance issues such as the hob, toilet flush, and dishwasher, which slightly lower the score.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack, there is not enough consistent detail across the reviews to accurately score the thoughtfulness of the property in terms of gifts or special touches. Therefore, this score is set to null.
About this property
This two-bedroom duplex apartment is located in the heart of Dartmouth, making the most of the river views over towards Britannia Halt and the Dartmouth-Kingswear Higher Ferry. 41 Dart Marina is a delightful base to return to after a day exploring the South West Coast Path, the golden beach at Blackpool Sands and all the waterfront attractions of the town centre. Bring your family or a couple of friends along to share a memorable break in this stunning part of the country. Park your car up in the allocated space and access your holiday apartment via the staircase or the lift and feel welcomed into the entrance hallway, where you can kick off your shoes and hang up your coats before making yourselves at home. Find the well-presented bedrooms straight ahead of you, served by the family bathroom, which is ideal for long hot soaks in the evening or refreshing, morning showers. Climb the staircase to the living spaces, where you will find a desk on the landing for those hoping to catch up on some work during their stay. Head through to the spacious, open-plan living room and simply enjoy a spot of relaxation time together, throw open the French doors on a balmy afternoon and take in the beautiful scenery as a cool breeze sweeps through. Cook up a tasty meal in the well-appointed kitchen and get together in the sunny dining area as you catch up on the day you've just had. Later, unwind on the large sofa in the sitting area and tune into the TV or get a board game out on the coffee table for a competitive evening with your loved ones. The Dartmouth Higher Ferry crosses the tidal River Dart to the colourful village of Kingswear, which offers a lovely day out with the family. Choose to browse its plethora of shops and grab a drink at one of the pubs once you have discovered its castle and the National Trust property Coleton Fishacre, or instead enjoy all the waterfront action back in Dartmouth. The Dart Music Festival is an annual affair, as is the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, both offering exciting days out if you are choosing to visit at this time. You cannot miss a picturesque journey to Paignton on the Dartmouth Steam Railway and a picture-postcard day out can be had on the golden beach at Blackpool Sands, so make sure your bring your bucket and spade with you. Choose this fabulous retreat for that much-needed holiday in Devon.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the River Dart estuary in the South Hams area of South Devon. It offers a waterfront, narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. The South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes offer cycling and walking opportunities, or a trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway to Paignton may be on the agenda.

The apartment was beautifully decorated and very clean and comfortable. It felt like our home for the week. A great base for enjoying the area without needing to take the car out every day. It was somewhere nice to come back to and relax as part of the whole holiday experience. Thank you.

That's not to say it couldn't be improved upon. for instance, I couldn't find any oven gloves (we managed), and the shower could be better. Although we didn't use the supplied fans, given that the apartment is warm, the option of lightweight summer duvets would have helped. But, all in all, we'd happily stay there again.

Lovely well equipped apartment we felt very comfortable there. We didnât want to come home! We were very lucky with the weather had some nice sunshine apart from Thursday when the rain didnât stop. We really enjoyed sitting on the lawned area in front of the Dart Hotel and enjoying a G&T in the late afternoon from the pop up bar. We would love to come back and stay again.
