Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the property to be very clean and well maintained, with only a few isolated complaints about specific cleanliness issues such as windows and a microwave that needed additional attention.
The location is highly praised for being central, close to the harbour, and convenient for accessing local amenities and attractions. The proximity to a seafood restaurant and the associated smells are noted, but not seen as a significant detractor.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the property is generally seen as well-equipped and spacious, there are several remarks about uncomfortable beds and seating, as well as noise disturbances from seagulls and nearby pubs.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with the property being equipped with necessary appliances and conveniences. However, points are deducted for reported issues with hot water, broken windows, and insufficient instructions for appliance use.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness. Guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

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.
