  Problems at Walter’s Rest:- 1) Serious smell of cooking oil in the apartment on arrival.

  Restaurant below apartment is venting cooking smells upwards through a tube. The smells enter the Children’s Bedroom through a sash window. The window can be moved to close it, but sash lock not working, so window falls down, so it is open all the time. 2) Sash window in living room can be pushed closed, but sash lock broken. This window is large, & drops down by approx 12 inches, & it cannot be closed. Cold can enter the room, gusts of wind, noise from below & seagull noise. 3) Sash window in bedroom can be pushed closed, but lock faulty. Window falls down. 4) Expelair extractor fan not working in bathroom. 5) Shower head faulty. It should be possible to adjust it to spray on the person having the shower. It sprays on the wall instead. 6) Toilet seat is continually moving when it is in use. The seat should be glued to the toilet pan, using bathroom sealant. 7) Serious difficulty in making the front door key open the door. The lock is very dry, & only needs oiling or addition of WD40 to fix it. This is a repeat complaint. 8) When unloading the car, or leaving the property at the end of stay, it is not possible to park legally in Raleigh Street. The description should say the car needs to be parked in a nearby road.

  A gem of a find, the stairs were more than I thought, but was worth lugging the cases down to the most amazing view. The cottage was spotlessly clean and was just the most perfect location, 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. We used the car park suggested with the permit, and didn’t have a problem parking and getting a space, might be an issue in the school holidays. But all in all we had the most wonderful time, would definitely recommend this place to stay unless you had mobility issues, certainly helps to work off all those crab sandwiches, and Devon cream teas going up and down the steps. And I highly recommend the castle hotel pub for food, it was a real surprise how nice their food was in there, we went 3 times it was that good. Another little tip is to get the little boat to the castle, £3 per person each way, and spot the mermaid on the way. Thank you for a perfect staycation, we are already wishing we was back there.

  Good apartment, good location, comfortable.

  Only issues were that there were no instructions to be found anywhere at all for the large appliances ie cooker, washing machine, dishwasher, so we had to guess what setting did what. Ironically the only instructions we could find were for the toaster, which is the one appliance for which you could do without instructions. Also, there were no black bags to be found for leaving the bedding and towels in at the end of the stay as requested, so we folded these and left them on the bed; on day one we had to buy our own roll of kitchen towel as was none although there was a holder for the same; the one small thin square of J-cloth issued for the week was not helpful; the two dishwasher tablets supplied were never going to last a week so we bought some of those too. These are all relatively small and easily rectified issues which if addressed would make the apartment five stars rather than four. Generally, a very good week was had, thank you.

  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.

  Loved our stay thanks to the incredible location but there were a few sticking points for us.

  The smell of the shower drain in the bathroom was really quite overpowering, regardless of use and regardless of the window. We had to swap a few light bulbs around as the bedside light didn't have a bulb? In addition, there are only 2 sockets in the bedroom so it would have been great to have some sort of extension lead so we didn't have to charge devices in a different room if we wanted to use the bedside lights. Given the great stock of kitchen items and tea/coffee facilities, it would have also been a nice touch to include the basics like olive oil for cooking. Similarly, it is great that there is a dishwasher in the property but only one singular tablet was provided. Overall though the stay was pleasant and the location is second to none.
