  Would love to give 3.

  5 stars because definitely deserved more than 3! The property was beautiful and mainly really clean, thank you! There were a few issues which meant it was not a 4: When we arrived, the bedrooms were freezing cold. Since it took time for the rooms to heat up (and we couldn't see instructions for the radiators) the first night was extremely uncomfortable. It would have helped if someone would have turned on the heating beforehand, and it was a shame that our sleep was disturbed because of this. There was a big draught coming through the bedroom and 'balcony', which even let some water through when it rained, and there were a lot of flying insects around which had obviously been let in when previous occupants opened windows. Beds and bedding were super-comfortable, as was the couch. The property was also really nicely-laid out in a way which maximises the space. We enjoyed using the bright and well-lit kitchen! The water in the property smelled extremely strange - from the sink to the bath, to the shower, which again, disrupted the comfort of using the whirlpool bath, or the facilities at all. Since it gets dark early in the winter, it would be helpful if there was more light by the driveway at night - there was a lantern but it was off, and finding the space was difficult, especially because it is up a small hill. Thank you for the small soaps that were thoughtfully provided. We were surprised to see there was no bar of soap or anti-bacterial handwash, which are usually available in self-catering holiday houses. (Also a bin bag, coffee/sugar and some fairy liquid would seem to be basic, for the first night when guest arrives...) The TV video player remote had run out of battery, which meant DVD could not be paused or controlled by remote, which again, if no batteries are provided, cause guests to have to inconvenience themselves to buy new batteries or manage without. We enjoyed our stay in the property, but were disappointed at the issues with the temperature, water, insects and lack of some basic amenities, which let it down. This is a beautiful property, which could be really spectacular if these issues were ironed out.

  Just returned from a 5 night stay at 2 New Barn Hillfield.

  This was a last minute decision so we were a bit apprehensive about the accommodation as there were only a couple of reviews … however we found the accommodation to be very clean, quite and comfortable. There was a bottle of Rose on arrival which was a lovely touch ,Molton Brown toiletries in the bathroom and all the necessities you needed to start your holiday including dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, rubbish bags etc. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary utensils and crockery, cutlery etc. The beds were very comfortable and the accommodation had an airy, modern, open plan feel. The site was clean and well run with friendly staff. No noise at all from the construction areas and this is well away from 3 New Barn so not in view . Excellent location , close to Dartmouth and the surrounding areas. We also had a courtesy call on the second day from coast and country to check all was well. Would book again! The only thing to mention for future guests is that the doors do slam so if you have a teenager with you like we did who forgets this, you have a rude awakening if you sleep before they do! soft close hinges would be the way to go otherwise it’s putting something in between the door and frame to prevent the slam. Many thanks for a lovely stay.

  It is a bit sad this review as the flat deserves to be treated better than it is.

  It is tired and some things need replacing. Chairs in the lounge have severe water damage. Apparently, the owner is aware but chooses to do nothing. On arrival I could not open the front door. Another resident told me it just needed a little manipulation and he then failed to open it. The lock needs either maintenance or changing. Internally things like toilet seats are discolored, not at all appealing. Bathroom floors and tiles needs attention and the kitchen needs updating. In terms of cleaning, this is difficult because as things are so tired it will be difficult to clean although we did wipe over the cupboards to remove coffee stains, I think. So some attention to detail by the cleaners may help. Badly chipped glasses did not help our overall impression. As I mentioned to your Dartmouth office , you are promoting this flat as a high-end product. In its current state it is not. At some point you must decide if you are prepared to risk your reputation because an owner will not spend on their property. Every year I stay at the Marina hotel a few times. We decided on an apartment to provide us with a bit more flexibility. This we got. Its just a shame about the condition of the property. You do not need to print this, but I would appreciate your thoughts.

  The best two things to mention is the view and the parking space especially if you want to go and see outside Dartmouth .

  The apartment has two bedrooms both have comfy beds although the two singles that have been put together you do tend to roll in to the middle .The kitchen is well equipped if you wish to do a bit of cooking. We ate out a lot as there are several lovely reasonable restaurants.The position of the apartment is very central and you can be in the centre of Dartmouth within minutes .We go to this apartment for the view which is stunning any time of day .The parking space is a fabulous added extra as Dartmouth does get busy even in January . The seating in the apartment is adequate but I did find the setee a bit uncomfortable .The dining room table was infront of the window and I would have preferred 2 comfy chairs there instead .As I think this is where you would spend a lot of your time. The apartment is on the first floor and you share a door with dartview 3 which wasnt't a problem .The apartment was occupied at the time and we didn't hear any noise at all .We have stayed in this apartment too number 3 . Overall we had a relaxing time in Dartview 4 ...The icing on the cake would have been if it was pet friendly then we could have taken the dog .

  4 Dartview has fabulous views and is in a great position for enjoying Dartmouth without lots of difficult steps or big hills.

  The parking space, in a joint garage next door, is tight but a godsend; especially in high season and especially being able to park up, shut the garage and unload or load the car via the back door. The flat is warm and fairly well equipped. The cooking utensils take some finding but they’re in the storage drawer below the cooker. The negatives are that the corridors and doorways are narrow and the sealed cardboard welcome packs are mean - two dishwasher tablets and just one sachet of hot chocolate in a flat for four! The beds are comfy but the fan never turns off in the second bathroom. Having two bathrooms is however, great. We found the staff in the local office friendly and helpful. We didn’t like the clear Perspex coffee/side tables which disappear against the carpet, esp if one’s looking out if the window at the view, and on both our visits here we kept tripping over them! Overall don’t expect cosseting luxury but 4 Dartview is good value for a great view, parking and an easy stroll to the town.
