What our customers say about their holidays

  The property is well placed to enjoy the town and all amenities of Dartmouth.

  It is very central and 10min walk to centre. Although there is no parking space at the property, a permit for one vehicle is provided to park in town. The house is very stylishly decorated, modern and up to date decor. Lots of storage, very comfortable beds and well fitted kitchen. The bathroom and shower room are lovely with good water pressure in both. There is so much to do in Dartmouth itself, for two days we didn't use the car! We walked to Dartmouth Castle and Castle cove. We were lucky to see a dolphin in the cove. There is a lovely cafe next to the castle. We caught a small ferry/water taxi back, make sure you take cash to pay the ferry man. On another day we crossed the river and caught the steam train to Paignton and back for a cruise on the river Dart. 3 trips to the beach - Bantham beach for body boarding and Bigbury to catch sea tractor to Burgh Island and enjoy crab sandwich at Pilchard Inn. Another beach we enjoyed is Blackpool Sands (not sandy) a sheltered bay with good swimming. Bigbury and Bantham beaches are sandy. There is an abundance of places to eat in Dartmouth and our favourites, Alf Resco for brunch, Floating Bridge and Rockfish for dinner. There is a great butcher just next to the market place at the end of the road when you walk into town. Also a French bakery next to the market, down one of the narrow lanes. We didn't have time to take a ferry trip to Dittisham where we planned crabbing on the pontoon, we also wanted to go paddle boarding but hopefully do them next time. Very enjoyable and Hillside is the perfect place to stay.

  The property itself is fantastic.

  A very modern barn conversion in a lovely location. Beds were very comfortable although I think an option for a harder pillow is necessary for those with that preference. There was no way of cleaning the toilets during our stay. On arrival, the property seemed unclean, lots of dust and cobwebs in easily accessible areas. There was dirty washing in the dishwasher, presumably from previous guests. Windows weren’t very clean at all. Pool table was slanted despite this being a major selling point for the property, so a bit disappointed with that although I did not stop us from using it each night. Lighting wasn’t great above the table and sometimes it was hard to see which ball was which colour (mainly when playing snooker). Hot tub is great. Although, with it being wood fired it takes time to heat up. This is not always possible with days out etc and by the time it has heated, it would be pushing well into the night. I know this is not the case for everybody. Have to say that the maintenance team were great as there were a couple of issues during our stay which were fixed straight away. Communication with them via e-mail was quick and easy. Lots of flies at the property which is understandable as it is on a working farm. The fly spray provided did not quite cut it unfortunately. I think this needs looking at (if possible). I hope this feedback helps in the future. Thanks again for our stay :)

  Fantastic location if "in-town" is what you want, and we did.

  Observations - (1) the small bathroom's extractor fan didn't work so the bathroom got overwhelmed with steam, I mentioned this to the person when I dropped off the key. (2) the small bathroom's door catches on the floor when you open/close it and is extremely annoying. (3) There were oven gloves and tea towels supplied but the description emphasized there weren't for some reason. So we took our own for no reason. Annoying - (1) the small bathroom is actually painfully small, you cannot sit on the loo properly and exiting the shower is just dangerous as the WC is in the way. We ended up all using the larger bathroom with aged grandmother which was what we were trying to avoid in the first place by choosing a property with 2 bathrooms. (2) The big rubbish bin in the kitchen is awful as you have to press down one side with your hand, it needs to be a pedal bin. (3) The position of the dishwasher right next to the sink means you can't get to anything when it's door is open.

  The location was perfect for what we wanted, having the quayside and shops just a few minutes walk away.

  The property was clean and had all the facilities we expected. The only downside to the property is the single glazed sash windows; the seagull dawn chorus and the bin lorry collecting right outside during the early hours of the morning didn't make for a good night's sleep on the first day (not to mention the nearby church bell ringing the hour, every hour). Earplugs are a must if you're a light sleeper. We had to collect the keys from the key box on the side of the office as we were arriving after hours. Putting the address into Google maps sent us to an estate agents office a little walk away from where we needed to be. Would be a good idea to provide a What 3 Words address or similar for late arrivals. However, we found it in the end and had a fantastic few days stay. Would recommend to anyone with ear plugs :)

  We had a lovely holiday in Dartmouth.

  The little clock house was perfect for us. The location was spot on, central to everything. The apartment was clean and had all that we needed. The only thing we would say is there was no information about the area from the owners, most places we have stayed had a folder with local information. We have always found this helpful and informative and a nice friendly way to welcome visitors to their property. We had a very long journey 12 hours so we arrived late, we needed to go out and search for a shop to buy milk for a drink. Usually there is a welcome pack with simple basic things. It’s the little things that make a difference. Once we found our bearings we had a lovely holiday staying in the clock house and the very beautiful Dartmouth.
