  Wonderfully positioned, characterful house with fantastic views from the living room and kitchen, day and night.

  Very clean and well kept, with a well-equipped kitchen, and good bathroom and en suite shower room on the mid level. A mostly rainy week meant we couldn’t take advantage of the terraces but again they offer great views. The garage is useful - our BMW 3 Series Estate fitted fairly easily - and at other times there was on street parking readily available within a minute or two’s walk. Minor issues: household supplies were very basic (no kitchen roll or cleaning spray, for example) and only one set of keys provided. The middle floor (two bedrooms and bathroom) smelt a little damp, which is not unusual for coastal homes built into a hillside. There is no damp showing and it’s not enough to affect clothes stored, but if you’re sensitive to the smell of damp it may be a little off-putting. The sofa in the living room is rather tired and uncomfortable but we spent most of our time sitting on the excellent window seats for the views. Care needed at the top of the stairs on the top floor where the flooring is narrow, but that’s just a factor of staying in an old, quirky but fun property. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this house to anyone who can cope with the fitness challenge of the exterior steps!

  Very clean, lovely pictures and plants etc around the apartment, super comfy bed, and located in an ideal position for us, within walking distance to Dartmouth but close to Warfleet Creek to get away from the bustle of the town and walk down to the creek every evening for a quiet drink and sit and listen to the birds. We had no hot water for the last three days, but after reading in the apartment details it would probably take a day to get back to us and discuss our problem, and it had to be an emergency, we decided not to bother as we would then have had only a day left of our holiday. The details in the handbook need updating, vis, incorrect server details for logging on, hob information incorrect, the wrong name of the acomodation was printed on one of the pages, all of this didn't spoil our holiday and we would choose the apartment again as it was clean and comfy and in the right place for us. The details in the handbook could be easily rectified and would add, rather than detract from the company's ratings.

  Constructive observations: Steps to the property are uneven and awkward for small children and anyone with mobility issues.

  Not easy to access the garage due to scaffolding around property above obstructing the pathway (temporary closure notice posted on scaffold). Evidence of recent external building works resulted in us sweeping the lower garden to save walking a considerable amount of grit and dirt back inside the house (we didn’t use the upper garden). Not a major issue but at this price point I wouldn’t have expected to be having to do this. Concrete blocks left near front door (possibly leftover from scaffold) are a trip hazard and need removing. Rainwater down pipes need installing as without them there’s a bit of noise when raining due to splashing of water on to the paths. Privacy blind required in the en-suite. We couldn’t find a mat for the bath or shower; which would have been appreciated. Positive points: Incredible location. Beautiful property. Garage parking (we didn’t use our car once during our stay). We’d definitely stay here again!

  I have been coming to this property for years and we love it.

  The location is great both for the stunning views and the walking distance to all of Dartmouth's lifestyle facilities. The owners take good care of the property and of details that would make your staying more comfortable such us blankets, DVDs, games, good WiFi. The garage is a bonus although you need to be good at manoeuvring the car in a very narrow area. Indeed I would not advise this property to anyone with limited mobility given the numerous uneven and slippery (if wet) steps to access the property. More steps indoor. The kitchen is well fitted and with good quality appliances. It was disappointing that it lacked all the basics you would expect to find such us salt, pepper, foil, kitchen roll etc. It was not very clean too, greasy stove knobs and oven, crumbs on the table, hair in the shower, stained bed sheets and pillow cases. The blankets in the basket need refreshing. Overall it was a very good staying and we will return. Tony & Vittoria

  Beautiful property, location and views.

  High standard, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom and very comfortable beds. The outside area was overgrown on arrival but got rectified the same day, so was a minor plumbing problem. The middle terrace from the kitchen requires TLC and a deep clean and the removal of dead plants. We sat on the top terrace, which was much nicer with amazing views over Dartmouth and enjoyed looking at the sailboats and listening to the seagulls. The street leading up to the property is very narrow and steep and our car could only be brought up to unload bags, as double yellow lines. We didn’t use the garage, as too small for a bigger car but the owner provided a parking permit for the central car park. Overall we had a very enjoyable stay as a family of 4 with two dogs and would recommend the property for its quirkiness. Our girls particularly enjoyed the lower lounge for privacy with its own big smart tv and two comfortable leather sofas.
