  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 :)

  Back home and now reflecting on our 9 days in Dartmouth at Estuary House & Annexe.

  What can I say, this was a perfect location for Regatta week, our 3rd visit to the Regatta. The house is extremely comfortable, very well equipped, has absolutely 5 star views over the river and the estuary. The annexe was perfect for my two older grandkids and made them feel independent and grown up. The rental cost is on the high side but you get what you pay for, we will certainly rebook! One point to mention is parking which is at a premium in Dartmouth. If there are 2 reasonably large vehicles in a party, you will not have room in the designated area, 2 small vehicles - yes! The roads are very tight and steep up to the house but I had no problem in a long wheel base 7 series BMW. So no drama there. The walk to town is a a doddle (all down hill). Be aware that coming back is a bit of a challenge! However, I am a reasonably fit 73 year old and I and my family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed the work-out. Do not be put off, it’s all more than worthwhile! In conclusion, a lovely house, in an amazing location, with beautiful views, in a magical town. Sykes Cottages are excellent to deal with, I’ve used them several times and would recommend. Thanks for a great experience for my family!

  We had an absolutely fantastic week in this amazing property.

  Sunrise at the property is truly spectacular and we could not believe how busy the harbour was in November. I celebrated my 60th birthday and the house made it a memorable occasion. The views are brilliant and the space is great for adults. A little scary driving in and out because the road is 2 way and very, very narrow but once you are in it is well worth the trip! The walk to town is so short and we certainly improved our fitness climbing the steps from town 2 or 3 times a day. I have a few suggestions for you to consider to improve on this beautiful place. 1) Provide an oven glove 2) Consider having a parking permit for town (especially whilst there is extensive building works going on at several properties on the road) We had 5 adults and would have normally had 3 cars but came in 2 but if you had 8 adults a permit would be great for another car. 3) Clean/ replace the Gtech K9 filter. ( fortunately we have one so we cleaned it out and then were able to hoover)

  The house is lovely but just a few comments.

  1. The conservatory has 3 separate leaks in the roof and as we had heavy rain on 2 nights we spent a lot of time mopping up rain water. 2. The fridge in the kitchen was hanging off the hinges when we arrived, luckily my husband is a handyman and mended it. We have taken a photo of the fridge before it was mended. 3. The very large tree in front of the sitting room window which blocks a considerable amount of the view from there, this was particularly disappointing as the reason we booked the house was for the views. I feel it has grown considerably since the photos were taken as it blocks the view totally of the opposite bay. 4. The cleaning requirements asked us to put all our bedding into black bags, but these were not left for us. I phoned the Coast and Country agents and asked for some but they didn't appear. I left a note for the cleaners to this affect. In the current climate, this should have been correctly sorted out.

  Lovely property, with breath taking views.

  Real homely feel with good facilities and everything you need. My only criticism is the main bedroom is not a king size bed, it's 2 singles pushed together, where they don't really meet in the middle as mattress losing their shape. This really needs changing to king size mattress. Also disappointing no proper welcome pack not even fresh milk, little things like this make huge difference. Bonus of car park space is a huge luxury as mentioned before very narrow street up to property, if someone comes your opposite way, prepare for a Mexican standoff and having to reserve some tight spaces. However have a Audi A5 and got through no issues. Altogether lovely home and as we fell in love with Dartmouth we would have no hesitation in booking this property again.
