The main living areas are comfortable, but guests suggest the double bed mattress could be improved to enhance comfort. The bedrooms are adequate in size, though updates could further improve comfort levels.

The view from the window was superb. The location mark suffered only because there was no parking nearby. It is a 15 minute steady walk up a gentle hill but we didn't mind that it was a good way to walk off dinner.The bedrooms were not large, but large enough if you don't mind shuffling around the end of the bed in the night to go to the loo.The bathroom was clean and had a good shower.There were plenty of implements and pans for cooking.The lounge was large with the dining table positioned to make the most of the view across the river.The property was generally clean but there was an unfortunate smell of animal urine in the second bedroom. Not the fault of the owner, more a careless pet owner but it probably should have been detected by the cleaners, depending on when the cottage was last used. It didn't matter too much for us as we did not use that room.Overall, we would book the cottage again but it is not for someone looking to get out of the car and into the house. But then there probably are not many places that offer that in old Dartmouth. There was a useful little pull in (with yellow lines) that was convenient for dropping off our luggage at the beginning and end of the holiday.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the main living areas and kitchen were all very well equipped and comfortable The bedrooms could do with a little updating and so could the bathroom The only thing that I would definitely recommend is that you change or give the curtains on the doors a thorough wash - they are very very grubby All in all we would stay again as we loved the view - a view we know very well from many a stay in Dartmouth Thank you
