Guests say
Larkrise in Dartmouth is praised for its superb river views, excellent location, and well-equipped kitchen and living areas, making it an ideal base for exploring the town and surrounding countryside. Guests appreciate the peaceful atmosphere and convenience for families. Some minor issues were noted, such as occasional damp smells, maintenance needs, and parking challenges, but these did not detract significantly from the overall positive experience. The property is particularly valued for its views and proximity to local attractions.
Most guests found the property generally clean, especially the bathroom and main living areas. However, a few mentioned issues such as a smell of animal urine in one bedroom and grubby curtains, suggesting that cleanliness could be improved in some areas.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the views over the River Dart and the proximity to Dartmouth's town centre and walking routes. Some mention the uphill walk and parking distance, but overall, the setting is considered a major highlight.
Guests found the cottage comfortable for families, with a spacious lounge and well-equipped kitchen. Some noted small bedrooms, a double bed that could be improved, and occasional damp or odours, but most still enjoyed a relaxing stay.
The property is well equipped for self-catering, with plenty of kitchen accessories and a good shower. Some maintenance issues were reported, such as a faulty fridge, TV, and the need for a new mattress or paint, but these were balanced by positive comments about the amenities.
There were no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Best value for money accommodation in this area. View was amazing, nice relaxing and peaceful. Ideally situated. Had everything you needed for self-catering. Only downside was due to the age of house was the damp. If its not sorted then will get out of control. Once aired well, became a lot better.I would without a doubt stay again.

Superb waterfront views from large kitchen-sitting room. Kitchen well equipped with crockery, dishwasher and microwave. Bedrooms are quiet but small and a bit gloomy. The double bed is small. The apartment is about 20 uneven steps up from the road and on street parking is about 70 metres away, so may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.
