7 Nelson Steps is a well-loved cottage in Dartmouth, Devon, praised for its stunning views and prime location. Guests appreciate the property's charm, spaciousness, and the bonus of garage parking. While the numerous steps to access the cottage and some maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests returning for multiple stays.
The property generally meets cleanliness standards, but there are instances of oversight such as mould in the bathroom, greasy kitchen appliances, and a dirty BBQ. These appear to be exceptions rather than the rule, as other reviews mention the property being clean and tidy.
The location is highly praised for its incredible views and proximity to local amenities. The convenience of not needing a car during the stay is frequently mentioned. However, the challenging access due to steep steps is a drawback for those with mobility issues.
Guests find the property comfortable, with special mentions of warm, well-equipped spaces and comfortable beds. Some guests suggest updating the twin beds and the living room sofa, indicating room for improvement in comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of a garage. However, there are comments on maintenance issues such as dampness, wobbly beds, and minor security concerns. The lack of basic supplies is also noted.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.
