This summary has been generated using feedback from guests who have stayed at this property

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.

Cleanliness

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.

Location

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.

Comfort

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

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.

About this property

7 Nelson Steps is an elevated three storey pet-friendly property enjoying stunning river and sea views. The property provides a delightful base from which to enjoy the delights of Dartmouth with its array of pubs, restaurants and boutique shops and the wider South Devon coast and countryside.

The property is accessed either up or down 43 external steps into the spacious mid-level hallway with staircases leading up to the living accommodation and down to the third bedroom. The sitting room is a light and spacious room with triple aspect windows and is furnished with a double sofa, armchairs and two large window seats offering river views.

Bedroom one is furnished with a King-size bed and benefits from an en suite shower room, bedroom two has two singles beds and a en suite/shared family bathroom with panelled bath and shower over. The third bedroom, situated on the lower floor, is primarily designed for children with bunk beds, single bed and a trundle bed (available on request).

Garage parking is available for one small/medium sized car in Above Town. The property is child friendly, but not suitable for babies in prams due to the access.

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.
