We loved our stay at 44 Above Town.
The view from the sitting room is stunning and it was so enjoyable just to sit and watch the activity on the river, also to be able to walk down so quickly into the town to mooch, or eat in one of the many great eateries that Dartmouth offers. We were able to find free parking in the road above Above Town and left the car there all week as we could do all we wanted on foot or by ferry while we stayed there. It does require a good level of fitness due to the steep climb up from the town to the house. The whole place has been beautifully decorated and we appreciated the lovely shower (we only used the main one) and plentiful storage space. A few things could make it even better: the seating in the lounge was not comfortable. We reported one of the sofas needing to be replaced as the springs had completely gone. The other was ok, but we've sat on better! The kitchen stools were not particularly comfortable but we understand the choice of the built in breakfast bar/dining table. There is barely enough seating for 6 in the sitting room (there were only 2 of us, but it is advertised for 6) and the current seating does not make the most of the view. A couple of chairs that can be positioned to enjoy the view out of the window would be great (we used two of the outdoor seats, bringing them upstairs while we were staying there). But again, there were only 4 of those, which would not work for outdoor seating if 6 people were staying. Likewise only 4 wine glasses were provided - I guess it is assumed that the bunks will only be used by children? But you could make it usable with older 'children' or groups of friends, by providing a full 6 of everything. We would have appreciated a cafetière (we don't like the waste of Nespresso pods, so we didn't use that) and a tea pot; also some way to recycle plastics, bottles and paper, as they were collecting these separately from other places on Above Town. There was no toilet brush in the top toilet. A curtain would be useful in the main bedroom, as the only ventilation is by keeping the door open, which means the blinds in the door don't do anything re the light. But we loved it. Thank you!

We spent two weeks in this lovely cottage in the centre of Dartmouth.
Having read a negative review just before leaving we were pleasantly surprised. The best thing about the house is definitely the view from the top floor and we spent time just sitting with a cuppa (and occassionally a take-away cream tea) looking out at the comings and goings in the harbour below. For us the house was wonderfully well-equipped. Especially the kitchen. We like tea and usually take our own teapot but the house has one! And a water jug! Half way through our two weeks the agent contacted us and offered us a clean and fresh sheets and towels. They are local so you can easily contact them about any issues you may have - we didn't need to. It was good to have a parking permit for the carpark which is only a short walk from the house and there is space in the road to drop off on arrival and as you leave. Although the house is central to the town it is not overly noisy. The shops have everything you need and many luxuries you don't! We chose to look round the town in the mornings and late afternoons when it was quieter. Fish and chips, fudge, ice cream and cream teas abound as well as lots of pubs and eateries to chose from. There are lots of things to do locally; use the ferry to Kingswear, take a boat trip down the river , walk to Agatha Christie's summer home, visit the castle, take the steam train to Paignton and look round the Royal Naval College. There are also beaches where you can swim and a multitude of water sports. The house is on four floors. The living room is comfortable and has a TV which even technophobes like ourselves can work! The beds are comfortable and two bathrooms mean you can space out a little. The dining table in the kitchen sits 6 and as said earlier the kitchen is well equipped with storage space for our own provisions. The washer dryer was great as was the dishwasher. Two small issues: the stairs between the four floors are quite steep and the water pressure was not great. One small improvement I would make would be a little table in the room with the view for a table to put your cream tea on!

**Review for Vantage Point Accommodation** Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the accommodation was fantastic!
However, there were a few areas for improvement that we noticed during our visit: - The main double bedroom with the heating system was quite noisy, producing a knocking sound. Soundproofing the cupboard could help avoid disturbing guests. - None of the bedroom doors had locks, except for the bathroom and toilet. It would be helpful to have child-friendly locks for added privacy. - The bottom drawer of the freezer was broken. - In the double bedroom to the left of the stairs, we found a spider in the bed sheets. This might be due to how or where the sheets are stored. - It would have been helpful to know ahead of time that the sauna wasnât working, especially as this was one of the key features that influenced our booking. - The main door leading to the jacuzzi area didnât lock, so we had to place items near it at night for extra security. - Since we traveled in winter, the living room was quite cold, and it seemed the owners controlled the heating. Thankfully, reception provided us with two electric heaters, which made a big difference. - The whirlpool jets in the baths need better maintenance. We experienced floating debris when turning on the jets, which was unpleasant. These are just some housekeeping issues we noticed during our stay. That said, Vantage Point was absolutely stunning, and it was such a pleasure waking up to the beautiful views every day. We were welcomed with a lovely Christmas tree, mince pies, and some local treats, which added a festive touch to our visit. Weâll definitely consider returning during the warmer monthsâthank you for the wonderful experience!

Aeolus house is well situated in Dartmouth and the view from the top floor is wonderful and really makes up for the lack of facilities, old and tired furnishings and kitchen equipment, stained carpets and marked walls!
A clothes airer that collapses when full of clothes, no room in the kitchen cupboards for food as they're full of unnecessary items. The house was tidy but not clean! Dirty pans in the cupboard, food crumbs inside the fridge and stuck to the side. The stairs are quite narrow and steep, something to consider when booking as it's over 4 floors, It became very tiresome to prepare for the day! The top floor bedroom with the king size bed was lovely, although the ceiling slopes away and makes it difficult to get in and out of the bed without twisting your back! The view from the landing at the top is absolutely spectacular, most evenings spent with a cup of tea watching the ferry going back and forth, great viewpoint of Dartmouth! Take ear plugs the seagulls are really really loud from very early on. We were lucky with great weather and made the most of the local areas, Paignton via steam train a must, paddle board off Strete beach lots of fun, Totnes a lovely town with amazing pasties and boat hire on the river Dart. If you love seafood especially fish and chips..... Rockfish is well worth booking a table, absolutely delicious, very well catered for kids too with a wonderful pack of goodies and lovely friendly staff! The Dartmouth arms is good for a pint in a plastic cup that you can take out to sit by the river but don't waste your money on the food it was grim and expensive! There is a lovely large play area at coronation park for kids, tennis court, playing field and a fab cafe. We had a wonderful time in Dartmouth and will definitely return but not to this property!

After the initial wow factor of this property you start to notice it's failings, It was clearly a very stylish and well planned property much loved by it's owners as the furnishings and fittings clearly show, but now the property looks clearly un-loved!
. Please read following: Dead mouse found in bathroom cupboard in bedroom nearest to parking space. Skylight dirty needs cleaning. Decking needs a clean and re-sealing. Hand rail around the decking needs re- sealing. Glass banister around decking needs cleaning, covered in green algae at the edges and full of spiders webs. Pots on decking need weeding. The garden below the decking and each side of the drive way needs sorting, it's over grown and migrating on to the already narrow drive (about 3 MTRS wide) then over grown on to it, it looks like it was well planned but not maintained or looked after. Patio furniture in poor condition, it's usable but the hardwood table top needs sealing and some of the chairs have the paint off them leaving corroded aluminium behind. Overall we had a good stay and were well catered for views of wild life were wounderful, fixing the above would have made it perfect. Overall I would say the property was a 3+/4- out of 5. Would we come back? Probably! Although the beds were VERY firm for us.
