Location is perfect, right next to the car ferry and a short walk to the shops. The kitchen is extremely well equipped should you wish to cook although we ate out as there are so many places to choose from. Dartmouth is a beautiful place, we enjoyed our breakfast at The Embankment, and ate twice at The Floating Bridge next door to the apartment. They do a great roast dinner and lovely fish and chips. We would love to stay again when next in Dartmouth. Thank you.

The maintenance and cleanliness 10/10 Beds very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. We also enjoyed the views of the river from the lounge. Staying the first week of January is always concern of being warm! The apartment never felt cold. Wonderful location and nice to have Dart Marina Hotel and Spa next door. One little thing we missed of which we have had in other accommodation is a Bluetooth speaker to play music through. Please may I pass on my thanks to Sykes for their swift response sorting out the shower head in the property. I would highly recommend this property for a relaxed stay in Dartmouth.
