Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Harbour Cottage to be clean and well-presented upon arrival. However, a few guests reported issues with dust, grease, and general cleanliness that affected their experience. The property seems to maintain good standards, but there is room for improvement in ensuring consistency.
The location of Harbour Cottage is highly praised for being central and convenient, with easy access to the town and waterfront. The provision of a garage is a significant plus, although there were occasional difficulties with access due to neighbouring businesses.
Guests generally found the property to be very comfortable, with luxurious bathrooms and furnishings. Some guests experienced issues with regulating the heating and managing noise from outside, which impacted their comfort, particularly during sleep.
The property is equipped with high-quality appliances and offers a range of facilities, including multiple bathrooms and SMART TVs. Some guests suggested improvements in heating controls and the provision of basic cleaning products. The absence of a microwave was noted as a minor inconvenience.
While guests have expressed appreciation for the property's amenities and the welcome cleaning pack, there is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful gestures that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, 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 local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. 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 picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

Its location near to the waterfront is good and the provision of a garage is extremely useful. Unfortunately, there were several times that the garage was blocked by the angling club and upholstery shop. Whilst we were able to manuever our vehicle into the garage or get the offending vehicle moved it was off putting, especially when arriving back late and having to negotiate the gap with an inch to spare. The businesses opposite werenât the only annoying neighbours. The seagulls were extremely loud, particularly in the top floor bedroom which has a velux window that they regularly marched across. It led for most nights being disturbed in the early hours. Those negatives aside, this property is really well equipped and should be considered for its location alone. A couple of improvements I would suggest are the provision of some basic cleaning products like bleach and anti-bac (this is possibly the first Iâve stayed in that didnât have these) and frosting on the bathroom windows facing the street, which otherwise require blinds down and lights on (the rear bathroom is frosted). I would consider a future stay and recommend to others.

Plenty of SMART TVs everywhere. And a bathroom to every bedroom. We were a party of 2 grandparents, 2 parents and two young children and there was plenty of space. No scenic views as on a side street, which was quiet (except for the fledgling seaguls at 5 a.m.) while we were there. Very short walk to quayside and shops. The other thing to note is the flight of stairs which are quite tight in places...and 39 steps from the hall to the top bedroom.
