Guests say
Guests have enjoyed stays at Hawkins, praising its spaciousness, superb location, and the convenience of garage parking. The characterful accommodation is well-suited for families and groups, with its proximity to town and amenities. While some guests noted areas for improvement, these did not detract from the overall positive experiences.
Most guests found the house clean, though one mentioned dust on furniture. The overall impression is of a well-kept property, but with room for improvement in thoroughness.
The location is consistently highlighted as superb, with easy access to the town, markets, and local attractions. The availability of garage parking is a significant plus.
The property is described as comfortable, particularly the double beds, and the heating system is effective. However, some guests suggested that the single bed mattresses and kitchen utensils could be updated for enhanced comfort.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped house and warm environment. Points were deducted for maintenance issues such as the need for a new dishwasher, tricky showers, and minor repairs.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

This is what I call a rustic property, it fully suited our needs of two families and had plenty of space.Only points I would raise is that some of the kitchen cooking utensils could do with replacing. The mattresses on the single beds could do with replacing.Showers were ok but a little difficult to set/control the flow/warmth of the water.The above didn’t stop from having a lovely stay and the location of the property was superb.Also the garage parking was an asset considering the lack of parking in Dartmouth.
