Guests that stayed at this property said

The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests noting it as clean, tidy, and well-presented. This suggests that the property is maintained to a high standard of hygiene.

The location is highly praised for its convenience, sea views, and accessibility to local transport, shops, and restaurants. The proximity to Dartmouth and beaches adds to its appeal, making it an ideal spot for holidaymakers.

Comfort receives mixed reviews. While some guests find the property comfortable, others mention issues with lounge seating and the size of the second bedroom. The feedback suggests room for improvement in this area.

Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a good bathroom, shower, and parking. However, there are comments about the need for better kitchen equipment and more comfortable furnishings, indicating some areas need attention.

There is insufficient information to accurately score thoughtfulness. While some guests mention a lack of welcome packs and personal touches, others note a welcoming card. Due to the mixed feedback and the absence of consistent mentions of gifts, a score cannot be provided.

    Love the outside seating, both this and chair in main bedroom offered lovely views of sea. Located well for exploring local area and great to have off road parking right outside property. Generous basket of logs for fire which was appreciated with the temperatures being on low side. Almost everything we needed was provided & beds really comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, and shower was heavenly. A couple of suggestions, property could do with some more glass tumblers as there were only 2 as opposed to the vast amount of wine glasses; the cafetière was not big enough for more than 1 so could be replaced by larger one; the heating on tumble dryer didn’t seem to work even following appliance instructions so you may want to investigate that (it didn’t impact our stay). A longer term option for smaller bedroom would be to swap bed and radiator around so bed head sits against window wall and radiator on inner wall. This would make better use of the available floor space in room and make it feel more open as the space across from door & wardrobe would continue along bottom of bed. Not an instant fix job but worth considering. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return.
