“Thank you. We had a lovely stay in your super apartment.”

You supplied everything we needed. The kitchen was extremely well equipped, the beds were very comfortable with quality bed linen. The terrace was also much enjoyed. Our only suggestion was that an extra towel rail would be very useful when there are several wet towels after showering. Other than that, we thought the apartment was super and would recommend it to anyone.

“Excellent property, only spoilt by the underground car park entrance door being stuck up and open.”

“We had a fantastic stay at 2 Dartmouth House.”

It is a beautiful apartment in a brilliant location, very close to all Dartmouth has to offer. The property was spacious, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and well-equipped. The patio area is a real bonus, as is having an allocated parking space. Highly recommend a stay there.

Laura August 2024

“The apartment is absolutely stunning.”

Location, facilities, outdoor space, all spot on. Thoughtful touches such as providing toiletries, extras in the kitchen, and welcome packs were really gratefully received. The only things that could be improved, which have been mentioned before in the reviews, is the settee and the armchairs. They are very low, very hard, and the arms are too high. They are really uncomfortable, especially for the older generation - so much so - my mother couldn't sit in them at all and triggered sciatica. A real shame. The glass in the lounge door has blown and needs replacing as you cannot see out of it.

“Beautiful apartment, well furnished and well equipped.”

Very clean. Lovely little private garden. Within walking distance to town and the Embankment. Secure parking space. Couldn't fault it

“Double glazed RH French window door has blown and needs replacing as it obliterates any view and does not function.”

3 piece suite could be more comfortable Bulb in cooker hood needs replacing. Should be checked at changeover

Michael July 2024

“Very pleased with the apartment, central to everything and with a good car parking space.”

Only downside a bit of a trek getting the luggage out of the car and into the apartment via the lift.

- Michael, July 2024

“Patio chairs and table needed a thorough cleaning due to seagulls!”

. Appreciate this may have occured after clean but due to amount maybe missed? Perhaps provide something to clean off chairs etc. chairs in living area now most uncomfortable. However, only very minor niggles. Fabulous stay, fabulous being able to sit on patio, parking a real bonus. Beds comfy, bathrooms clean and modern. Look forward to our next (4th) visit to number 2.

“This review is no reflection on the property or its owners, but we do have an issue with Sykes Cottages, under their guise as Coast & Country Cottages.”

At 05.04 on the morning of the day BEFORE our scheduled departure, an email pinged in. As we have a family medical issue which could necessitate urgent action, the phone was on. But the message was only to let us know that we had to vacate the premises by 10am the next day, had to have the beds stripped, linen put together, the place clean, empty and restored to the condition we found it in. Having used this firm for years, we cannot believe how callous, not to mention ill-timed, this was. Surely normal working hours would be better? It spoilt our last day totally, to the point that we came home a day early. There seems to be no way of emailing the firm about this thoughtlessness.

“The apartment was so lovely, it had everything we could wish for (apart from a sieve).”

We would happily stay again. The secure parking and a lift were great additions. There was a small issue with the heating, but it could not be fixed as we were staying over Christmas.

Rebecca October 2023

“We visited 2 Dartmouth House in February this year for the first time.”

We knew we would return but hadn’t planned to return so soon. However when we decided to have an autumn break my husband and I both wanted to return. The property is lovely and has everything you need and more. Its location is great as is the parking and having M&S next door.

- Rebecca, October 2023

“This is the second year that have stayed at the apartment and weren’t disappointed.”

The property is in a great location, very comfortable and everything is of a high standard. Would highly recommend.

- Graham, October 2023
Rachel August 2023

“Perfect location.”

The outside space was lovely and a real bonus for a flat. The flat was furnished nicely and had everything you could need. We did have a few minor maintenance issues which were resolved as best they could while we were there. Our only gripe was that it clean but wasn't spotless and the single beds weren't the softest, OK for kids but not so much for adults. Please be aware that the 2nd bedroom is directly over the car park entrance and the metal roller gates are a little noisy. Overall we had a lovely stay and would definitely stay again at this property.

- Rachel, August 2023
Colin July 2023

“The property was clean and tidy.”

The outside patio was nice to sit with a book. The property was in an ideal location, close to supermarket, shops and pubs. The only thing was it could do with more glasses. Plenty of wine glasses but not enough of others. Would recommend a visit.

- Colin, July 2023
Maureen June 2023

“We discovered ants in the kitchen, but the office supplied us with ant killer which seemed to help although we were still killing them halfway through the week.”

Later discovered another ant killer package in the flat, so obviously this is an ongoing problem. On Thursday, scaffolding was erected against the blue house next door. This was extremely noisy and some of the scaffolding leant against Dartmouth House. We were unable to use the patio and the scaffolding looked directly into our bedroom. As this was our last day in the flat, we were not too concerned but feel very sorry for the new tenants.

- Maureen, June 2023
Jennifer June 2023

“The apartment was great as it was last year.”

Our only disappointment this year was the patio garden. It was very neglected and tired looking. Really needs a good clean and some TLC. The garden is a bonus and a selling point, it should be better maintained and obviously hasn't been. The parking is also a very big bonus. But we still had a wonderful week. Thank you.

“This is our 7th stay at Dartmouth House.”

We were a little wary as always stayed high floor with river view. However, we were pleasantly surprised to find this apt must have fairly recently been updated. Bathrooms were lovely, no trying to squeeze into ensuite shower ( and no I am not large!). Beds were comfy. A definite plus being the patio allowing mum to sit in the sun of an afternoon whilst I went on long walks. Small issue dealt with well by office. Need WD 40 on squeaky doors and please replace the rusty drainer!. Very tight parking space ok all week with care until a huge vehicle arrived and had to park over my line making my exit hard. Already booked for return.

- Cindy, May 2023
Ian May 2023

“An excellent apartment in a wonderfully central location.”

The facilities were very good and it was clean, tidy and comfortable. The M&S food store right on our doorstep was welcome. The parking was at times problematic with the access road being difficult to manoeuvre and the parking bays were pretty tight. Overall though, an enjoyable stay.

- Ian, May 2023
Julie April 2023

“Enjoyed our stay very much.”

Good accommodation and in a good position. Apartment well equipped and clean. Lovely bathrooms and comfortable beds. A coffee machine would be a great addition as we brought our own Nespresso machine with us.

- Julie, April 2023
Barbara March 2023

“Very nice apartment, and comfortable except for the super king bed - too hard, needs a better quality mattress.”

Pleasantly furnished and warm, and nice bathrooms and kitchen. A slotted spoon and pasta server would be useful. The terrace and gravel garden were very pretty, and much appreciated although weather not suitable for sitting outside. Liked the pictures.

- Barbara, March 2023
Rebecca February 2023

“I have stayed twice before in Dartmouth House and booked this flat due to its availability.”

I knew from the pictures that is was going to be nice, but wow It was exceptional. It’s been decorated to a high standard and a lot of thought has gone into it. We will be back.

- Rebecca, February 2023
Rebecca October 2022

“2 Dartmouth House was exactly what we were after.”

A comfortable apartment with everything you could need, ideally located close to the centre of Dartmouth with the essential parking place! Details such as the welcome pack of teas and coffees etc make the difference so thank you. A wonderful time had by all.

- Rebecca, October 2022
Lynda October 2022

“Fabulous property, aesthetically pleasing with high quality fixtures and fittings, having all you would need for a holiday stay.”

It is excellently maintained and scrupulously clean.......the cleaners are star performers. It scored 10/10 for me. The property location could not be bettered, as its right in the heart of the town, which is a real bonus. Our first visit but definitely not the last....in fact, in my dreams l'd love to buy the place and live there permanently!!!

- Lynda, October 2022

“Could have done with more mugs and tea towels.”

Floor could have done with a wet mop over but otherwise apartment was very clean. Very convenient for shops and sightseeing. Beds very comfortable and showers excellent. Would recommend.

“Wonderful apartment in a perfect location.”

Excellent quality facilities. Highly recommend.

Susan July 2022

“There were no instructions on any of the white goods.”

On our first night an alarm went off on the oven and a red flashing arrow. The alarm stopped but the arrow stayed on. No idea what this was. We did report it to the staff at Coast and Country but they had no idea what it was either. Luckily we did not have to use the oven/hob during our stay. We think a new mattress is needed on the super king bed as every time my husband turned over I also moved and vice versa.

- Susan, July 2022
Karen June 2022

“Great holiday.”

The apartment was exactly as the photographs and as described. It's in an excellent, central location and the onsite parking was a real bonus. Spotlessly clean and comfortable, everything we needed from a holiday home. The staff in the Coast & Country office were all very friendly and helpful too.

- Karen, June 2022
Lesley May 2022

“Ideally situated in centre of Dartmouth close to all amenities.”

Lovely comfortable apartment. Staff were very helpful with a couple of minor queries. Parking okay but very small spaces in underground car park. Within easy reach of all restaurants and M&S two doors down so handy for any groceries.

- Lesley, May 2022

“Great location agency helpful a few minor problems within property - reported at ...”

Great location agency helpful a few minor problems within property - reported at end of stay comfortable - was a bit worried that blue chairs might not be comfortable but with the extra fat cushions there was was no problem kitchen paper roll/ foil would have been useful great to be so close to M and S food shop

- Audrey, April 2022
Deborah March 2022

“Lovely apartment with everything you need Nice decor, very clean and fresh.”

only small critism would be the ensuite shower grout is stained at the bottom and could do with a scrub. Also the TV signal is very weak so we were unable to watch any TV is the evening. This was reported to the office. Howvever we did have a wonderful stay and the location is excellent and a real bonus to have secure parking

Iris October 2021

“It is a very lovely apartement with a very pretty patio.”

It was nice having a underground parking facility which had a secure entrance to the apartments. It is a short walk to the harbour and to a Food store. The decorations are well thought out and very smart nice colour design. Beds are very comfortable with a choice of two singles and a king size bed and two bathrooms. The staff are just next to the apartment if you have a problem and they are very helpful.The shower basin was very slippery but they supplied us the same day with a shower mat. just one small thing. We arrived but had to go out to buy J cloths and kitchen roll. These should be standard kitchen equipment if not it should be mentioned on the list to bring. Like I said it is a small observation and eould not stop me renting this apartment again. So had a wonderful time and apartment was more then we expected regarding comfort.

Allan October 2021

“The whole process, from booking to handing back the keys at the end of the stay was efficient and effective - making for a stress-free holiday.”

The instructions and reminders were clear and very comprehensive. The apartment was accurately described, the standard of presentation was excellent and the staff at the key-holding /management office were great.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

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.

Pets are not permitted and the property operates a strict no smoking policy.
