Tracy September 2024

“We stayed last year and the property is beatitudes done to a lovely standard.”

The views from the open plan living space is amazing and we will absolutely go here again. The only issue we had was the bedroom windows don't close sealed right so you can get some noise from the back road

- Tracy, September 2024
Nicola September 2024

“Fabulous place to stay and our 2nd visit to this apartment.”

We have been visiting Dartmouth every year now for 12 years and stayed in many places. This is by far one of our favourites. For us would be perfect If we could bring our dog with us but unfortunately they can not stay in this property. Will be back next year but bringing our pooch, so we will need to find somewhere else. But this place has the perfect view and we love it.

“We had a slight problem opening the door lock at the top of the first flight of stairs.”

The kitchen was well equipped, seating was comfortable & the views from the balcony marvellous

- David, August 2024
June July 2024

“The apartment was excellent, very clean, comfortable, well equipped and bright, location was great, easy to walk to all shops/restaurants, sitting on the small balcony watching the world go by was wonderful and there was no smell from the fish and chip restaurant below, there is street parking outside to unload luggage and the main car park is a five minute walk away, the 2 sets of stairs may be an issue for some, there is no air conditioning or fans provided and the bedroom windows only open a few inches, so we did find it very hot in bed at night, but it was extremely hot weather during our stay, the noise from the seagulls is constant so it is advised to have ear pods to be able to sleep at night and the bed is very firm which may not suit some for a good nights sleep.”

We would definitely stay again.

“A soap dish in the shower would be useful,Third time we have been, and was as delightful as the previous times.”

Alistair June 2024

“Fantastic property, well equipped and spotlessly clean.”

A prime location with beautiful views across the estuary. We look forward to returning next year!!

“We have stayed in this apartment on 2 previous occasions.”

There were a few issues this time to do with maintenance of the property that was disappointing. The hot water tap in the bathroom came off ,if this was dropped into the sink ,it could have caused damage. The water in the sink did not drain away properly, we were concerned that this may cause damage to other attached properties. The bathroom towel rail could not be turned on,it was taped over at the socket. We would have not abused the use of this, it was simply that we wanted to dry damp towels. We did mention these issues to a member of staff at the Dartmouth office but she was rude and inferred that the owners may have not wanted the towel rail to be used. Her customer service left much to be desired. This property is in an incredible position and deserves to have tlc not to be neglected. It was however spotlessly clean . Having said all of this we have booked to visit next year.

“The property is really lovely, a wonderful view and great location.”

Everything needed is provided and the apartment felt very homely. The rainfall shower was much appreciated, and if the weather is in your favour it’s fantastic to be able to sit out on the balcony and watch the boats going back and forth. Some constructive feedback; the apartment appeared clean, however the tables and chairs on the balcony were quite dirty, and the cutlery in the kitchen needed a good scrub. Could we please have a shelf in the shower! It may have been us, but we found both the beds quite uncomfortable - possibly a change of mattress is due? Overall our stay was excellent and we would definitely consider returning!!

- Peter, June 2024

“The beds are very uncomfortable, in one bedroom the bed is broken and mattress very stained.”

The other bedroom mattress is very uncomfortable and has three mattress toppers on bed, really could do with new mattress as springs are poking through. In the kitchen the plates, cup and cutlery are old and stained. We had to buy two new mugs to use, which we left behind for next guests. Apart from this the apartment would be lovely with an amazing view.

- Michael, May 2024
Alan May 2024

“Only 2 very small pieces of feedback.”

Would have liked to see Soap in the kitchen and Bathroom and the location of the bin store was not obvious, in fact we could not find it as the rear door had a sign stating no rubbish beyond this point. Car park permit was amazing and we managed to get the same spot everyday. We will likely return very soon.

- Alan, May 2024
Melanie May 2024

“Overall the place is lovely, the views are totally spectacular and the layout of the apartment is well thought out.”

I don't wish to criticise too much because we did really enjoy our stay. The following things for us would have made it perfect and I feel might make a big difference to other people staying so I wish this to be helpful, not critical. We found the beds uncomfortable, we tried both and they were really hard. My partner didn't really sleep well. The sofa was also very uncomfortable, it slides down when you sit on it so overall we found it hard to relax at the apartment in the evening. The two arm chairs were good for us. Some of lights don't work in the bathroom, there might be good reason for this. Two of the draws in the furniture in living room fall open all the time after you close them, I am guessing that is to do with how the room slopes. Not a big issue for us but thought it was work letting you know. Everything else was great and we loved watching the river from the balcony. Less fussy people who are out and about more and don't mind very firm beds will love this place. Its also very spacious and clean.

- Melanie, May 2024
Patricia April 2024

“This was our second visit to the apartment and it didn't disappoint.”

The view of the river is amazing, facilities are good, bed is comfy, the couch in the lounge area not so. The cleanliness cannot be faulted. Taking the rubbish to the bin store can prove difficult, this time there were large umbrellas in front of the cupboard likely from the upstairs bar.

- Patricia, April 2024
Sylvia April 2024

“We had a an excellent holiday at 2 Embankment.”

...the apartment and views across the Dart, an absolute delight. We often book with Sykes and are never disappointed ! Just one small adjustment would be a great help for folk of our vintage.....both over 80 years. A gripper rail in the shower, and floor mat would help with safety, and somewhere to place shower gel and shampoo at arms reach would be a good idea. . Our thanks for a wonderful holiday......blessed with beautiful weather too !

Peter September 2023

“This property had everything going for it.”

The view across the estuary to Kingswear is just stunning. We loved sitting on the balcony watching life go by on the river and the street below. The apartment is spacious, comfortable, tastefully furnished/decorated and well-equipped. The 2 bedrooms each have a comfortable king-size bed. Dining area, living area and kitchen all work well together. Plenty of electrical sockets and the lighting is just right. We loved our one-week stay in September and will hopefully return.

- Peter, September 2023
Russell July 2023

“Hi the property is just amazing and would hope to stop again the view is stunning, we had plans to go off and visit other towns but the car just didn't move.”

Everything to hand in Dartmouth. Even sat looking through the rear windows at the comings and goings. If you like a place to sit and relax and just unwind look no further !

- Russell, July 2023
Coral July 2023

“The cottage is tastefully decorated and furnished.”

The pictures and display articles are lovely. Much careful thought has been given to the provision of the excellent equipment including books and games for rainy days. The lack of a separate handrail, apart from the banister, made negotiating the twisting stairs to the second floor difficult for a person with even slight mobility issues.

- Coral, July 2023
Sue June 2023

“We had the best holiday in this gorgeous apartment.”

The rooms were spacious and light yet cosy at the same time. We wanted for nothing. On arrival everything was very clean and tidy. The views from the balcony were breathtaking where you could sit and watch the world go by. We cannot fault this place and will definitely be returning.

- Sue, June 2023
Delia June 2023

“We love staying here and hope to stay again asap.”

The views and accommodation are pretty wonderful. I would highly recommend this holiday property.

- Delia, June 2023
Ian May 2023

“The only problem about this property is the balcony.”

Very difficult to keep it clean because of the seagulls. Therefore we were unable to sit out at anytime.

- Ian, May 2023
Andrew April 2023

“2 Embankment House is in a perfect location in the centre of Dartmouth with lovely views across the Dart from the living/dining area.”

It is above Rockfish, but despite the restaurant being busy most days we were there, we didn't hear any noise - apart from the sound of gulls! The flat has been tastefully modernised and is well-appointed, with everything we needed for our stay. Both bedrooms have comfortable, king-size beds and sufficient storage. There is a good size bathroom with a powerful rain shower and plenty of hot water. The kitchen area is fairly small, but well-equipped. The lock on the outside door is rather complicated and took some getting used to, but we managed to get the hang of it by the end of our stay. We would be very happy to stay in the property again.

- Andrew, April 2023
Martin December 2022

“Great property, exactly as described.”

Amazing views, lovely and warm and everything you could need if you wanted to eat in. Will definitely be back and have already recommended to family x

- Martin, December 2022
Simone September 2022

“Wonderful location which would be good in all weathers as you have a great view of the river, even from inside.”

The balcony was a real joy. Stylish and incredibly well equipped cottage. We forgot our binoculars so a pair of those would have been nice - otherwise perfect.

- Simone, September 2022
Karen September 2022

“The apartment is situated in a prime location overlooking the River Dart and the balcony provides the opportunity to sit for hours enjoying watching the world go by.”

Also perfect for a spot of evening fishing and enjoying chats with passers by. We found the property to be very well equipped (Gordon Ramsey would want for nothing in the kitchen!), clean and beautifully decorated. The car park voucher is a gem, although we were able to park outside the apartment on several occasions Had a wonderful week enjoying the relaxed pace of life in Dartmouth and the surrounding area. The street front door lock has an unusual locking device (detailed and simple instructions in the apartment) and whilst we mastered it, the occupants of flat downstairs didn't. So we sometimes found the door unlocked, but it wasn't obvious to passers by. However the apartment door has a secure lock on it anyway, so we never felt unsafe. Great touch that the agent both rang and emailed during the stay to check everything was okay. Already looking to book for next year.

- Karen, September 2022
Wendy July 2022

“Overall this is an excellent property with a very high standard of decor and facilities.”

There were some cleanliness and maintenance issues which we have advised Sykes under separate cover but they do not detract from a very enjoyable holiday spent here at this apartment. Would most likely return again.

- Wendy, July 2022
Linda May 2022

“We really appreciated the high standard of fittings, comfort, cleanliness and attention to detail.”

The central location, close to all that Dartmouth has to offer - shops, restaurants, river trips - as well as fantastic river views make this a top spot.

- Linda, May 2022
Colin April 2022

“Delightful location & view.”

Property very well equipped, and all of a good standard. Some more information of facilities such as Waste disposal unit (couldn't find how to operate this - couldn't get rid of small items we had rinsed into it), bathroom floor heating, bathroom mirror light (found how to operate on last day, by trial & error. People may want to be informed there is a bottle bank for re-cycling located in the main car park. Finally, when arriving at the property, the directions say that "The apartment is located above Rockfish restaurant on the right hand side." Actually, the entrance door is on the left hand side (facing) and has a number 8 above the door. This would be helpful to know, as it is difficult to park outside and being able to quickly identify where the entrance is would be beneficial.

- Colin, April 2022
Andrew March 2022

“A very comfortable apartment with plenty of room and situated in fantastic position.”

The views are excellent and it’s only a few minutes walk to several pubs and restaurants .

- Andrew, March 2022
Angela December 2021

“Really enjoyed our Xmas week stay.”

Stunning views over the Dart, and a treat to see the ‘train of lights’. The apartment is very well equipped, warm and comfortable, however the biscuit coloured carpets are in need of a good clean. Would definitely recommend this holiday apartment.

- Angela, December 2021
Justine October 2021

“We had an amazing stay at Embankment.”

The property is in a fabulous location with beautiful views and close to everything you need. The property is the best equipped apartment with everything you need and more. I would highly recommend 2 Embankment. This is our second visit and we are in the process of booking again for next year. It's so relaxing and peaceful. Enjoy!

- Justine, October 2021

“Lovely apartment, had everything we needed, fabulous location only negatives, balcony wasn’t cleaned and 7 baby seagulls were nested outside our bedroom window so we had to sleep on the settee owing to the noise constant noise.”

- Linda, June 2021

“The doors onto the balcony need repairing, (Bottoms are rotting) Otherwise really nice accommodation, My second visit in 9 months.”

Now booked up because of staycation.

Alice May 2021

“The apartment was simply stunning.”

It is incredibly well furnished and the kitchen is stocked with all the items you need and more. There was only 2 of us staying but the apartment could easily cater for 6 if there were more beds! The bed was really comfy and the bedding was of high quality. The location is amazing, we often got take out and sat on the balcony to eat rather than in the restaurants on the street below as the view from the apartment was better than if you were sat in them. We also never heard noise from the apartment or restaurant below which was something we were concerned about before we arrived. The parking permit was also extremely useful and could be used in some other car parks nearby to Dartmouth which was great. The only very minor comment I would make is that when we arrived the hot water had been turned off so the shower was cold. Once we’d figured out this was it we didn’t have any more problems but I’d suggest that the hot water is left on for future guests. Overall, a great stay and we’d love to come back again in the future!

Isabel October 2020

“The apartment was spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped.”

The shower now has a long curtain so there was no problem with a wet floor. The views from the balcony were lovely, the location was perfect, and we were able to park in the road outside as it is de-restricted from October. I would recommend this without reservation.

- Isabel, October 2020
Gillian October 2020

“Got very wet and mucky getting to the bin store.”

Sofa not as comfortable as it looks but otherwise a very well appointed flat. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.

- Gillian, October 2020
Janice September 2020

“We thought the balcony was exceptionally lovely and in general the apartment inside was at least as good as described.”

The kitchen was really well kitted out and everything needed was provided. The sitting room and dining area had stunning views. We loved being in the middle of the town and only took the car out once or twice in week. The walks from Dartmouth and Kingswear were wonderful. However we would comment on the shower which isn't really fit for purpose. Two issues: one already commented on by others is the lack of a shower cubicle/ door. The water runs all over the bathroom floor even with care using curtain. In addition it is fine having a large shower head above but no alternative lower shower head so hair wash necessary with every shower.

- Janice, September 2020
Oliver August 2020

“The location of this apartment was fantastic, amazing views with great facilities.”

We would often pop back in the day so convenient to do that.

- Oliver, August 2020
Belinda August 2020

“The property is generally well equipped however there are a few issues that could easily be rectified.”

The flat could do with a fan in each bedroom during the summer and there were no tongs in the kitchen. The bathroom is built to a luxury standard but it has a poorly fitted shower curtain that causes water to leak all over the bathroom floor. Apart from these issues, we had a lovely stay and the flat was in a great location with lovely views of the river. The parking permit was very useful not only in Dartmouth but also when we visited Slapton beach. Close to the co-op, takeaways, pubs and restaurants.

- Belinda, August 2020
Quentin July 2020

“The view from the flat was fantastic - every bit as good as it looks in the photos.”

And the location was perfect - right in the centre of Dartmuth, just a short walk to catch ferries that go to various destinations up the estuary and around the coast, and within walking distance of some superb beaches.

- Quentin, July 2020
Fiona July 2020

“We had a great holiday in this lovely apartment.”

A really comfortable apartment with everything you could need, in the heart of Dartmouth with wonderful river views day and night. We would highly recommend this apartment and would definitely stay there again.

- Fiona, July 2020
Susan July 2020

“Already advised about the bin store.”

It was unuseable as so dirty so we used bins across the road and took some rubbish home with us. The balcony was not clean when we arrived so cleaned it ourselves. Appreciate very difficult with the seagulls around! Top location and top flat. Very comfy beds.

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.

Please note that this is a second floor apartment with internal staircase access

PLEASE NOTE: Mayors Avenue car park is closed for Regatta week.
