“The apartment was clean and quite well equipped with what you would expect.”

Unfortunately there were several minor issues that let it down. The lounge furniture was so low that as an older person I found it difficult to get out of so spent the week having to sit on a dining chair. Conversely the mirrored bathroom cabinets were so high that I couldn't see in them. I'm 5'2' so although short would still expect to be able to see in them. The kitchen cabinets were also on the high side. The details mention that the bathroom has an over bath shower, this in fact was just a ...

Unfortunately there were several minor issues that let it down. The lounge furniture was so low that as an older person I found it difficult to get out of so spent the week having to sit on a dining chair. Conversely the mirrored bathroom cabinets were so high that I couldn't see in them. I'm 5'2' so although short would still expect to be able to see in them. The kitchen cabinets were also on the high side. The details mention that the bathroom has an over bath shower, this in fact was just a shower attached to the taps. perfect for hosing the children down after a day at the beach but not for 2 adults to have a proper shower meaning that we all used the one in the ensuite. The sockets in the bedrooms were not easily accessible for using hairdryer etc. As I say all fairly minor points but enough to spoil the comfort of the property.

- Carol, October 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are very happy to hear that you arrived at a clean and well-equipped apartment. We were surprised to read that a few things were a little on the high side, this is not something that has been reported in the past, however we will investigate to see if adjustments need to be made. We appreciate it is the little things that make a holiday. We, along with the owner will take a look at the points you have raised and take steps to address where necessary. We do hope you had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed all that Dartmouth has to offer. Property Owner
Paul August 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay - thank you.”

A few suggestions on how the experience could be improved: the ensuite shower - the sealing silicon needs attention and the rusting wall holder is rusty and requires replacement; rugs throughout the apartment are showing signs of use and need a clean; the large Ikea clock in the kitchen is not working - not fixed by changing the battery; the drying rack adjacent to the kitchen sink is not 'inviting'. Comments offered to be helpful. We had a great time and would visit again.

- Paul, August 2024

We are truly happy you enjoyed your stay at 8 The Pottery. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We have passed this on to the owner and cleaner to take steps to rectify the matters you have mention. The rugs are already booking in for a clean! We hope you had a safe journey home and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Property Owner
Richard June 2024

“Accommodation good but soffa very uncomfortable.”

Location good for us but may not suit others. Didn't appreciate the over regular and dictatorial emails from Sykes cottages dictating what we do and when .

- Richard, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback, We are thrilled you loved the location, it is in such a pretty setting. We can only apologise the sofa was not to your taste, this really is down to personal preference. Thank you for your comments regarding our communication, we are always striving to better our services and will certainly take your feedback into consideration. We do hope you had a lovely holiday and hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Paula May 2024

“We loved our stay at 8 The Pottery.”

The property is spacious, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The location was perfect for us, having the best of both worlds, beautiful scenic walks right from the doorstop and a pleasant walk to Dartmouth town with its abundance of restaurants, pubs, cafes, shops and benches where you can sit and take in the breathtaking scenery. And to top it off, we we’re lucky with the weather too. 10 out of 10, will definitely return Thank you

- Paula, May 2024

Thank you so much for such a lovely review, much appreciated. We very much look forward to welcoming you again. Kindest regards. Property Owner
Lorraine May 2024

“Having spent quite a few years visiting this property, this year has been a little disheartening.”

The property is clean and tidy at eye level, we just felt certain areas were being overlooked. On arrival, we were unpacking fridge items and had to clean it again as there were areas of food remaining. Our pillows in the master bedroom had no pillow protectors on them, and the duvet cover was ripped. The rug also in our bedroom has been there for years and is in need of a clean or replacement. The en-suite shower is in need of new sealant, all just looked a little tired. I spoke with Sykes regarding access to the property as Warfleet road has been closed since the 11/3/24, due to the road collapsing, no one had been told about this problem, so you have to go the long way round to enter the potteries. There has also been a lot of works vehicle near the entrance, so be careful on exiting the car park. I have taken photos if the owner wishes to see them, I’m sure he’d appreciate some honest feedback.

- Lorraine, May 2024

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We can only apologise that you had a few issues during your stay, please know if you had let us know during your time here, we would have done our best to rectify them immediately. We have passed your comments on to the cleaner and owner who will look to remedy the matters you have raised. We are sorry you were not made aware of the road closure, as the diversion signs are in place we felt this was an sufficient alternative, however we will look at informing guests going forward. We do hope you had an enjoyable holiday and look forward to welcoming you back to Dartmouth again soon. Property Owner
Catherine April 2024

“We had a wonderful stay thank you so much.”

We have stayed in some of the other apartments but this was our first in No 8. It was clean and tidy. The kitchen was well stocked with dishwasher tablets, tea towels and washing machine tablets etc. very warm apartment with plenty of hot water. We had been told about the hob engineer's visit and were happy for him to attend, which he did, on time but sadly could not fix the problem there and then. Also missing bath towels were delivered after I enquired. Wonderful apartment in fab location and allocated parking is a gem. We remember The Pottery when it was a pottery with a top floor cafe and loved the building then too. Would certainly like to return and could see us living there, if only

- Catherine, April 2024

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled you loved the apartment, it is in such a beautiful spot. We can only apologise we were unable to fix the hob during your stay, I can now confirm this has been rectified. We are so pleased you had a wonderful holiday, we do hope we can welcome you back to the area in the near future. Property Owner
Simone April 2024

“All the control panels for the heating were set at different times, they should all be reset to correct time and there were no details as to when the heating would come on and go off or how to over ride it if cold weather.”

Up to date details of road closures in the area would have been helpful in emails sent to us as the main road from Dartmouth to Warfleet was closed in both directions due to a land slip and no diversions were signposted

- Simone, April 2024

Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback scores rating the property and your holiday. We are sorry that you found the heating to come on at different times, this has been addressed and full instructions are in the property folder. With regards to the road closure, we have been assured by the Highways Team that diversion signs are in place, we do apologise if you found this to be an inconvenience. We hope that we can welcome you back to Dartmouth and 8 The Pottery in the near future. With regards from C&CC;, on behalf of Property Owner
Sally February 2024

“We really enjoyed our stay at nr 8 the Pottery.”

It exceeded our expectations. It was super warm and comfortable, with lots of space and a pleasure to come back to after a day exploring. We loved the character of the building and tasteful modern interior. We thought we would miss having a private outdoor space for our dog, but it worked fine popping out to the cove or gravelled area. The sound of the tawny owls at night and peace and quiet was a delight. There was some noise from footsteps from the flat above for a couple of nights, but there was no sound from any other flats despite being on the first floor with three flats on that floor all occupied.

- Sally, February 2024

Dear Sally, Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review - we really do appreciate it and are so pleased to hear you both had a great time. Like you, we especially enjoy all the fabulous walks around Warfleet! We would be delighted to welcome you back again. Kindest regards. Property Owner
Nicholas November 2023

“A lovely spacious flat in a great position.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I’m not going to nit pick like some people, nothing is perfect but we enjoyed our stay and I would recommend the place for anyone visiting Dartmouth.

Eleanor September 2023

“Absolutely beautiful apartment in beautiful surroundings and so peaceful.”

We stayed in this property last year and liked it so much we went back this year. The only downside in my opinion is the second bathroom. The bath is so deep it is almost impossible to get in our out of. The shower attachment is very peculiar but is handy for washing your hair if you lean over the bath. But beware! Keep a tight hold on the handle otherwise it will swivel round and water goes everywhere. We still enjoyed our holiday very much.

- Eleanor, September 2023

Dear Eleanor Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your time in 8POTT it sounds like you love the apt as much as we do ! Hopefully you will visit again to experience events such as the regatta or the food festival, we find that each season has something to offer. Kindest regards." Property Owner
Dean September 2023

“A beautiful apartment in the perfect location.”

We had everything we needed for our holiday and it's just a short walk into town.

- Dean, September 2023

We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Warfleet and thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. It sounds like you enjoyed the location as much as we do; it really is a very picturesque spot. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

Apartment is extremely well equipped and very comfortable. A great location too.

Peter July 2023

“Overall the apartment was great.”

There are a few maintenance things that need attention. Despite many notes in the visitors book the rusty drainer tray in the sink has not been replaced. Both toilet seats are loose and need adjusting or replacing. There are insufficient dinner plates, tea plates and tea spoons for the size of apartment whereas there are dozens of knives forks and desert spoons

- Peter, July 2023

Many thanks for your feedback. We are pleased that you loved the apartment. The drainer tray is a well loved sentimental item of the owners, who has promised to give it the care and attention it deserves to keep doing its job properly. Many thanks for your other comments, they will be looked at and addressed. We do hope you had a lovely stay and enjoyed all Dartmouth has to offer. Property Owner
Lorraine May 2023

“This is our third visit to this apartment.”

The potteries, is well appointed with your own car parking space. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It’s very spacious, with two sizeable bedrooms. I hope you enjoy your stay as we did ours.

- Lorraine, May 2023

I am very happy that you enjoyed your stay and found the apartment to be comfortable. Having an allocated parking space is a bonus in Dartmouth. I am delighted to welcome you back again in the future ! Property Owner
Naomi April 2023

“We have just returned from a week at this beautiful spot in Dartmouth.”

The apartment is very spacious very clean and I thought very tastefully decorated. Having a private car space is very useful and the location although you have to get used to the very narrow roads is fantastic and very close to both the castle and the shops and beautiful walks. Definitely recommend and I would definitely return.

- Naomi, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to write such a wonderful review - we really appreciate it. Sounds like you loved the location as much as we do! Kindest regards Property Owner

“Loved the apartment.”

Great location, a parking space and all mod cons in a gorgeous renovation. We own several gurgling fish jugs so really pleased to have stayed where they were made.

Christine Jane February 2023

“We thought the apartment was comfortable and cosy and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

We have already mentioned that 2 keys would be a good idea as we were 2 couples and didn’t always go out together. Also it took us quite a while to find instructions for the hob!

- Christine Jane, February 2023

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback, we are thrilled you enjoyed your stay at 8 The Pottery. A second set of keys can be requested from the Dartmouth office on your arrival. We will make sure the hob instructions are in a more prominent position for future guests, many thanks for bringing that to our attention. We do hope we can welcome you back to Dartmouth in the not too distant future. Property Owner
Lois February 2023

“8 the pottery is a wonderful appartment in an exceptional location.”

The iconic building is steeped in history and ouses character. The beds are very comfortable. The whole place is decorated beautifully. Everything you may need is there for a relaxing time for all. The added bonus of parking on site is excellent as Dartmouth is a very beautiful and popular destination. There are lovely walks from the site and ofcourse you can walk into town !! Brilliant ☺️. Personally I found the furniture not very comfortable or what to do with the big cushions. But that's probably just me. My family were happy enough. I also on a personal level think there should be another step to get into the ensuite shower. I appreciate it is probably not a problem to most but for a short person with a dodgy foot it was getting in and out. But that's just me. Overall it's a wonderful place to call your own for a while. Thank you very much.

- Lois, February 2023

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at 8 The Pottery, we will be sure to pass your comments onto the owner. The position really is very beautiful, with the Dartmouth Castle just a short walk away. We do hope that we can welcome you back to the area soon. Property Owner
Lorraine November 2022

“Just returned from our second holiday this year at number 8 The potteries.”

This is a spacious property ideally situated, within a ten minute walk in to Dartmouth. On arriving we felt like we were back home, such a spacious apartment, with all you need for your stay. It was lovely and warm, and relaxing. On further inspection there were a few issues with the level of cleanliness from our previous visit. Not sure if there had been a different team of cleaners but things had been missed. We have discussed all our issues with the letting agents who did assure us those problems would be rectified before our next holiday, we trust that it will be.

- Lorraine, November 2022

Many thanks taking the time to leave you feed back. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay at 8 The Pottery, it really is in a great position. Many thanks for your comments on the cleanliness, we will be sure to take this up with the cleaner to avoid this happening in the future. We do hope to see you for your third visit soon.

Emma August 2022

“This is a really beautiful apartment with everything that you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.”

The furnishings are of a really high quality and the apartment is really nicely presented. It is in a great position for a quick dip or paddle board down at the creek and the walk into town is pretty easy (only one small hill to climb each way!). The only minor things I would improve are to provide a washing up bowl in the sink and replace the rusty rack for washing up liquid. Other than that - nothing needs to be changed. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this lovely part of the world.

- Emma, August 2022

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback. We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. We have passed on the bits you mentioned to the owner. We do hope that we can welcome you back to Dartmouth soon. Property Owner
Richard July 2022

“The apartment was good but we missed outdoor space and there was little natural light inside.”

Cave like Your persistent and regular emails annoyed us , especially the one we received on the last day of our stay - stating we must clean up and leave all as found . Very patronising, especially as we have paid you £1000 for the privilege The staff at the key collection Point were very nice

- Richard, July 2022

Many thanks for leaving your feedback. We are pleased to hear you liked the apartment. This property is not advertised with outside space, however it is situated in a beautiful part of Dartmouth with plenty of outside space to relax nearby. We can only apologise that you were unhappy with the emails we sent through, unfortunately not everyone is courteous enough to leave the property in an acceptable condition, which is why we send out the emails we do. We hope you enjoyed your time in Dartmouth and all the area has to offer. Property Owner
Lorraine April 2022

“On entering our apartment it smelt fresh and clean, windows were open and well ventilated.”

Bedrooms were clean and airy, the only down side was the quality of pillows, they do need to be replaced with a good quality filling. In the kitchen area it was well stocked, on a negative note it needs new plate and cutlery drainer and a new sink tidier they were well passed there sell by date, very rusty. The apartment is well situated for a walk in to Dartmouth, unfortunately there is no view of the river. I would definitely recommend purely for its cleanliness and position.

- Lorraine, April 2022

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled you enjoyed your time at 8 The Pottery. We have passed your comments on to the owner who has now replaced all the pillows and has made sure the drain and sink rack are no longer rusty. We do hope we can welcome you back to Dartmouth soon.

Anthony February 2022

“Nice property, if looking a bit tired.”

Lovely location helped by the fact that we have been to Dartmouth many times and know our way around. Double bed very comfortable with high quality mattress. There was only two of us staying but could be problematic, if more, as the main bathroom only had a bath and no proper shower. Found the sofas a bit uncomfortable and not very supportive. Overall a nice stay.

- Anthony, February 2022
Callum January 2022

“On arrival found toilet lid broken/cracked and only 1 toilet roll in each bathroom for 4 people.”

This was reported and i asked for replacement rolls to be left outside of door - this was not done resulting in us purchasing additional toiletries. Also a lot of dust and debris under sofa which was missed by the cleaner. Picking up and returning of key at the office was inconvenient and a key safe would have been better. Overall the long weekend break was great and if the above was addressed this would have made it even better. thks Mark

- Callum, January 2022
Sally December 2021

“Fabulous apartment and really well situated for walking into Dartmouth centre!”

Clearer instructions on where to collect key, as office had moved and number was picked up from a guy in Chester!! Highly recommend apartment!

- Sally, December 2021
John November 2021

“We loved the location of the pottery , Dartmouth and all south Devon had to offer.”

We would have no hesitation in revisiting the area again. To be able to access the coast path so readily without driving was a real bonus. The apartment itself has a great layout with plenty of room for four adults and a small dog. Our only observation is the bathrooms are a little tired and must have been designed with smaller people in mind as the sink and toilet heights are quite low even for average height humans. This did not deter from our enjoyment of the property and is only an observation. We are considering a future visit.

Perfect location for walking in and around Dartmouth .

- Beverley, September 2021
Janet September 2021

“Very spacious, stylish and comfortable apartment in an interesting building, quiet location and an easy walk into town or to Dartmouth Castle.”

Both beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped but does have limited workspace for cooking (not a major problem for us but worth noting if you're intending to cook every day) Parking on site is a bonus and it was a treat to hear the owls at night!

- Janet, September 2021
Elaine July 2021

“We feel fortunate to have had a holiday in the South Hams in this difficult year.”

The apartment is in a great location and has a parking space which is a bonus in Dartmouth. The bedrooms were nice and the beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the living area is quite dark because there is only one small window. We would not usually book pet friendly accommodation as we have allergies - one of our party was very allergic during our stay unfortunately. I would not recommend this apartment to people who enjoy cooking as the kitchen is very small and there is limited storage space for larder food - and no trivets.

- Elaine, July 2021

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled that you we happy with the location, it really is in a lovely spot. We can only apologise that one of your party members is allergic to pets, we do make it very clear when marketing pet friendly properties that they are pet friendly, partly for this reason. We were surprised to hear your comment about the kitchen as we have not had one of that nature in the past, the kitchen is compact but well equipped. We do hope that in spite of these issues you enjoyed what Dartmouth has to offer. Property Owner

There is a very large dent on one side. Bathrooms are ready for refurbishment. Problems with free view box solved quickly.

Jacqueline May 2021

“I think the parking instructions could of been clearer.”

When we arrived it took us a while to find our parking space, because the number was on the side and not facing. We had to ask another resident and he showed us to a small sign on the fence explaining the layout of the car park. Thank goodness we didn't arrive in the dark. A printout of this would be useful before arriving, as it looked like those parking places were for the cottages and not flats. Maybe a key pad safe could be fitted, then we could have gone straight to the property and also would have been easier when leaving. However, overall we enjoyed our stay.

Gill October 2020

“The apartment is spacious, comfortable and well equipped.”

It’s the perfect walking distance from the town and you can explore out along the coastal path directly from the front door. The bed was especially comfortable, which was a delight as so often a rock hard bed makes for a less than happy holiday. So thank you for that.

- Gill, October 2020
Helen September 2020

“Another visit to The Pottery was a wonderful trip for our family.”

Clean and perfectly located for easy access into Dartmouth. We will be back. Only one point to make this time, the people in the apartment above No.8 were quite 'heavy footed' at 8 am and 7.30 pm for about an hour. Just thought you should know - perhaps they brought a treadmill? :-)

Gregory August 2020

“Firstly, thank you so much to the Dartmouth office team for promptly sorting out my self inflicted booking issues and also please pass on my thanks to the owner for his understanding.”

This was our second stay at 8 The Potteries and it was as enjoyable and comfortable as our first. The onsite off road parking is an extremely convenient bonus for anyone staying in Dartmouth, with the town just being a scenic 10 minute stroll away.

- Gregory, August 2020
Roger June 2019

“A few years ago I would have rated this property as excellent.”

Unfortunately I feel it has been neglected by the owners. I did point our the state of the carpet into the main bedroom to your staff on handing back the keys as it was decidedly dirty. The floor tiles to the second bathroom are mainly cracked and broken. I feel the property needs redecorating. I felt a little disappointed with 8 Pottery it is a gorgeous place it needs a little love. As we entered the property from downstairs we were a little put off by the two large boards stored outside No 4 and the fact that the owners there had decided to discard there dirty shoes next to the board. We are dog lovers but the yappy little chap in the neighbouring apartment got a little tedious. Dartmouth is definitely suffering due to the amount of second homes in the town we noticed a lot of the restaurants we used to frequent are gone and there are a lack of good ones. The speciality shops are slowing disappearing due to the enormous rents demanded by Dartmouth Council allowing big chains like Fat Face, Crew etc to take over. We did take a ferry trip from Dartmouth castle to Dartmouth and was bombarded by the Ferryman's opinion on how bad Dartmouth had become because of the effect the second homes are having on the town. We visited Totnes during our stay and were truly shocked, there were numerous beggars on the main street, we actually saw one man sitting under the main archway under a slogan painted on the wall in large black letters. Again a lot of speciality shops are gone leaving shops selling cheap rubbish. We feel there is a huge drug problem in the town so we did not spend a lot of time there. I have been coming to Dartmouth since I was a child I am afraid we have decided not to return.

- , May 2017

We were very disappointed to read your review of 8 The Pottery and sorry that you did not contact us on arrival in order to give us the chance to try to rectify some of these issues during your stay (we can confirm, however, that the carpets are being professionally cleaned this week as a consequence of your feedback). This is a very popular property, independently rated at 4-Star Gold level by VisitEngland, and regularly receiving four or five star reviews from customers – however, we will certainly follow up your other concerns to ensure that the property continues to be well presented for our holiday guests going forward.
We were extremely surprised to receive your negative feedback about Dartmouth. The community and local businesses in Dartmouth continue to work hard to ensure that the town remains an extremely desirable place to visit and stay on holiday. Whilst some restaurants inevitably close down over time, other new ventures will open, and in our view there remains a fantastic array to choose from, including celebrity chef Mitch Tonks’ award-winning ‘Rockfish’ (family-friendly fish and chips) and elegant ‘The Seahorse’ (delicious seafood) and many, many more to suit all budgets and palates. Dartmouth still offers a wonderful array of independent art galleries as well as distinctive individual shops and boutiques alongside the larger (but still relatively small) chains such as ‘Fat Face’ and ‘Crew’ – our mostly locally-owned and managed businesses very much need customers to keep supporting them so they can indeed afford to pay their rents. It is unfortunate that you experienced just one individual ferryman’s view of the town (somewhat ironic when his own business depends equally on tourism and local businesses!) – most of us would give a much more positive view of our beautiful, historic and vibrant town in which are lucky to live and work!
Similarly, your comments about and opinions of Totnes do not tie in with our own and those of many very happy holiday guests who visit every year. Totnes is a lively and particularly friendly town, regularly featuring in ‘cool places to live’ type guides and boasting many individual cafes and restaurants which have great appeal to the thousands of visitors who flock there each year. Again, shops do come and go, as in towns across the country, but there remain numerous independent businesses, and indeed Totnes is known for resisting the influx of chains which fill other towns across the country. Sadly, drugs are a nationwide issue but South Devon is amongst one of the safest areas to live and visit, and it is hugely disappointing that you have raised the issue in this way on a property review. In summary, we are very sad to learn that you have decided not to return to Dartmouth.
If we can persuade you back at some point in the future please do contact us for suggestions of places to stay, along with ideas of where to eat and shop – we would be delighted to show you that South Devon, and specifically Dartmouth and Totnes, remains a fantastic place for a holiday or short break, all year round.

“Really lovely appartment in great location, few simple improvements - mattress on bed uncomfortable & had a thick down duvet on bed in September!”

(Way too warm) no oven gloves made cooking hazardous & could have done with a clothes airer. Sofa leather looked lovely but uncomfortable The appt write up talked of share court yard outside - in reality this was a car park & if it had have been hot would have been difficult to find any space to sit outside ( good to point out as may out some people off) having said all that we loved it for its location & set up & quality, but the above issues may influence if we returned

“We frequently use Dartmouth for holidays and as yet the potteries is one of the best we've been to, it was a lovely airy space for 4 and the dog , very modern and spotlessly clean, the main reason for our choice wasn't just the location but with it being regatta the facility of parking.”

On that note we have complaint, we told yourselves we would arrive as a party of 4 in two cars and told that was no problem. We arrived unloaded and parked in the flats own space plus a open visitors space as directed by yourselve, the following morning the van in the visitors space had a sarcastic note put under the wipers saying ' this is private parking do not park here in future' therefore we left a note to say we were in the flat 8 and put the parking plan inside the windscreen. Subsequent days ended up us getting our note screwed up and stuffed in the side window and the van itself getting blocked in. We didn't make a fuss or point any fingers but put us on edge all week in case our vehicles were damaged as a consequence. We appreciate building work is still ongoing but a skip and several work vans didn't help our cause. Going forward I would advise a simple laminated pass stating that a visiting vehicle is from flat 8. A small blip on otherwise another memorable Dartmouth trip.

Many thanks for taking the time to complete your review of 8 The Pottery in Dartmouth. We have forwarded your comments to the owners who wanted to pass on their apologies to you for the parking issues. They also much appreciated the laminated pass suggestion but are hopeful that with the top floor soon to be completed this situation will soon be resolved.

“This was the second time that we have stayed at the pottery, The first time was at a different apartment, Not quite as good as the first apartment, Lacks polish and finishing touches.”

Having said that its still a nice apartment.

“Large, spacious accommodation.”

Very clean. Underfloor heating. Quiet area Great to have one's own parking place. Wi Fi is a very useful bonus. No view of the creek but the cottages opposite are attractive and the trees are lovely. If you don't mind a short walk into town it's a great location, close to the castle. In the bedroom there was a draught through holes in the very old wall, we plugged these with tissues. The pedal on the kitchen bin was broken. Altogether a great place!

Few minor issues- no curtain/blind in the lounge area so lack of privacy; not really pet/dog friendly- 2 flights of stairs to be climbed/no outside area for exercising

“Quiet location with own parking which we find to be essential in Dartmouth in popular holiday periods.”

Very modern in its furnishings although main living area is a little dark due to only one window and a natural stone wall about which, I am guessing, little can be done as I think this may be a listed building. Allows dogs which is a rarity in a Dartmouth for some reason!

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.

One well behaved pet is allowed.
