“Generally very good, we have stayed here before.”

Couple of things could be improved. Window on kitchen still broken sash was the same last year Pillows could be greatly improved Stains on carpet in lounge need removing MAIN ISSUE the neighbours security light to the left of the bedroom is on ALL NIGHT CONSTANTLY which gives daylight conditions when trying to sleep, this needs urgent attention

“We have stayed at this property several times.”

It is a lovely small flat in an excellent location. However, standards are dropping: Windows dirty Coffee stain on carpet Large shower head leaking Shower drain stopped water getting out - I cleaned this Bathroom floor dirty on edges Sash window in kitchen still not fixed after three visits over two years. No washing up liquid No tray - and we purchased and left one last year Wine glasses missing - those here don’t match

“Fantastic apartment in a lovely location, we would highly recommend.”

Everything you need was available. Free parking a bonus with it being a couple of minutes away and so safe and secure. Free parking a bonus and very safe and secure.

“Good location for stay in Dartmouth close to shops and restaurants and car park with free permit short distance from flat.”

View from flat up Fosse Street is really attractive unfortunately view from bedroom at the rear less so being of overgrown dilapidated yard. Flat very clean light airy and would recommend.

“This apartment is in an ideal location in the centre of Dartmouth.”

We have stayed here a number of times but sadly have seen a deterioration in the general maintenance over the past couple of years. The window in the kitchen area remains broken and unusable from 2 years ago (we pointed this out to Sykes Cottages at the time). Whilst the appliances, cutlery, crockery etc are clean along with the bathroom fixtures and the bed linen, the windows were covered in cobwebs which had obviously been there for sometime and the woodwork (skirting boards, windowframes) were dirty and dusty. On departure day, we duly stripped the bed of linen as requested in the property instructions to find that there were no pillow protectors in place, the pillows were stained, the duvet and mattress protector were also badly stained. It is a great shame that standards have not been maintained for this property and certainly does not reflect the usual quality of Sykes holiday cottages.

“Very comfortable and we'll maintained appartment .”

Could do with more shelving in shower room , especially inside the shower compartment .

- John, May 2024
Peter May 2024

“The flat was ok but a few things do need attention.”

The windows need a good clean they were dirty when we arrived, and a bit cobwebby and one we couldn't open . The shower needs some sort of a shelf or hooks because there's no where to put ones stuff, shampoo and sponge etc. When you come down the stairs, near the bottom, there needs to be some sort of handle to grab because you could topple down the last few steps. Also as a good will jester you could leave a small bottle of milk and a few tea bags for people who arrive late after a long journey with no shops open.

“The apartment is very central in a lovely part of Dartmouth, close to everything.”

The apartment is nice and bright with a kitchen well equipped. Beds very comfortable and nice crisp white sheets. Easy to find (above clothes shop). A few issues with the boiler , which affected our hot water and central heating but hopefully no problems for future uses as a new boiler to be fitted. Also has a cafetière and a jug you could put flowers in

- Nicola, March 2024
John and Suzanne September 2023

“You did the bare minimum to tick all the boxes.”

Very disappointed you did not even provide a cafetiere. Would suggest you review your Welcome Pack. It's too full of consequences rather than providing a warm welcome.

Ian July 2023

“A lovely apartment, nice and clean, and comfortable, and very adequate for our needs, only thing i found was finding actual apartment, after asking lady in shop, everything was lovely.”

- Ian, July 2023
Paul June 2023

“Lovely apartment really central to everything.”

A few stains on the carpet which I let the County Cottages know about and they said they would have them cleaned. We had a lovely time.

- Paul, June 2023
Nicola May 2023

“Lovely property and perfect location.”

Just a few things I should mention to the homeowner. The woodwork needs a lick of paint to keep it to the high standard I felt. There was a musky smell from the bathroom which when the windows were opened was fine. The carpets in the lounge were stained so could do with a good carpet clean. And utensils - there were no kitchen tongs for cooking & Maybe supply salt & pepper to guests in the cupboard.

- Nicola, May 2023
Jacqueline April 2023

“There were a couple of items missing that do not prevent a perfect score.”

I like a home from home feel and a blanket/throw would have made a snuggle on the sofa perfect. Also a jug or vase for fresh flowers something I also buy for my holiday lets, it takes the stark atmosphere out of rentals. Great location and nothing to complain about

- Jacqueline, April 2023
Timothy March 2023

“Staff excellent.”

Proximity to Pub next door should be mentioned. Front door jamming making it difficult to close, assume due swelling. Will continue to use Sykes in Dartmouth in future.

“Excellent apartment in a great location.”

“We had a lovely stay.”

Perfect location for us. The flat was very comfortable and close to all amenities. We will definitely book again.

- Sarah, October 2022
Liz September 2022

“Smelly drains - reported as soon as the office opened but no action seemed to have been taken.”

Stairs were in need of a vacuum but this was done immediately we mentioned it to your team. Why is the work on the sash windows not going ahead? One in the lounge has been broken for some while and will not open. A second in the bedroom needed propping to stay open.

- Liz, September 2022
K August 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay at Apartment 1 @ 22 Foss Street.”

Everything was fresh, clean and modern and the location was perfect - so close to the waterfront and all the amenities. As others have said, the bedroom was at the back of the property and so it wasn't noisy at all. There's a lovely view down Foss Street to St Saviour's Church, from the lounge window. Will definitely book again.

- K, August 2022
Karen July 2022

“We have loved our stay at your lovely apartment.”

Everything we wanted for a super week in Dartmouth. Close to all local amenities, shops, car park, restaurants and river excursions. Situated at the end of Foss street (the quintessential Dartmouth boutique shopping street), it was beautiful to look out of the window on such a lovely scene. The bedroom to the rear of the property meant that we were not disturbed at all and slept soundly. Excellent place to stay, would recommend.

- Karen, July 2022
Kevin July 2022

“This has been our 3rd stay in this lovely well appointed property located in an ideal position in Dartmouth.”

Whilst the bed linen and towels were spotlessly clean, on this occasion we were disappointed to find a number of areas of the apartment were dusty (skirting boards) and found splashes of spilt drink on the door surrounds. On stripping the bed linen at the end of our stay we also discovered that the pillows did not have any pillow protectors and some had stains,(a must for any bedding which is shared) and the mattress protector was covered in stains and needs urgent replacement. There was a bad smell coming from the sink in the kitchen area which we reported to the office. They said they had sent a plumber in who put chemicals down but this did not solve the problem. Overall we had a lovely stay but were disappointed that some standards had slipped since our previous stay and hope these will be rectified before we return.

- Kevin, July 2022
Grenville June 2022

“Nicely presented apartment lacking in a few basics.”

Lots of sounds heard from the flat above. View from the bedroom window is abysmal, very nasty. The noise from the bar next door could be a nuisance.

- Grenville, June 2022
Stephen June 2022

“Great little cottage perfect position only thing missing is a lamp in the living room Great place to go especially as they now have EV chargers in the main car park, well done the council.”

- Stephen, June 2022
Martin May 2022

“We loved the apartment overall, but there were a couple of things that affected our stay.”

No cleaning products were supplied other than soap and washing up liquid. Some anti-bac, or bleach would have been useful. There was also only one bin liner. There were no instructions regarding recycling, or bin days. We just assumed that we use the round bin on the street, which all of the passers by also used. The aerial on the TV was intermittent and sometimes we couldn’t get a signal. We found the sofa a little too small for us personally. A drying rack by the sink would also be useful and perhaps a lamp in the living room. We also thought a black out blind would help in the bedroom as we were woken by the light mornings. That being said, we had an absolutely wonderful stay and really enjoyed it. The flat was clean, well equipped for the kitchen. The bed was the most comfortable I’ve stayed in! Lots of storage, great location.

- Martin, May 2022

“Lovely little flat, had everything we needed in a great central location, would rent again.”

- Gary, April 2022
Denis March 2022

“There was a couple of issues with a broken blind and a leaking shower hose but these were rectified efficiently and we were very pleased with the homely accommodation.”

Apparently we could have arrived early and this would have been convenient but this was not obvious in the Sykes information which stated not to arrive before 4.00pm which was in fact the closing time to pick up the keys. Some additional literature needs to be included in the flat on waste collection saying where and when to put out the rubbish. I ended up taking all of my waste back home since there was nowhere to put the rubbish on a Saturday. A good stay however and will come back to this property.

- Denis, March 2022
Johanna February 2022

“We had a lovely 3 nights in the apartment in Foss Street.”

It was comfortable, clean & central to Dartmouth and perfect for our needs.

- Johanna, February 2022
K Elizabeth January 2022

“Great stay in Apartment 1@22Fosse Street.”

A cosy and well appointed property. We felt it had been thoroughly cleaned for our stay. Furniture and fittings all modern and of a high standard. Your staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. The position in Dartmouth was ideal for a winter break and parking not a problem - permit for car park was useful and only a couple of minutes walk as advised in description. Even the weather, for February, was kind.

- K Elizabeth, January 2022
Paul September 2021

“The Apartment was very clean and comfortable.”

Its location was ideal for us, easy walk to the harbour front, shops,cafes, as well as the Ferries and boat trips. Ideal if you don't want to use your car. We would certainly recommend it to our friends and family. We look forward to going there again very soon ourselves.

- Paul, September 2021
Debbie June 2021

“Lovely apartment in great location.”

Furnished to a high standard with everything you need to just relax and enjoy your stay.. During the corona restrictions it would be wise to pre book all restaurants as most were fully booked.

“The only thing we thought was missing from the apartment was some coat hooks in ...”

The only thing we thought was missing from the apartment was some coat hooks in the entrance we had taken lots of coats with us for all weathers and had to just lay them on the lounge floor there is quite alot of wall space for hooks and a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries just small touches but apart from that we thought it had everything we needed and was very central we would definitely book to go there again thank you

- Sandra, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We will pass on your comments for the owners consideration. We are glad that you had such an enjoyable stay in Dartmouth and look forward to welcoming you in the future! Property Owner

“A comfortable apartment in an excellent location.”

The car park worked well with the added bonus of being able to use the ticket in neighbouring towns. One small criticism was the lack of information about specific items in the flat - how to work the TV, adjust the heating or deal with rubbish. We worked them out but were surprised that there was no way to recycle waste apart from taking bottles to the bank, which we did.

- Sue, October 2020
Liz September 2020

“Great flat in super location!”

Needs coat hooks and shelving in the bathroom.

- Liz, September 2020

“The apartment is very central, clean, comfortable and has all the amenities we expect plus ideal location and car parking in town.”

All new and pristine with excellent fittings.

- Neil, September 2020
John August 2020

“The apartment is as described and in a great location, nice and central to all Dartmouth has to offer and immaculately clean.”

The only point letting down and it was a minor one that could be easily rectified is that there was no shelf in either the shower or near the sink in the bathroom to put toiletries or shampoos on. As such these items had to be put on the floor which made the use difficult difficult. Only a small point and one easily rectified.

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.

No parking at the property - parking permit supplied. The Mayors Avenue car park is a couple of minutes walk from the property.

Please note that the Mayors Avenue Car Park is closed for the Dartmouth Regatta Week.
