“Beautiful apartment in excellent location.”

Very comfortable and clean. Having two bathrooms was also a bonus and the outside terrace area is a great addition to the property

“A delightful, central property.”

It was very clean and well appointed. The stairs leading up to the property are narrow for carrying luggage but entering into the property makes the effort worthwhile. As a frequent Dartmouth visitor, I would highly recommend Fairhaven. As usual, excellent support from Coast and Country/Sykes.

- Kristi, May 2024

Thanks Kristi - we’re very glad you enjoyed your stay at Fairhaven. Hope we can welcome you back one day soon. Property Owner
Elizabeth March 2024

“We absolutely LOVED Fairhaven!”

Spacious, comfortable, beautifully appointed apartment - even better than photos depict. We enjoyed being right in the centre of Dartmouth. We didn’t want to leave! Fabulous week. Highly recommend.

- Elizabeth, March 2024

Thanks so much Elizabeth! We're very glad you had such a nice time at Fairhaven. We hope we can welcome you back one day soon. Property Owner
Campbell September 2023

“My wife and I enjoyed our week staying at Fairhaven which is a spacious and comfortable apartment located in the centre of Dartmouth and close to local amenities including a mini supermarket a few yards away It is fully equipped with all mod cons which will suit in particular those who want to self-cater.”

A couple of negatives. Overall the apartment was very clean and tidy however black mould on the grouting between some tiles in the main shower was unsightly and surprising to find. Cigarette ends (despite this being a no smoking apartment) discarded on the decking in the outdoor area had been overlooked. Finally a word of caution to anyone with a mobility issue. The stairs mentioned in the letting particulars are turning and fairly steep and can prove difficult to negotiate with cases.

- Campbell, September 2023

Many thanks for your kind words about your recent stay at Fairhaven. We're very glad you had an enjoyable time. We were, however, very sorry to read your comments about the bit of mould in the tile grouting and especially the discarded cigarette butts left on the deck. We have spoken to our cleaner and she is going to see that both issues are rectified. Thanks for pointing them out. Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

“Such a beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, tranquil haven right in the heart of Dartmouth.”

Absolutely perfect in every way! Thank you.

- Jenny, July 2023

Maitland June 2023

“Absolutely perfect.”

The only downside to the property was the stairs when lugging luggage. Was only arr/dep so no biggy and would not deter us from returning

Gill May 2023

“We have now stayed twice at Fairhaven and are very happy with this property.”

It is spacious, very clean, well equipped and in a great central location. Love it!

- Gill, May 2023

It was lovely to welcome you back Gill. Thanks for your review. Hope to see you again in Dartmouth soon. Property Owner
Michelle November 2022

“The property was fabulous.”

Beautiful in a great location. The Coast and Country staff in Dartmouth were amazing. We arrived at the office needing a property at the last minute which they did and they sorted out a problem with the hot water immediately. Very impressed.

- Michelle, November 2022

Thanks for your positive feedback Michelle. Glad all worked out in the end and you enjoyed your stay at Fairhaven. Hope to see you back in Dartmouth again soon. Property Owner
Susan Jane September 2022

“I would highly recommend the holiday property.”

Holiday property was fantastic. Great location, very central, quiet at night (apart from hourly clock striking - not a problem for us), comfortable, spacious & light. Nice decor. Kitchen well equipped (needed a salad bowl) & bathrooms great. Only 2 criticisms. 1) the stairs & entrance hall were filthy. This has been commented on in reviews before. It would take 10-15 minutes at most to wipe the dust off the stairs & Hoover the front door mat. It was reminiscent of student flat days. Gave a bad first impression. 2) Pillows were cheap nylon ones with no pillow protector. Mine pillow was yellow & a bit yuk. Given that you are still asking people to strip their own beds because of covid (slightly surprised re this) it would be sensible to ensure pillows are not stained.

- Susan Jane, September 2022
Jennifer September 2022

“Everything was excellent in the property.”

Very well stocked with everything you would need, beds comfortable. The only drawback for me was the stairs to appartment, they were steep and “spiral”, but this was all mentioned in the literature. The location was excellent.

- Jennifer, September 2022
Greg August 2022

“Superb accommodation.”

Great spot, great layout, great furnishings and design - loved the terrace. The only thing i would say is advertise the difficulties of getting luggage or anything of size to the apartment a bit more. Just so people can prepare. But not an issue to us. Thank you for a fantastic week

- Greg, August 2022

Thanks so much for your lovely comments. We're so glad you enjoyed the apartment. We'll relay your suggestion to the letting agent. Many thanks again and hope to see you back in Dartmouth one day. Property Owner
Anna July 2022

“Super location and the photos don't do it justice.”

Excellent facilities and great to have 2 bathrooms. Our only negative is that the bin sack in the hallway was full with extra bin bags on the floor when we arrived on the Saturday, and it wasn't emptied until Thursday meaning it was really smelly in the stairwell. Not sure if this was the normal collection day?

- Anna, July 2022

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled you loved the property and its location. We are very sorry for the rubbish situation. We have spoken with the relevant parties and this was in fact the lower apartments rubbish that should have been kept outside and going forward it will be. We can only apologise that it was there for your stay. We do hope you a lovely holiday and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner
Clare April 2022

“We have stayed in several properties over the years.”

This was one of the best. Excellent location, beautifully furnished, top quality fittings, extremely well equipped.

- Clare, April 2022

Hi Clare - we really appreciate your wonderful review and hope to see you again in Dartmouth one day. Property Owner
Rosalind October 2021

“This was our fourth stay at Fairhaven and it didn’t disappoint!”

There were even a few improvements on the previous visit such as bedside units in the main bedroom and expanding airers in each room.

- Rosalind, October 2021
David October 2021

“The accommodation was very good but was missing a few touches which would have made it excellent - replacement toilet rolls and a welcome pack, and the round door handles made a number of the doors difficult to open.”

- David, October 2021
Sarah September 2021

“The location of the apartment is fantastic to explore Dartmouth.”

The quality is superb, just recommend little tweaks like more cleaning products made available and extra bin bags. Apart from that it’s perfect!

- Sarah, September 2021
Patience August 2021

“It was exactly as stated on the pictures Good location, good parking around which are close to all amenities Good food places to eat from and friendly people.”

Enjoyed it also Kids loved it as they had lots of activities to do would definitely go back Just have to make sure no heavy stuff as the stairs can be too much when going in or leaving We had to light pack but it meant so many trips But was worth the Accomodation

- Patience, August 2021
Victoria July 2021

“Excellent accommodation in a central location but due to Dartmouth being so busy, even with the car park permit it was often very difficult to find a parking spot and impossible to find an evening meal unless booked several weeks in advance.”

- Victoria, July 2021
Andrew July 2021

“The accommodation was excellent, it looked great on the photos but was even better in real life.”

The rooms were all spotless and the facilities were excellent. It’s location was right in the centre of Dartmouth and we really couldn’t have asked for anymore. In terms of minor frustrations we were expecting a coffee machine and the use of a hair dryer (both mentioned on the site) neither was available. Not a major inconvenience but it may be worth amending the facilities section if not available. I also need to give a mention to the Seagulls - there are so many, again nothing to do with the property but there are literally hundreds and I can be a little noisy. We would definitely recommend our family and friends to stay here in the future. Thanks for letting us stay at your amazing property.

- Andrew, July 2021

We really appreciate your positive feedback with regard to your recent stay at Fairhaven. We’ve just taken over the ownership of the flat, so apologies that there were some inconsistencies with what was advertised on the site. There are now two hairdryers available! Response from the owner. Property Owner

The property

Fairhaven is a delightfully presented and extremely well equipped second floor apartment in an historic landmark building in the very heart of the town, just seconds away from the Royal Avenue Gardens, boutiques, art galleries, cafes, restaurants and famous riverfront.

From a shared entrance at ground floor level, two flights of stairs lead up to the duplex apartment.

This in turn leads into a spacious hallway, off which are the reception areas, kitchen and main bathroom.

A light and bright living space has been tastefully modernised whilst retaining many original features, including beautiful antique pine flooring.

The area is stylishly furnished with two large sofas, feature fireplace (not in use), widescreen Smart TV, side and coffee tables.

Large, interconnecting double doors can be fully opened to the adjoining dining room which has a solid oak table seating six comfortably.

Modern and very well-equipped kitchen with sleek wall and floor units, four-ring gas hob, integrated electric oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and two breakfast stools. Three bedrooms, on the upper floor and each with a glimpse of the River Dart!

An elegant staircase leads up to a double bedroom at second floor level with King size bed, bedside chairs, fitted wardrobes with shelving, dressing table and chair, original feature fireplace (not in use), and large window overlooking the town.

The second bedroom has two single beds (that can be linked on request to create a super-King size double), wooden bedside units, chest of drawers, chair and DAB radio.

The third single bedroom can also double up as a lovely ‘snug’ with church views and bi-folding doors to a superb roof terrace.

The room is furnished with a single bed, chest of drawers and Smart TV.

On the lower level is a luxurious, contemporary bathroom with tiled bath, large separate walk-in shower (with rainhead and hand-held showers), w.c., wash-hand basin, towel rail and illuminated mirror.

On the upper floor is a shower room with shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and w.c. An annual parking pass is provided for the long stay car park, just 3-5 minutes walk (Mayors Avenue) subject to availability/space.

Additional/alternative parking at Dartmouth ‘Park & Ride’ approx. 5-7 minutes’ drive away. The beautifully furnished and decorated two-storey accommodation has been designed with comfort and convenience in mind and is ideally located for couples or a family looking for central base in Dartmouth.

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.

There are two flights of steps leading up to the duplex apartment.

NOTE - No parking at the property - parking permit supplied (car park is approximately 3-5 minute walk from the apartment). Please note that the Mayors Avenue car park is closed for the Regatta Week.

All bed linen and bath/hand towels are supplied. You will need to bring your own beach towels.

Please note there is a fire alarm test carried out every Thursday around 10am.
