“We have just returned from a wonderful time in George Cottage.”

It’s a brilliant location, only 10 mins or so walk to the town. It’s light, airy, very clean and dog friendly. It ticked all our boxes! Beds are very comfortable and has a great shower in the bathroom. Having the parking space was definitely a bonus in Dartmouth. Great base for day trips too. We couldn’t fault it! Highly recommend staying at George Cottage

“Another lovely stay at George Cottage in Dartmouth.”

4 Adults this time, which the house accommodated well. We loved the new kitchen, a really good upgrade. Having a space directly outside to park the car is perfect and we left it there most of the week and walked into town, a 5-10 minute walk. We asked Coast and Country to arrange for the grass to be cut, which was done the same day and although the garden could do with some cutting back, that is the same everywhere with a wet and warm summer. We thoroughly recommend George Cottage, it is clean, well positioned and a great base for exploring Dartmouth and beyond. Thank you.

“The cottage interior was very nice and clean, lovely kitchen and very well equipped (only missing a frying pan!”

) and although there appears to be an extractor hood there are is no control panel. Nice little welcome pack and good instructions for the cottage. Beds were nice, double mattress abit springy but just personal preference. The outside area could benefit from a bit of TLC, steps up to the property looked a bit scruffy, weeds etc. and the patio area looked abit tired. The parking was great and a bonus for this area, we managed to get a motorbike and vw camper longways in front of the garages! Great location and easy to walk down to the riverfront.

“Basically everything was fine and we enjoyed our stay but just 3 points.”

We had a lot of trouble finding the house. From the road there is no indication of where number 17A is. We ended wondering if 17 was the one we had rented so we tried it and luckily made contact with its owner via a doorcam who put us right. There is also nothing to show where the car park spaces are, we suggests putting 17A on the garage doors at the back of the spaces to make this clear. Lastly, suggest removing weeds from the steps to the house and from the window boxes; it would’nt take 10 minutes and give a better first impression. On the plus side, everything very clean and very comfy beds.

Sadly no Christmas decorations Very disappointed ☹️ steps up to door and garden covered in moss and quite slippery and dark

“The property was lovely and really clean except for a couple of food items left in the wardrobe and down the side of the sofa which would have been difficult to spot by the cleaners but became evident during our stay.”

It was great to be able to easily walk into town with only a short hill which is partly why we chose the property. The kitchen was well stocked and the shower was the best we’ve experienced with self catering. Parking was a real bonus especially during Regatta week and was adequate for 1 large car. The garden is steep so others might want to be mindful with children, puppies, or old dogs but was suitable for our needs. The beds were super comfy and pillows just right. There was a hairdryer in the property despite being told by the agents there definitely wasn’t one. Also lots of extras such as hoover, airer, iron etc if needed. We agree the TV signal isn’t great but you can sign into various digital providers such as iPlayer and Prime. All in all we would recommend the property but prefer using a different agency as they weren’t they easiest to get hold of.

“Nice comfortable cottage with everything we needed, parking space is a big bonus”

Josie June 2023

“The TV signal is extremely poor some channels would not work at all whilst we were there.”

The large rug in the lounge area is a trip hazard has it has started to curl up on the edge. Net curtain needed on the back windows as in previous reviews you ae very overlooked from next door. The clock needs a new battery in lounge. The bath is very high and awkward to get into it needs a grab rail or a non slip mat. Internal doors could do with replacing never seen handles like these. You cannot close a door quietly they clunk shut. Garden is very overlooked from next door. Cooker is very futuristic and took a while to work out how to use it. The extractor fan does not work not even sure if it is connected at all. The weeds down the front steps need clearing as they encroach the pathway. It was ok for what we paid and the good weather was a bonus not far from the town either.

“A nicely well furnished and equipped property and we felt comfortable as soon as we arrived.”

We are in our seventies but we could cope with the walk back up the hill after a meal at one of the lovely restaurants or a stroll around Dartmouth.

Sam May 2023

“Very clean and wonderfully situated house in Dartmouth.”

The kitchen; very beautiful; had everything that you needed so you could cook your normal delights. The TV signal was hit and miss which was the only downside.

- Sam, May 2023
Anne May 2023

“Kitchen cupboards and handles not up to expected standard.”

Lack of privacy in garden. Externally steep steps need maintenance and weeding. Bedrooms very comfortable and stunning bathroom. Great location with parking within easy reach of all amenities.

- Anne, May 2023
Margaret April 2023

“Kitchen cupboards could do with new handles.”

Very difficult to open with small knobs. Cooker hood over oven not working. Bath could do with non-slip mat.

“A lovely cottage in centre of Dartmouth, with a parking space.”

Great location to access Bars and Restaurants, as well as history and the waterfront. Would stay again.

Brian September 2022

“Comfortable, spacious and there was everything there that we needed.”

It was nice having a patio to sit on during the warm days. It was only a 10 minutes walk into the town so we didn't need to use the car at all.

“A wonderful 2 week stay at George Cottage, Dartmouth.”

Brand new patio furniture and dawn to dusk sunshine, ensured many hours were spent in the garden. The house is a short walk from the Town centre and with the parking space at the cottage, we left the car and exploded on foot. George Cottage was very clean and welcoming, with everything provided to enjoy our stay. The shower was excellent and bedrooms comfortable. Our dog loved the garden and made friends with the friendly neighbours As ever, the local team in Dartmouth were excellent and checked to see that all was well during our stay and arranged a mid stay linen change. There is so much to do in and around Dartmouth and we wholeheartedly recommend George Cottage as being the ideal place to stay whilst exploring or relaxing in glorious Devon

“The property was clean and tidy and having a car parking space was a big bonus.”

The house was in easy walking distance to the town and I would definitely return again. The only criticism is the patio furniture was in poor condition and needs replacing.

Cleaning of the bath plughole needs to be cleaned I had to remove loads of hair for the water to run away The garden could do with a bit of attention we had to cut back a couple of branches to access the patio the garden furniture is very weather worn and is falling apart House very good although accessing the fridge is difficult with just a small knob

- Julie, June 2022
Lynn June 2022

“Great place to stay with the additional bonus of parking.”

We were disappointed to find that the patio chairs are very rickety and in our view verging on dangerous and, as a previous reviewer had noted, they should really be replaced before an accident happens. It isn't appropriate to promote the property as having a patio and seating if the chairs feel dangerous to use. This was reported to the Owner Relations Expert by email while we were there. Their response was that this comment would be passed onto the owners to let them know the patio chairs are in a dangerous condition with the hope they would purchase a new set of chairs. I do hope they do.

She said can you go out I have got somebody in.she was very rude

Paul September 2021

“Excellent location easy to access and park.”

5 minutes walk to town up a gradual hill. House was clean, tidy, well equipped and comfortable. The terrace got sun all day however the garden seats were in a poor state of repair and really need repairing or replacing. The gate cannot be secured if you have children or pets. The design of the knobs on the kitchen cabinets made it quite difficult for my wife and mother to open the fridge and dishwasher door. Taking all that into consideration we would stay again.

- Paul, September 2021
Sarah August 2021

“Positives - Comfortable and tidy house which overall met our requirements whilst on holiday.”

Good location for town and parking a real bonus, particularly as it was Regatta week whilst we were there. Negatives - We could not find a tin opener which would be very useful. Wardrobe doors were a bit stiff and difficult for our daughters to operate without assistance. Bedding slightly stained in places and TV signal poor and frustrating throughout our stay. Having only one bathroom was tricky, especially with two teenage daughters. A cloak room down stairs in the hallway would be a useful addition.

- Sarah, August 2021
Kate August 2021

“The house was lovely and very well Located to walk into Dartmouth.”

It was lovely to take our dog, however he is small so we could not let him Out in the back garden not on his lead as he could have escaped through the gate at the top of the steps or the slatted fence to the garden next door . As the house is advertised as dog friendly it would have been good of these could have been solid fencing with no chance of escaping . Other than that - a great stay !

“Cottage is in an ideal location to explore Dartmouth and the surrounding countryside.”

- Nick, July 2021
Philip July 2021

“The only problem is the back garden.”

It needs to be sorted out with the grass being cut etc. New back garden chairs and a table would also make the property a lot better. Maybe even having the outdoor steps jet washed would help.

“Great cosy cottage, very clean, and location was within easy reach of town centre.”

The property

George Cottage is a striking white-washed property resting within easy walking distance of Dartmouth's wonderful harbour and its pretty streets, which are lined with great eateries and wonderful shops.

This semi-detached cottage makes an ideal holiday home and has been designed with a family of four in mind, perfect for those seeking to explore all of the delights that this part of Devon's coastline has to offer.

Climb the exterior steps of the property to enter into the dwelling, where on entry you are welcomed into the brightly-decorated open-plan living room, a social space where everyone can gather to unwind of an evening.

The kitchen comes complete with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, and is certain to encourage a spot of home cooking.

The kitchen is accompanied by a large dining table, where the four of you can settle down to relish in a home-cooked treat and pop open a bottle of something to toast to a wonderful holiday in Devon.

Afterwards, kick back and relax on the plush sofas as you browse the channels of the TV or delve into a good book.

Once the evening has drawn to a close, retire to one of the two bedrooms, each one boasting a refreshing colour palette, quality linens and towels and plenty of storage space to keep your things.

Choose between the excellent king-size bedroom and the wonderful twin bedroom, which is served by the sleek family bathroom, boasting a shower over bath, basin and WC.

Sunny afternoons can be spent within the south facing garden, where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the table and chairs.

For the evenings where you do not feel like cooking, you will not have to venture far to find a plethora of places to eat and drink, as well as a number of shops and art galleries which are well-worth visiting.

Look forward to visiting the pretty harbour, where you are sure to see colourful boats bob happily in the water or why not hire a boat can explore the waters even further.

Within the town, you can also visit Royal Avenue Gardens or brush up on the local history at Tudor-style Dartmouth Museum, each one promising a leisurely afternoon exploring.

Once you have completed the town centre, stroll to Dartmouth Castle to soak up the views of the estuary before soaking up the sunshine at Sugary Cove Beach or walking along the South West Coast Path, where you can pay a visit to the likes of Brownstone Battery and Berry Head National Nature Reserve.

Venture further afield to the seaside town of Paignton via a journey on the Dartmouth Steam Railway, where you can enjoy the delights of the Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, a number of sandy beaches, a picturesque pier and adventure golf.

Alternatively, you can take the car to visit Brixham and Salcombe, or if you are visiting with children, a day out at Woodlands Family Theme Park and Torquay's Dinosaur World is a must.

Bring your loved ones to George Cottage to share a memorable break.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
