“Lovely cottage up some very steep stairs which was clean and had the comfiest beds.”

The toilet cistern was constantly running so we reported it. The plumber arrived within the hour and offered to isolate as it was a known problem it but we did not want to be left short of a toilet with 6 of us so my husband fixed it. The gate to the garden’s lock was also broken so just needed a little lov. Great views over Dartmouth and conveniently placed

“Moonrakers is such a lovely house, spectacular views from every window and large enclosed garden and parking in Dartmouth, which is rare.”

Steps were a challenge but good at keeping us fit. Lovely comfy beds and great facilities. Nice welcome pack of a few essentials and there were tea towels and oven gloves - everything you need really. We could imagine us living there… missing it already!

“We loved Moonrakers Cottage and will definitely stay again if we visit Dartmouth in the future.”

Great location, amazing views, well equipped cottage with great facilities. It was a huge positive having our own car parking at the property, however we could only get our car (Volvo XC60) partially into the open garage but it was enough so that next door could get in and out of their garage/drive. People with very large cars would struggle. The location of the property is also a big plus with lots of amenities within a short 'flat' 5 minute walk. However, the steps and path from the garage to the cottage would not be suitable for anyone with a mobility problem or bad knees/hips. We are all relatively fit and active but still found the steps and path a challenge after a busy day walking coastal paths. Dartmouth is not for the faint hearted. The scores given above reflect a few minor issues which we reported to the office but none of these issues would stop us staying here again or from us recommending to others as they are all minor safety and maintenance issues: 1. The wooden porch beside the garage was in a bad start of repair when we arrived. Wood rotten causing the door to come off some of the hinges and the doorframe to snap on the Monday of our stay due to heavy rain and wind conditions. The door had to be left balanced which was precarious when we were using it multiple times in the day when going out and about. 2. The house had changed colour from the photos on the website. House is now blue instead of yellow. This would not have been an issue if we had not been looking for yellow house because the signage for Moonrakers had washed off the house sign (piece of slate which was lying on the ground). 3. As mentioned above the house signage has come off the house sign so we found 20 Clarence Street so knew we were in the right location but went to drive pass 22 because no sign visible from the street and as I mentioned above the house we thought we were looking for was yellow not blue. 4. The hedge which runs the full length of the path was overgrown which meant it was awkward walking up and down the path particularly with luggage and bags. This hedge needs to be trimmed right back. We didn't notice this when we arrived but we think it sprouted because it was very hot Friday/Saturday/Sunday and then very heavy rain on the Monday and it was after this that the hedge was covering almost half the width of the path. Points 2, 3 and 4 are all quick and easy fixes which would help with visitors first impressions. Also I think it would be useful to update the notice in the kitchen regarding recycling. We took our glass bottles to Mayors Car Park but as we couldn't find any info regarding what to do with paper and plastic we brought our recycling home. When I popped into the office to hand the keys back the very helpful staff member said we could have put all our recycling in a black bag and these would be taken away and sorted when the rest of the rubbish was removed. This would be useful information to know. Thanks again for a great stay. We loved Moonrakers Cottage and hope to visit again if we are back in this area in the future. Thank you to Coast and Country for great communications and excellent customer services.

“We loved Moonraker - great location, amazing views and the house was really spacious, well equiped, clean and comfortable.”

We would definately return to this house - delightful.

“The property was well equipped with everything we needed, We had a lovely stay and enjoyed your place it was like home from home.”

We struggled with the parking as we have a large 7 seater car, my elderly parents struggled with the long path and steps up to the property.

“This is a lovely property and very comfortable.”

Nice views across to Kingswear. Very handy for walking into Dartmouth We did find the parking tricky. We have a large 4x4. But we managed We don’t think we will re visit as our aging knees struggled with bringing the luggage up the steps. But that’s our issue. We had a lovely week

“All excellent One small thing… whilst we were advised that it is not unusual the lack of oven gloves was a problem.”

I would urge you to reconsider. We were forced to use a towel. Had I burnt myself or set fire to anything we’d probably be suing you! But otherwise … we had a brilliant time in a great location with fabulous views.

Christine November 2022

“This is the 3rd time we have been to Moonrakers as we love the house and location.”

We went in February this year and saw the damp in the kitchen where the roof is leaking and although it didn’t spoil our holiday we thought it would have been sorted on our return visit this month but sadly it wasn’t. Again it didn’t spoil our holiday but this problem needs sorting now. It is a lovely warm house with loads of room but just starting to get a little dated now. Could do with a bit of TLC. We will be back though as we love the views.

“We have stayed at Moonrakers quite a few times now.”

The improvements made over recent years are appreciated- such as garden improvements, more garden furniture etc. the cupboards seemed clearer this visit as there was very little room for food before ( we always self cater as there are 6 adults in our family group). We do find the double bed downstairs very hard and the family bathroom needs a bit of tlc- the toilet roll holder has been loose and the flush handle broken on our last two visits. Other than that, we always have a fantastic stay. There is everything we need , the house is so homely and the real bonus of two parking spaces. Also incredible views over the river. We are already booked in for next year! A great holiday in a lovely clean home.

- Janet, August 2022
Paul July 2022

“Although the house was excellent we found the service from Coastal Cottages below standard.”

They promised to call me about a request I had made prior to our holiday but didn't. On the moving out day they had moved offices and failed to notify us so initially, we took the keys to the wrong site and then had to be directed to the new office. I would strongly suggest that another dustbin is provided as two bins for a house that size is not sufficient.

- Paul, July 2022
James May 2022

“Moonrakers is ideally situated, well equipped and comfortable.”

The garden is delightful. We would certainly like to return provided we keep fit enough to manage the steps to the house! The hedge alongside the approach path needs cutting back - presumably this will be done when we are out of the bird-nesting season.

- James, May 2022
Anonymous April 2022

“For several years we have enjoyed a week with family at Moonrakers which is well situated for the town.”

The house itself is well appointed and leave having had a restful break. We thought the welcome pack was a nice touch this year and as always the staff in the local office are friendly and helpful.

“The beds were really uncomfortable, the mattress, certainly in the downstairs room on the left, was really hard.”

Also the boiler makes a really loud noise, as do the seagulls on the roof.

Richard December 2021

“Really nice House with stunning views over Dartmouth.”

I found the Sofa a little uncomfortable, back rest not high enough for me. House contains everything you will need for a really comfortable stay, including a Lovely Big Bath. There is easy access to the rear garden for dog owners from the lower floor, so you can dry your dog off in the porch after it has been outside. Parking is a little bit tricky but we were able to Park two normal sized cars without obstructing the next doors garage. Had a leak in the ceiling of the Kitchen bay window Christmas morning, as we had high winds and torrential rain, so ended up mopping up the floor and table before we could do anything else Christmas day. This happened once again when we had high winds and rain from a certain direction. We did notice brown marks on the ceiling when we moved in, but thought it only to be damp stains, (Have reported the facts to the office on departure). Apart from that we had a really comfortable and relaxing week in the house, my daughter says she had the best nights sleep in the upper bedroom, than she's had for years. Just a word of warning reference the steps and slope leading up to the house, they will certainly keep you fit.

Craig November 2021

“Our second stay at 'Moonrakers' in Dartmouth.”

Great location and a well equipped house with views out of this world. Garden update nice to see, generally a clean house on arrival albeit some attention to dust on lights and fittings needed and as per some other feedback, new bedding and quality pillows would lift the experience of the stay to another level. Overall value for money and we have re-booked for next year.

- Craig, November 2021
Janet August 2021

“This was our fourth stay.”

Previous years I made a comment about how bad the garden was. You did notify me that the garden had been done and I have to say we were so pleased. We were lucky that we had good weather and this year we were able to sit in the sun and fully use the outside area. A huge improvement thank you. We are already booked in for next year.

- Janet, August 2021
Kate May 2021

“This was our 5th visit to Moonrakers - the perfect place to chill out.”

Weather was not so good this time sadly. The girls at Coast & Country office are a bonus (Holly, Paula and Jo etc) always on hand to deal with any queries - always so pleasant! We liked the makeover of the garden. It would be nice to have some new pillows - the ones in use are old and lumpy. On the 41 steps up to property it would be good to have white lines painted at edge of the steps (my husband is registered blind and the slope with steps is deceiving). We have already re-booked Moonrakers for June next year when hopefully the weather will be better.

- Kate, May 2021
Angela May 2021

“Sykes admin unbelievably poor - really hard to make meaningful contact.”

Your records should already show my dissatisfaction at pre-holiday admin. That said, the cottage was great - we would book it again, but if possible through a different agent. While we would not miss out on any accommodation we wanted in future by not booking through Sykes, we would always look to see if it was possible to book through other agents first.

“We have just returned from a fabulous few days at Moonrakers.”

... lovely house, great location and amazing views! We loved Dartmouth and despite choosing not to go into any pubs or restaurants due to Covid risks we had a great time cooking and eating in instead. Local beaches were empty and we even had some sun! Thank you very much!

Janet July 2020

“We had a wonderful holiday.”

This is our third year staying here. The parking is a real plus and the views are amazing. As we were conscious not to go out to much we cooked every day and found we had everything we needed in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and everything very clean. However, we were really disappointed with the garden. I left feedback about this last year too and we had hoped for an improvement this year. The grass was very long and untidy. The bushes are huge and borders untidy. The patio was covered in dried leaves from autumn last year- it looked generally neglected, and we were disappointed to find it in such a poor state- especially this year as we , along with many others, wanted to self cater and be around the house more. Having said this we left feeling like we had had a brilliant holiday this year. The position of the house was great, and Dartmouth looked lovely.

- Janet, July 2020

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review for Moonrakers, we are delighted that you had a brilliant holiday despite the issues with the garden. We are sorry that the garden failed to meet your expectations, the owner has organised a new gardener for the property and have had a new lawn laid at the end of this summer. We do hope to be able to welcome you back to Dartmouth again soon. Property Owner
Hollie August 2019

“We had the best week at Moonrakers!”

Beautiful house in the perfect location and everything you could need (and more). Ideal for families (we have 2 boys 7 &3). Comfy beds and the views were amazing.

- Hollie, August 2019
Kate May 2019

“This was our fourth visit to Moonrakers - we really do enjoy staying there.”

However, it must be said that we felt the property internally needed a "deep clean". The house this time benefits from smart new double glazing but the property is tired and a thorough deep clean would not go amiss. The outdoor furniture on the balcony was dirty and the garden furniture on the patio has definitely seen better days - we had lovely weather but did not feel the seating was clean. Having said all the above, it is a lovely property and a great location and we will consider booking Moonrakers again.

- Kate, May 2019
J April 2019

“This was our sixth stay at Moonrakers so obviously we enjoy this property.”

It is spacious, comfortable, well furnished and has excellent views over the River Dart and countryside. On sunny mornings the light streams in through the windows and it is lovely to sit on the verandah enjoying the views over to Kingswear. Even on a dull or rainy day one can enjoy watching boats, trains and even an occasional helicopter from the comfort of the sitting room or kitchen. Potential guests do need to be aware that these views are due to the property's elevated position therefore there are 38 steps to climb to the main entrance. We always end the holiday fitter than at the beginning! Parking for two small cars is invaluable though it is a slightly tricky reverse to get onto the street.

- J, April 2019
Liz April 2019

“Specification of facilities (use of swimming pool) had changed.”

Although this was mentioned in small print on the website, it would have been helpful to have confirmed this detail to us when we booked. This was our fourth or fifth visit to the property. Our complaint on this point was not dealt with well. I was advised it was 'all my fault as I had not read the small print'. Some empathy would have been helpful. Much of the crockery in the property is looking tired now and replacement should be considered. Why were there only three dishwasher tablets for a property of this size. Is money really that tight?

Mr Derek Stinson Sep 2017

“I assume this refers to the property rented?”

Lovely place in immaculate condition. The climb from the road is exhausting at our age and the parking is very troublesome with a big car. Tight for space and a reversal into a road with no view until right out. Ha.ve loved previous stays but age has caught up with us and we will seek something not so exhausting next time

- Mr Derek Stinson, Sep 2017

Yes, it does! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. We were pleased to read that you found Moonrakers to be a lovely place and in immaculate condition. However, it sounds like it's time to choose an alternative property - please do not hesitate to contact the sales team on 01548 843773 and we would be delighted to help you find a property in a more suitable location. Thanks again, for your feedback, we look forward to hearing from you. Property Owner

“Excellent property within a few minutes walk of river and town.”

Pleasant garden with sitting area. Good quality fittings and equipment throughout property. People with mobility difficulties need to be aware that there are approx. 20 steps between street level and the entrance to the property. However the elevated position gives views of the river from the sitting room and upper bedroom. Lovely to sit on the settee in the evening and see the lights of Kingswear across the river.

“Superb place and in beautiful condition.”

Only complaint is that there is an arduous climb from the road and although I am a fit 70 year old it took a lot out of me carrying lugggae etc. up and down (especially up). I feel a word of warning for the older or perhaps less fit and able is necessary as I am concerned that some clients might not cope with the demands.

We value your feedback regarding the property and were delighted to read that you found Moonrakers a superb place, in beautiful condition, although a climb from the road.

“Excellent location, views and facilities - it was as if the owners/their family had just left their house for us to move in to their well equipped home!”

Although the 'cleaning' liquid stain on the hall rug could not be treated the 'stains' that looked like red wine/gravy drips as someone walked from the kitchen perhaps could be removed. Only practical issue for us was the unclear 'recycling' requirements + only 1 extra black bin liner

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.

The property is accessed via a footpath with two sets of steps, 41 in total.

1 well behaved dog permitted.
