Marion September 2024

“Lovely, comfy cottage and provided everything we needed.”

Welcome pack of Prosecco, milk and shortbread was a nice, helpful treat. Only gripe which was out of your control was different people parked over the parking bay a few times, despite the notices. Sykes hols want customers to do everything for them via their website and it was difficult to get help over phone which was annoying.

- Marion, September 2024

Marion, Really glad you enjoyed your stay at Nookie Cottage. We are sorry about the parking issue. We have not experienced this before, so hopefully it is a temporary problem. Many thanks, Chris & Jackie Property Owner
Trevor June 2024

“Great cottage in fantastic position There was a pumping noise that lasted most of the night in the top bedroom but we soon got used to it.”

- Trevor, June 2024

Thanks for the positive comments and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. I think he noise you are referring to is the bathroom extractor fan in the attached cottage. Perhaps they left it on. Property Owner
Jeffrey June 2024

“Lovely cottage within easy walking distance of town centre.”

Clean and tidy with all equipment available. Only one shower so if a extra could be fitted in top bathroom it would make a great improvement as just one shower is not enough for four adults. Parking is only for a small car and we had to park away from property. Another point is the mattresses could updated.We would recommend this place and would stay again.

- Jeffrey, June 2024

Thank you for the positive feedback and we hope you will stay with us again. We recently refurbished the second floor bathroom and installed bath taps with a hand held shower attachment. Unfortunately the sloping ceiling does easily allows us to install a stand alone shower. The bath is also useful for guests with small children. The property details do state that the parking is suitable for a small/medium car. I do park my C class Mercedes in the space. Kind regards, Chris & Jackie Property Owner
Craig November 2023

“A lovely stay at Nookie cottage with a great location, ease of access to town centre 400 meters away with a nice flat walk.”

Cosy and comfortable, but as clearly stated, parking is only for a very small car and stairs to in the cottage to top floor are very steep with low head room, so care is to be taken. As always Dartmouth was lovely.

- Craig, November 2023

Kerrie August 2023

“We absolutely loved this accommodation but the parking was a real problem.”

We came thinking we could leave the car on the drive and forget all about it but this was not possible due to there being a car on next door’s drive. This meant we were unable to get ours on Nookie cottage’s drive. We played musical car parks all week which was costly and frustrating! The market square car park is free (and close by) but getting a space there is the hard bit. The park and ride is also an option but we didn’t like the thought of leaving the car so far away from nookie cottage. The cottage itself is gorgeous and has everything you could possibly want for the week stay (apart from enough toilet roll - pack some extra to last the week!). We will most likely return next year as we loved the cottage and it’s location but we will be bringing my mini so we can definitely fit on the driveway!

- Kerrie, August 2023

Kerrie, Sorry to hear about the parking problems. It is tight, but we get our C class Mercedes on the drive even when there is a car parked next door. Glad you enjoyed the cottage and we look forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards, Chris & Jackie Property Owner
Sarah June 2023

“The cottage was lovely.”

The parking space was a bit tight but we got our mid size car in the space. Excellent location, loved the shower. If I had one niggle the bed was a tad soft. All in all an excellent stay and will go back

- Sarah, June 2023

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Vanessa June 2023

“Lovely cottage, centrally located and nice attention to detail.”

Well equipped kitchen & even had sharp knives!! Loved the coffee/drinks station. You need to list stuff like the hairdryer & straighteners on the website & then I wouldn’t have packed my own. Nicely decorated & maintained and easy to use heating & hot water.

- Vanessa, June 2023

We are really pleased you enjoyed your stay and thank you for the positive feedback. Property Owner

Beautiful property with everything you need and to a high standard In a perfect location if you need to be on flat level Would definitely recommend this cottage

Julie July 2022

“Lovely old cottage couldn’t really fault anything had a fabulous holiday.”

Parking space a bonus in Dartmouth no problems getting our car in it. Easy short walk into town. Top floor access not for everyone and as previously mentioned wouldn’t have wanted to be in the cottage with 4 adults fine for family.

- Julie, July 2022

“Lovely, warm and cosy period cottage with traditional features but all modern conveniences, including Nespresso coffee machine.”

Lovely quality crockery, cutlery etc and sharp kitchen knives, which are so often lacking. Comfortable bed. It was just two of us so we used the first floor bedroom and generously sized shower room, but there was another double and a single room on the second floor with a bathroom with a bath. Bed linen was good quality. Good access to internet and Smart TV apps and lovely, easy to use, gas fire to take the chill off when necessary. Appreciated the bottle of bubbly and initial supply of milk, tea bags, coffee capsules, dishwasher tablets and wash capsules (a second kitchen bin liner would have been useful). Like others we found the car park space tight, especially when the neighbouring space is occupied. My hatchback is described as compact by its manufacturer but at most it's small mid-sized, but it was a squeeze and you have to reverse in or you can't get out of the car. If we had been more than two plus a small dog and driven a larger car we wouldn't have been able to use the space. The ground floor area of the cottage is lovely, but again, we were only two and it would have been tight for space with 4 adults. Very easy walking distance of everything in town. We particularly liked the Dart Cafe as the dog was warmly welcomed. We drove to Brixham via the lower ferry, and went to Kingswear as foot passengers to ride the steam train and back. Easy access to the South Coast Path on a good day too.

- Kerry, March 2022

Thanks for the comprehensive review and positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed our cottage and beautiful Dartmouth. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Caroline March 2022

“Cosy cottage.”

Good fire, comfortable sofa and only a short walk to the centre of Dartmouth. Spacious bathroom on the first floor. Second double bedroom is small. The floor in the main bedroom slopes so it would be good to put something under the bed to level the bed. You can hear the neighbours walking about next door. We thought it was a nice little cottage.

- Caroline, March 2022

Thanks for the positive feedback. We are glad you got to experience the charms of staying in a 200 year old cottage ;-) Property Owner
Ann February 2022

“A very cosy and comfortable cottage in a great location.”

Easy walking distance to the centre of Dartmouth and all flat. Parking space was so convenient, we hardly used the car (small space ideal for smaller cars). Would certainly use this cottage again.

- Ann, February 2022
Alan February 2022

“Lovely cottage and very comfortable.”

Well situated for walking into town. Top floor room not for taller people - mind your head! Otherwise excellent.

Susan January 2022

“Lovely little cottage in a great location and the added bonus of a car parking space.”

Everything you could think of was provided. The beds were very comfortable which is important to us. It was also lovely and warm as we stayed during February

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.
