“Lovely property.”

Fantastic location and views from upstairs over to Kingswear. Could sit and watch the boats all day! We didn't really use the lounge as we enjoyed sitting in the dinning room or cute garden which was so peaceful. Property is well equipped and set up. The 90 steps to the property could be a challenge to some, but so worth it. We enjoyed our week so much, we have booked to stay again next year!

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are pleased you had a lovely time, and so much so, you have booked for next year. The views of the River Dart, and the peaceful garden are the reason we bought the house all those years ago. Property Owner

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent stay with Coast & Country Cottages. We were very sorry to read your review after trying so hard to rectify the issues you encountered. Unfortunately, not every property in Dartmouth offers a parking space or permit but allowing you use of a spare permit we hoped would help during your holiday. When your concerns were raised about the lounge being in close proximity to the stairs we had a stairgate dropped to the property within the hour. We did not put this up as were advised you were happy to install yourself. We strive for excellent customer service and have investigated your complaint thoroughly and can only apologise that you perceived our service in such a negative way. We are happy to see that you still enjoyed your visit to Dartmouth and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more positive experience in the future. With best wishes Coast & Country Cottages As the owner of Sandquay view, I would like to thank you for your feedback. Firstly I would like to point out that the Sykes site refers to the parking situation, however the Coast and Country team very kindly provided you with a free parking permit, which doesn’t appear in your feedback. Secondly, on arrival, after requesting a stair gate, we paid for a new one to be delivered to the property, via the team in the Dartmouth office at your request. Thirdly, I left the property two hours before your arrival, and all appliances including televisions were working, as were the remotes, indeed after your departure, I returned to find all appliances still working. The position of the television in the main bedroom is so you enjoy either the TV or DVD, or even radio, whilst relaxing in either the bed or the armchair. The downstairs bedroom was available to you if you had concerns about your child’s safety. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy your stay at our home, we love our house and spent five years searching for its unique location, and fantastic views of the River Dart. Dartmouth is an historic location, with a high elevation, established before the advent of the motor car, and its charm lies within these facts, which leads to compromise with modern day living, for example very few homes have car driveways, and easy access . We hope you return to Devon one day , and enjoy all it has to offer, including the steam train, which passes our house once every 30 minutes, which can enjoy from our elevated deck in our enclosed garden, which we often do whilst enjoying an al fresco lunch .

“It would be wonderful if the people who stayed at your property were able to have a visitors parking permit for the duration of the stay.”

We loved your property and your neighbours who we met. Your house had everything we wanted. We had lovely weather so the only other thing I can think of would be to have a table outside that could house all 6 of us. Many thanks.

- Alison, August 2023

We are very pleased you loved our property, and we are very lucky to have lovely neighbours. Thank you very much for your feedback, regarding the tables outside, sometimes people put the two sets available together, to seat 6 people. Regarding the visitors parking permit, it sadly doesn’t apply to Sandquay Road, only the car park in Mayors Avenue, otherwise we would have provided one. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

“The cottage was lovely, had everything we needed and spectacular views.”

We did find some random things left by previous guests including a pair of child's slippers, a rucksack and a tooth!

- Jo, May 2023

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are thrilled you loved the property, the views really are special. We can only apologise that some belongings had been left in the property, we can confirm that these have now been removed. Please know if you had let us know during your stay someone would have popped up to get them. We are so pleased you enjoyed your holiday and do hope we can welcome you back to the area soon.

“Lovely house, ideal location for centre of Dartmouth and access to BRNC which we came to visit”

Glad you enjoyed your stay . Our home is very handy for the BRNC as it used to be a naval officers home :) Property Owner
Kirsty April 2023

“A lovely house, which was comfortable and well equipped.”

The kitchen had everything we needed and our children loved all the toys and DVDs! Gorgeous view from the upstairs lounge and main bedroom. Slightly quirky layout with the bathroom being downstairs. Nice little garden which catches the sun in the afternoon.

Thank you for your kind comments! Glad you had a lovely time ! Hope to see you again! Property Owner

The property

Sandquay View is a charming holiday home with views of the River Dart and is located in an elevated position.

This former Royal Naval officers' quarters provides a great base for groups of friends and family wishing to explore historic Dartmouth and the surrounding area.

The home backs on to the grounds of the Britannia Royal Naval College.

The kitchen has a variety of amenities, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, making it easy to prepare meals at home.

The adjacent dining room is great for holding family dinners, and the first-floor sitting room has a TV and a sofa that are great for watching movies together.

Choose from one of three attractively decorated bedrooms as the night falls: a king-size room with views of the river, a double room, or a ground-floor twin room.

A raised terrace and a gravel garden are located outside, where you may sit and enjoy a morning coffee or al fresco dining and watch the Dartmouth steam train go by.

Visit the Dartmouth Museum to learn about the neighbourhood before visiting the Royal Avenue Gardens and the picturesque harbour.

Take a trip back in time at Bayard's Cove Fort and Dartmouth Castle, tour the Dartmouth Museum, or hire a boat and sail down the River Dart.

Take your beach gear and go to the Blue Flag Blackpool Sands, where you may read a book as you sunbathe, try out some water sports, and eat at the on-site café.

Continue on to Paignton for your final visit.

Paignton is home to a number of family-friendly sites like the Zoo, Paignton Pier, and Fairy Cove's sandy shore that are well worth checking off your list.

Visit Dartmouth's wonders while staying at Sandquay View.

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.

Note: Please be advised that there are three flights of stairs leading up to the property (a total of 90 steps).
