Oona 
“The cottage was extremely comfortable, clean and in a great location.”
Little touches such as fresh flowers, hospitality pack and a personalised note were lovely. Parking was a real bonus but as described it was very difficult to get the car - a Ford Focus - both in and out - in fact it took us nearly half an hour to get the car out on departure. Would definitely stay here again.

Peter “Very nice property.”
Well equipped would benefit from maybe a tumble dryer. Would definitely recommend this property. This was our second stay at 7, Charles St and will hopefully be able to book again in the future. The parking at the property is worth the time trying to get in, you have to just take your time then shut down the electric door and forget about it.

Anthony “Nice cottage, the double bed was smaller than we are use to, but other than that no complaints.”
The location is excellent and my Skoda Fabia fitted into the parking area easily. We would certainly stay there again.
- Anthony, October 2024 -
Patricia “The cottage is situated in a prime position,for all the amenities.”
Not far to walk for anything.Parking can be a problem,but we were able to park in garage.If you have a big car it would be problem with the garage. The cottage is lovely,so comfortable,everything you need.Highly recommend it,for a break.

Lynn “We had a lovely stay.”
This was the first time we stayed at this house but it definitely won't be the last. The property was central to everything. The only downfall was parking at the front of the property but if you were very carefull you could park at the rear where there was secure parking. Outside space was also private. Looking forward to staying there again.
- Lynn, June 2024 -
Nicola “Very enjoyable stay - very clean everything we needed was in the property.”
Parking was not a problem for me as I have a small car.. The only problem is that the beds were very uncomfortable .
- Nicola, May 2024 -
Susan “A lovely clean place to stay with everything you need.”
The market opposite was good, as was the little Broadstone Cafe on the corner of Broadstone and Foss St. Only a short walk down the road to the River front and transport on Boats, Trains and Buses available The parking is okay if you have a mini or something of a very similar size as very tight and many attempts to get in and out with a larger car. I suggest parking on the street outside No7 if you can (we weren't able to as another car was permanently parked there). It doesn't mention anything about parking in the Market carpark which is free but to our Surprise got a parking ticket £70 or £35 if you pay within 28 day's. No mention that you need a parking permit. It would nice to be given an option of a parking permit to use in this carpark. Faults found on arrival. Bath panel was cracked Shower curtain needs to be renewed as very old and has evidence of mould spots. Basin plug chain broken. Blind slat in Front bedroom is broken it has been snapped. Otherwise a very pleasant place to stay and would stay here again.
- Susan, September 2023Hi Susan, Thank you for bringing the faults to our attention. We really appreciate you taking the time. We have sent a replacement shower curtain to the agents to replace on next day delivery. We are visiting ourselves next week, so will look into the other concerns. We did look into a parking permit for guests. Unfortunately it covers the Mayors Car Park, not the one in the Market Square. Also it is no guarantee of a space, especially in busy times. The Market Square car park is free and unlimited on days there isn’t a market on. On those days the CP needs to be clear between 6am & 9am for market traders to park. I’m sorry you were caught out by it, it is on the signs but not awfully clear. Hopefully future guests will read this and not get caught out. I’ll look into a note in the cottage suggesting guests check the parking sign. As you say, the on street parking in the Market Square is free and unlimited. Hopefully you will stay again. Kind regards, Sally Property Owner

Diane “The cottage itself is perfect.”
It's in an ideal spot for getting around Dartmouth and seeing the sights plus the place is fresh and clean. It really is a lovely home for your holiday but there is a negative!! Parking! If you read the details of the cottage it isn't until right at the end of lots of information where it mentions what size car is best !! However, there is no clear point of how narrow the road is behind the house to turn into the parking space , which it is. I drive a fiesta and the mirrors just missed the sides. After carefully driving out of the space for a day out, I was fortunate to park in the front of the house and left it there! This point really needs to be made much clearer in the information.
- Diane, August 2023 -
Paul “7 Charles Street is a delightful 2 bed cottage in Dartmouth on Market Square, just about as central as you could get in Dartmouth.”
It has all the facilities you need to enjoy a great stay in Dartmouth and is ideal for a couple or small family. It's the third time I've stayed there and I'm pretty fussy so it must be good! Happy to recommend.
- Paul, June 2023 -
Patricia “We love 7 Charles Street, this is our 6th or 7th visit.”
A couple of things which may prevent us booking the property again and none of these are the property fault, I have had a hip replacement within the last 5 months and found the bed to hard to sleep on, we used the other quilt in the 2nd bedroom as a mattress topper to make it a little softer, I found it difficult this time to get in and out the bath for the shower so we will be looking for a walk in shower next. Like I said neither these two things are the property's fault, it was smart and ultra clean and a perfect location as always. I would like to just say that we have been coming to Dartmouth for the last 14 years, but we would have to reconsider coming again next year because of the cost, we paid £30.40 for 2 fish and 1 portion of chips and a pot of curry sauce from rockfish! also 2 pints of beer from the George and Dragon £12.80!! with a lot of the shops closing down unless Dartmouth do something about the cost of food etc a lot of people we be finding another holiday venue unfortunately.
- Patricia, May 2023 -
Kate “We had a fab few days at 7 Charles Street.”
The cottage is in a great location, was very clean & had everything we needed. The beds in particular were very comfortable. I didn’t attempt to park in the space as my car is a little larger but found a space in the market square opposite or on surrounding streets. We loved Dartmouth & would stay here again if we return. Thank you!
- Kate, August 2022 -
Garry “7 Charles Street was a lovely little house right in the centre of town, and only 2 minutes walk from the harbour and quayside.”
The rear courtyard with a private parking space was fantastic as it meant we didn’t have to worry about parking throughout our stay. The only problem we had was the lock on the door jammed during our stay, I called Coast & Country who sent someone round to fix it straight away. Highly recommended.
- Garry, August 2022 -
Peter “One door key was replaced.”
Parking in the yard, not for fainthearted, drive in and reverse out - such that can drive forward to street, worked for Hyundai SE20
- Peter, October 2021 -
Karen “Lovely comfy cottage in an ideal location .”
Very well equipped.
- Karen, September 2021 -
Clifton “Cottage location was perfect to the harbour and shopping area and pub/restaurants”
- Clifton, August 2021 -
Anna “Excellent location.”
- Anna, July 2021 -
Jonathan “On arrival, objected to find the courtyard/car park was in need of cleaning; it clearly had not be swept in a long while.”
It came as a suprise to find that in fact the courtyard was a common space shared with the adjacent cottage. Don't recall seeing that mentioned in the cottage description. However, the interior of the cottage was very clean and decorated to a high standard.
- Jonathan, June 2021 -
John “Great location and the parking is a bonus in a Town like Dartmouth Gas Boiler ...”
Great location and the parking is a bonus in a Town like Dartmouth Gas Boiler not working correctly looks like it needs repressurising The back yard covered in debris which kept finding its way into the property
- John, June 2021 -
Pauline “As the information warned, the available house parking was difficult, and we have a smallish car.”
Unfortunately parking problems come with the territory of popular holiday destinations. The house was ideally situated in the main part of town, near to shops, eating places and transport and we had a very pleasant week despite some chilly and some wet times.
- Pauline, May 2021 -
Gloria “In the center of Dartmouth, convenient for everything.”
Very comfortable and clean . Parking was fine, a small car is needed. It would be a tight squeeze when two cars are parked.. Thouoghly enjoyed our stay, lots to see and do. Would definitely recommend.
- Gloria, October 2020 -
Judith “It's a shame that the Dartmouth Marina Spa is not open now.”
Presumably a cost for this was built into the cost of the holiday. We haven't been offered any compensation. Also had to pay extra for the week in September. Our holiday was originally booked at the end of March but we were unable to go because of lockdown.
- Judith, September 2020 -
Shaun “All good except that we could not use the spa facilities as advertised as we were refused entry and were told that advertising the spa was a misrepresentation as they do not allow this?”
Other than that, cottage was very comfortable and as good as we expected it to be.
- Shaun, September 2020 -
Anne-marie “Fantastic holiday.”
Such a lovely cottage and so centrally placed that everywhere was a level walk to, almost a novelty in Dartmouth. Any concerns were dealt with very efficiently (We were missing a remote control and a new one arrived the next day.) Would highly recommended. Thank you.
- Anne-marie, August 2020 -
Clare “Lovely cottage and conveniently situated.”
Extremely tight car parking. We parked on the street after great difficulty getting out. We damaged the car paintwork in process. It should be made clear in the description of the cottage that parking is only suitable for small cars. The cottage next door was in use. There is certainly no room for two cars to be parked in the court yard to manoeuvre and get out.
- Clare, July 2020 -
Julie “We loved staying at this property, exactly as described, very well equipped and a great location,everything is right on the doorstep.”
The parking was a huge bonus and our medium size car was fine(Merc A Class LWB for reference), its a very narrow road to enter but a wide entrance to then turn into. No issues with the wifi. We look forward to visiting again.
- Julie, July 2020 -
Brian “The parking is extremely tight and really only suitable for a VERY small car.”
We have a Toyota Auris (which is not at all large) and preferred to park on the street. We could find no instruction books for the appliances
- Brian, September 2019 -
Michael “7 Charles is pretty much the most perfect location for a couple or small family break or holiday in Dartmouth.”
Right in the centre of town - everything within 10 minutes walk. Free private off road parking - I have a Citroen C4 and had no problem maneuvering in or out of the space. Lovely property with every comfort and facility to hand.
- Michael, September 2019 -
Robert “This was our 3rd stay at this property so in fairness there was little to surprise us.”
However we would like to confirm our comments to your staff and add one other small point. Firstly tho its worth saying that the property is very nice and very well located for the town. We mentioned to the staff that altho we knew that its impossible to get anything larger than, say, a mini along the rear passage and into the rear yard its disappointing that this is not made clear in the property details. We were fortunate this year in that we found, almost straight after arrival, a parking space right outside the front door and because we didn't use the ca=r at all till we left there was no problem in this respect. In previous years we have used the car a lot so that would have been a problem. A Mayor's car park pass would be good, even if a small charge was made for those who wanted to use it. We found the seating/table area at the back of the house really disappointing. It was scruffy, unattractive eg no trellis/flowers and untidy and would not encourage anyone to use it. That was a pity because in the nice weather it would be nice to have breakfast or evening drinks for example outside. As ever Cosat and Country staff were really nice and very efficiently had a small problem with the central heating quickly fixed
- Robert, June 2019 -
Sally “The cottage is very cosy with modern facilities.”
The location is superb due to being in the centre of Dartmouth, just a few minutes walk from the quayside, shops and restaurants. This was great for us because we travelled to the places we wanted to go to by ferry and steam train. The drawback for us was the parking space. This is at the back of the property via a narrow lane. We have a medium size car but still needed help to get in and out, though one of our helpers said he had seen people driving through in 4x4s....
- Sally, June 2019 -
Russell “The small chairs in the lounge very uncomfortable.”
- Russell, April 2019 -
Lisa “Great cottage in a brilliant location with the bonus of parking which is always useful in Dartmouth.”
We had a very comfortable stay, the cottage has everything you need, we made use of the Spa facilities when the weather wasn't that great too. The Coast & Country team are really helpful and extremely efficient when we had an issue with the wi-fi. Highly recommended, we'll be back.
- Lisa, March 2019 -

.. no 7 has some new additions to the property .. new lighting upstairs ,, new oven ,, new heating control which made the property warmer (the week we were there it was quite cold,) Last but not least a new small decked area outside the kitchen with new table and chairs ( although wasn’t able to make good use of them due to the cold weather!)

Miss Helen MacDermott “This would have been a five star but for the outside space which we did not think was usable in reality.”
Apart from the fact that seagulls are constantly circling and leaving their mark(!), the yard is pretty unattractive and not a pleasant space to sit. The cottage itself is lovely and very well equipped. Comfortable and in an excellent position for everything. We loved it and felt properly at home!
- Miss Helen MacDermott, Mar 2017Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback in respect of your recent stay. We were pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday, finding this accommodation both well equipped and comfortable. It was also good to read that you liked the central location, being so close to shopping, art galleries, restaurants and waterfront. Your valuable comments in respect of the shared outside area have been noted - thank you. Property Owner

Mrs J Chaplin “What a gem of a cottage ,perfect for a much needed weeks rest and relaxation.”
We have stayed here before but so look forward to coming here. The new owners keep adding small changes , including hand wash by the sink and basin .. not a major addition granted but great to wash hands as soon as you arrive. We cooked in a lot this time, courtesy of M&S dine in for 2 meals ecellent range of equipment supplied in the cottage Will be rebooking !

“Perfect location, extra bonus of parking.”
Great little house for us family of four, made our holiday extra brilliant! Only upset was not being able to recycle all possible household waste, only bottles and paper at local recycling point. Please arrange something to change this as it was heartbreaking to landfill potential recyclables all week.
- , Jul 2015Many thanks for your valuable feedback in respect of your recent stay at 7 Charles Street in Dartmouth. It is possible to collect keys at a time to suit you should you be arriving later than our normal office hours. We do have a late collection key safe available for this purpose and would be pleased to make provision for you, if required, during your next stay - just contact the office by telephone or email. Thank you for your comments regarding recycling. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry that this service is quite limited in central Dartmouth. There is a larger recycling facility at the Dartmouth park & ride, where it is possible to recycle cans, tins, textiles, newspapers, bottles etc. Thanks again for your review and we do hope to welcome you back to the Dartmouth area again.

“Everything was brilliant apart from the sitting area at the rear of the property.”
it needed attention.I had to sweep around before we were able to make use of it

“Cosy well equipped cottage in a central location.”
Parking at rear was a bonus. Only downside - no view - but compensated by proximity to Market Square.

“2nd stay in the house.”
Excellent base with everything you need. Only negative was that the pub opposite was very noisy with people leaving and making a racket shouting etc across the square late into the night!
- , Mar 2015Many thanks for your positive review in respect of your holiday at 7 Charles Street in Dartmouth. We were delighted to read how much you enjoyed staying at the property and are grateful to you for your feedback. We were sorry to read that there was some late night noise from the nearby pub clientele, as this is unusual for Dartmouth even in such a central location. We very much hope and expect that this was a ‘one-off’ and that it didn’t unduly detract from your otherwise enjoyable stay” Thank you very much for your continued loyalty and we look forward to welcoming you back to the South Hams again for the fifth time!

“Perfect little cottage with everything you need :)”
- , Nov 2014 -
“The house was in good clean order.”
A bulb was out above the bathroom wash basin which made the room seem a bit dark as no windows. The parking at the rear was very tricky to access as it was basically just alley way width. For the rental price that is being charged, we think the owners could provide a better TV service, as we only pay £55 per month ourselves for Sky multi room & movies.
- , Aug 2014 -
“Very comfortable & clean!”
- , Aug 2014 -
“The only limiting factor is one combined bathroom and toilet, but we knew that when we booked it.”
The central location was great and the courtyard parking was very convenient. Probably limited to a mid-sized car as very narrow access.

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.
Please note that the parking space is only suitable for a small/medium car. The space is accessed down a narrow side street.
