One minor gripe is that the kitchen has too much of some things (you could chart the history of plates from 1950-2020) and not enough of others (chopping boards, tea towels, salad spinner, large serving dish for 6, knives that cut somethingâ¦). The abundance of crockery meant there wasnât much cupboard space and we would have struggled to find space for food if weâd shopped for more than a couple of days at once. The corner sofa in the living room was very comfortable though it was tight for 6 adults when we all watched (the rather small) TV. Sky tv was available but the dvd player didnât work which was a bit disappointing. The 2 showers were great but access into the main bathroom was impeded by a large sink table which resulted in a few stubbed toes! Itâs worth noting that unloading isnât as tricky as most Dartmouth properties as there is room for a car to park outside the house without it getting in the way of other cars. Others have mentioned the garage so just to add that its dimensions may not allow for the sprung hinges for the door which reduce the clearance at the exact position of the folded wing mirrors were by a further 2 inches either side! Overall however it was a comfortable, rather tired looking but therefore quite relaxing house, in a great location, not exactly spotless but clean enough and weâd happily go back and stay there again.

Generally it is very comfortable but in the upper front bedroom the mattress was found to be too firm . Though of course this may suit someone else. The provision of a garage for parking made it possible for us to stay at this property. The views from back windows & balconies are stunning.
