Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, 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 popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. 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 the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham.

With the central location and safe underground parking added to the convenient lift direct from the basement to the 2nd floor this apartment was truly superb. I can honestly say that myself, my wife and our lovable dog Ludo will be looking forward to booking again in the very near future.

Close to ferry pubs and restaurants. Lovely to walk around and use as a base. The apartment is a good size for 4 people although there is an issue with the bathe it having a over bath shower only a hand held one! I think this would be number one on the improvement list as the only shower is in the en suite whichis not convenient at all. Lovely big bath sheets provided. Hairdryer provided but no washing up liquid or kitchen cleaner provided. Would be good if a list of things not provided could be on the booking site. Also black bin bags and recycling facilities should be provided as everything had to be put into one bag for disposal. Bedrooms are a good size and bedding clean and beds comfortable. Rug in living room needs a good scrub living area is a good size and kitchen facility was good for what we needed. We would book again as the position of the apartment is good even though there was a fair going on in the car park opposite but the apartment owner can't be responsible for that and it was only two nights left when we arrived.

* Overall stay was good with all necessities and amenities catered for. * Great central location and good sized underground allocated parking space (bonus especially in a heatwave and having a guaranteed parking space in a central location). * However, an SUV would find it difficult/ very tight entering Kings Quay at the entrance due to two cars parked at the entrance of the road. Judging by the state of the scuffs down the side of the parked cars, it seems like larger vehicles have struggled to get past. * A few improvements recommended as follows (but it wouldnât prevent us staying again): * General interior update as looking dated. * Over bath standing shower would be a welcome addition in the main bathroom. * Mattress in one of the single beds (left) needs replacing as springs are felt through the mattress. * Main duvet needs replacing due to stains from previous users. * Washing machine/ dryer and dishwasher runs loud whilst on. Replacement with more modern appliances would eliminate this. * Perhaps having a hairdryer available for those who donât bring their own. * Instructions for location of outdoor bin and key code would be helpful as this was not detailed in the welcome pack. I had to contact Coast & Country for this information. * Only downside was the squawking of the seagulls day and night, due to where they congregate. The windows of the flat offer no soundproofing when closed.
