Guests say

Galvayne in Dartmouth is highly praised for its stunning views, comfortable furnishings, and excellent location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, cleanliness, and the added bonus of parking spaces. While some mention construction noise and minor maintenance issues, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Reviews consistently mention that the property is clean and well-presented upon arrival, with commendations to the cleaners for maintaining high standards.

The property's location is celebrated for its spectacular views and proximity to Dartmouth town. Some concerns about the access road and construction noise are noted, but the location remains a highlight for guests.

Guests find the property to be very comfortable, with special mentions of the quality of the furnishings and the thoughtful welcome pack. The comfort is slightly marred by reports of a cold house on arrival and steep stairs.

The facilities are generally regarded as top-notch, with a well-stocked kitchen and modern amenities. However, there are comments about issues with Wi-Fi, parking challenges for larger vehicles, and a lack of instructions for some equipment.

The welcome pack and bottle of wine are appreciated gestures, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not consistently mentioned across reviews, it is politely noted that such offerings are not guaranteed.

About this property

Set over three beautiful floors built into the hillside of Dartmouth is this spectacular holiday home, Galvayne. Offering four guests a top-quality holiday home from which to enjoy all the delights of South Devon, Galvayne features beautiful views of the River Dart and Kingswear from stunning balconies and beautiful living areas and bedrooms, perfect for two couples. Enjoy having two sought-after parking spaces on arrival before heading down the external steps to be welcomed into the entrance on the first floor, finding a handy utility room with all the laundry facilities here and the first bedroom. Discover a roomy super-king-size bed, TV, Sonos speaker and a glorious standing balcony behind double doors, offering amazing scenery when you wake up, along with an en-suite bathroom too. Head down the stairs to find a cloakroom before moving through to the open-plan living space, with a larger balcony with seating behind the large sliding doors, a vibrant blue sofa before the Smart TV with more stylish seating, a dining area, and finally a sleek, modern kitchen equipped with quality appliances and fitted with a breakfast bar. Make your way downstairs again to the lower-ground floor to come upon the second bedroom, an exquisite spot home to a super-king-size bed and an en-suite shower room with a rainfall shower, with bi-fold doors opening out to the spacious decked terrace overlooking the serene waters; watch the boats bobbing with a delicious breakfast at the outdoor furniture before you day begins. The property is just a short walk to the centre of Dartmouth so you can easily leave the car parked up while you spend time exploring the town, with plenty of well-established restaurants and excellent pubs to dine and drink in, as well as local and independent shops to browse for the perfect souvenir. Take a walk around town stopping at all of Dartmouth's local landmarks, including Dartmouth Harbour, Dartmouth Museum, Bayard's Cove Fort and Dartmouth Castle, the latter sitting at the mouth of the River Dart standing watch over the town. Visit Dartmouth Castle's counterpart, Kingswear Castle by taking a passenger ferry to the other side of the river, walking along the South West Coast Path to take in the gorgeous views of Dartmouth and then further east past Brownstone Battery, extending the walk further up to the National Trust's Coleton Fishacre House and Gardens if you're feeling energetic. Back on Dartmouth's side of the river, hop in the car and drive down to Blackpool Sands for a glorious day on this Blue Flag award-winning beach, with a host of watersports to enjoy here too. For a memorable and luxury getaway to South Devon, choose Galvayne.
