Guests say
Guests appreciate the property's excellent location in Dartmouth, with convenient on-site parking and proximity to local amenities. The property is generally found to be clean and comfortable, with a well-maintained appearance. However, some guests have noted that certain aspects of comfort and facilities could be improved, such as the quality of mattresses and the provision of kitchenware.
The property is frequently described as clean, with specific mentions of a well-maintained appearance and effective sanitation measures. However, a few reviews noted issues with grubbiness in certain areas, which slightly impacts the overall perception of cleanliness.
The location is consistently praised for being central, convenient, and close to shops, restaurants, and the River Dart. The availability of on-site parking is also highlighted as a significant benefit.
While the property is generally considered comfortable, there are recurring comments about the need for better mattresses and quieter sleeping conditions due to noise from wildlife. These factors suggest room for improvement in the comfort category.
Facilities are deemed adequate, but several reviews point out issues with plumbing, the need for more kitchenware, and the desire for updated bathroom amenities. Maintenance concerns, such as non-functioning appliances and the need for more cutlery and mugs, are also mentioned.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the property owners' consideration for guests' experiences.

Always a pleasure to spend time in Dartmouth even at the very end of the season. We were delighted with the apartment, always very well equipped and spotlessly clean. We knew that there would be scaffolding up and that there would be workmen on site, and were not bothered by this. However we were bothered by the fact that on one day, while we were in the process of bringing our shopping in and had not had chance to lock the front door, one of the workmen simply opened the door and walked straight in. He seemed to think it was perfectly ok, whereas it would be putting it mildly to say we were stunned. The only black spot in a wonderful holiday. What a shame. Hopefully the property owner and the letting company can pass on our dissatisfaction to the company employing the workmen.

It is always spotless and comfy. Our only criticism would be that the bedroom TV has never worked! We have been three times and never been able to watch it. It really is time it is replaced or removed ! Secondly the wardrobes are beginning to be full of storage leaving less room for visitorsâ use. A few more decent coat hangers would be quite nice too please. The sound bar under the lounge tv is also not working. I know these are things which donât matter too much with summer visitors but out of season visitors would like these things sorted! As said previously, we love the property and will be back when it will be interesting to see if our comments have been taken on board !!

The apartment is very well maintained and the kitchen is well stocked with lots of utensils, crockery and pans. The bedrooms are a good size and the lounge area is spacious. The only issue was the difficulty figuring out the washer/dryer because the details have worn off and we found the manual quite confusing to understand. I'd definitely recommend the property because it was walking distance to everything you need in Dartmouth and just what we needed.
