“Had a fabulous week in Dartmouth, the weather couldn’t have been better.”

No 11 Ridge Hill was exceptional, everything we needed and so convenient for the town. There is a short steep walk to the apartment and no on site parking. We travelled to Dartmouth by train and so parking wasn’t an issue for us. We were fortunate enough to have a guided tour of the Britannia Royal Naval College, amazing. Our tour guide Mike was excellent, if you get a chance to go, do , you won’t be disappointed. We also recommend Sykes Cottages.

“We have become regular visitors to Dartmouth, and when we stay have used Sykes Cottages for our accommodation and 11 Ridge Hill was lovely.”

It was clean, bright and cozy with river views from the bedroom. Set on one floor (ground) it had two large bedrooms, one with ensuite. It is within a larger, old building with some original window shutters and thick walls. A small rear yard was available but we visited in the winter. On a steep hill so worth considering if you have any physical limitations as there is no parking or permits with this property, which would've made the stay a 5 for us. Would definitely stay again, thank you

“The best place we have stayed in absolutely beautiful views of the harbour”

“We thought 11 Ridge Hill was a great place to stay.”

Older or less physically able folk should be aware that it’s on a steep hill, not too bad for walking but loading and unloading a car is not easy on the hill as you effectively block the road. However for us it was a great space, well appointed and kitted out. Lovely to base from and lovely to be in! Definitely recommend a will happily return.

“Outstanding property in a super perfect location.”

It had everything we needed. And lovely touches. Welcome pack was great. Gorgeous comfy beds. Loved the small outside space. Had to give all the outside furniture a clean first though and a bit of a tidy up . But I expect it’s hard to maintain. Would come back in a heartbeat. Our favourite place to stay now in Dartmouth. Didn’t want to leave. Thank you

“We had a lovely short break at Ridge Hill.”

The apartment is in an ideal position close to the shops and esplanade. It is spacious and clean with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The courtyard garden is a little sun trap, lovely for enjoying a morning coffee. As others have mentioned, parking is an issue in Dartmouth but we managed to find a space every day at the top of the hill.

“Dear Team We thought that the property was in an ideal location and has been beautifully converted.”

The bathrooms were particularly well done. The property was all very clean although a few dog hairs on sofas from previous occupants. The only negative was damp in the second bedroom. It was prevalent by the window with mould spots and smelt musty. Always hard to eradicate in an old property though. Overall an excellent property.

“Lovely & spacious cottage in great location.”

Need provide more cutlery & main bathroom the Shower water went cold too quickly. Also should provide a car parking permit

- Stephen, September 2023
Laura September 2023

“Beds uncomfortable.”

Better quality mattress and pillows needed. Curtains and carpets are rotten. Description shows a view of the marina from the garden which is incorrect. Parking cost is horrendous at nearly 25 pounds a day. Parking permit would help or at least a heads up on this cost. Would have been nice to have been informed that if you use RingGo app you don’t have to move your car. Welcome pack shows total lack of any form of welcoming. Personally it’s not worth bothering with.

“Toilet main bathroom Toilet seat cracked and broken Tired bathrooms-both Showers leak -both Miscellaneous pubic hairs on the toilet seat and side of bath and on the towels provided, eew yak!”

Rain shower in main bathroom needs descaling as water drips out ! Clock living room and hallway not working-unimportant really Garden Furniture not cleaned Table covered in poop Unswept and untidy Oven Unclean! Disgraceful! Kitchen cupboards all need a scrub as dirty and ‘bits’ floating about Floor in apartment filthy - needs a good mop - probably a few times! Carpets are beyond disgusting!! Need replacement! Beds made up extremely poorly Saying that, crap bedding duvets, duvet covers and pillows all need replacement! But beds comfy All in all, very tired Stayed with coast and country 5 times and always been excellent Sadly this time seriously disappointed and makes me wonder if I’d pick coast country again? Atm I’d say no!! This apartment is not suitable for anyone that is unfit as hilly (extremely hilly) by that we mean, a very steep climb up and down into Dartmouth And no parking (but we knew that) Also to note steps up to both bathrooms!! Have a good think before you book this property, I wouldn’t have wasted our money had I known or read any recent reviews (of which there were very few) Gutted we booked this place and want to go home and that’s day one What could be a lush apartment only needs a lil bit of money spent on it! Mad really

Marina June 2023

“Fabulous cottage, great facilities, lovely little garden, a real sun trap.”

The hill was a bit steeper than I realised, which my elderly father struggled with but managed. Very convenient for the centre of Dartmouth. Excellent holiday, would highly recommend.

“Car parking was a major issue.”

Sofas extremely uncomfortable. No grab rails in shower

Joanne September 2022

“Beautifully styled property with everything you could possibly need from books to candles and matches to make our stay cosy and comfortable.”

Besides the problem with the hot water (due to the boiler repairs undertaken the day before we arrived) everything was super. A well equipped kitchen made cooking a pleasure

- Joanne, September 2022
Gerald September 2022

“Kitchen poorly equipped.”

Not enough utensils to cook a meal, lack of storage for biscuits, cakes etc. Ensuite shower too small, and nowhere to put anything when you are showering. Main bathroom did not have any storage shelves, or cupboard.

“This property was perfect for our stay we loved it spotlessly clean throughout ...”

This property was perfect for our stay we loved it spotlessly clean throughout had everything we needed we have been coming to Dartmouth for ever as my family were born here this is one of the best places we’ve stayed in other than our family home would stay here again

- Gillian, August 2022
Chris August 2022

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

This is the 3rd time at 11 Ridge Hill. The only negative I can think of is, the tap water was not good for drinking. Welcome bottled water would have been good.

- Chris, August 2022
J May 2022

“The property was delightful,very light,comfortable and tastefully decorated.”

It provided everything necessary for a perfect stay. The location was excellent,very close to all the amenities in Dartmouth. I would definitely stay again.

“Beautiful apartment in a fabulous central location, couldn’t ask for anything more!”

Fiona October 2021

“Beautifully equipped and comfortable accommodation with coastal furnishings and decor.”

Only let down by being dusty and dirty in places and quite damp in one of the bedrooms - this could be smelt and seen, however this did not spoil the holiday. The only thing which spoilt it a little was the lack of heating and hot water on 2 days but this was addressed (although not fixed) swiftly and the accommodation owners offered a refund of 2 nights accommodation which was acceptable. This was a lovely place, ideally located with great facilities and everything required for a self catering accommodation. The key collection and return was also swift and easy.

- Fiona, October 2021
C September 2021

“The flat is very comfortable and beautifully furnished - close to everything.”

The television is placed too high - which makes uncomfortable viewing. Would be useful to have hooks on the back of the bathroom doors. Parking is a nightmare - a parking permit would have helped enormously! BUT - we had a lovely stay and would be very happy to return to the same property.

- C, September 2021
Janet August 2021

“Cleanliness in the apartment was very good, only let down by the patio garden had not been cleaned.”

Parking is a nightmare in Dartmouth, but we did manage to find a parking place up the top of Ridge Hill. The main problem for us is that we arrived on Dartmouth’s regatta weekend and the directions for collecting the keys was not applicable as the main town centre was closed off to traffic. We had to park in the Park & Ride, catch the bus in to town and then find the office to collect keys at 3pm. Could not find any car parking facilities until after six pm to unload car. Other than that we had a very enjoyable week, with everything right on the doorstep.

Timothy July 2021

“Had a great week in Dartmouth staying at 11 Ridge Hill, accommodation was exactly as described and comfortable for a family of 4 staying for a week.”

The location is fab and only 2 mins walk into the center, I was initially concerned that parking would be a major headache (other properties provide a pass for the main carpark) however I was able to park for free from 6pm>3pm around the park directly outside (College way / Combe road) so it was workable. A bit frustrated that the beds had not been split into singles prior to our arrival, I had spent over 1 hour to get through on the telephone to the head office and specially request this as there was no facility to enter this request when booking on the app and no email address to contact (why?). We really enjoyed using the BBQ in the garden (very good) but shame it is missing BBQ tongs and utensils....also no washing line or clothes horse which is better for the environment and saves the electricity from the washer/drier. Otherwise all good and would recommend same place to friends.

- Timothy, July 2021
Jo June 2021

“Fabulous cottage equipped to the highest standard in a great location.”

Exactly as published and more. Check in was easy, spent a week enjoying Dartmouth and surrounding areas and would definitely recommend.

- Jo, June 2021
Nigel June 2021

“Beautiful apartment very well appointed.”

The only problem was access up the v steep hill. I would not recommend the property to older and/or less fit visitors. Parking is not ideal but we sorted it either on the street or using the Park and Ride.

- Nigel, June 2021
Andrew June 2021

“Lovely apartment apart from the description and photo of the rear courtyard shows a view off the river dart .”

When stood in the courtyard there is no view off the river

“We had a great holiday and the accommodation was very good indeed, would love to return at some point.”

Dartmouth and area is beautiful and we enjoyed lots of walking. Fortunately the weather was kind. Will book again soon,depending upon virus situation.

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.

The en suite master bedroom has a super-king size bed that can be split to create two singles - this must be requested when booking.
There is no parking permit provided with this property.
