“On arrival, objected to find the courtyard/car park was in need of cleaning; it clearly had not be swept in a long while.”

It came as a suprise to find that in fact the courtyard was a common space shared with the adjacent cottage. Don't recall seeing that mentioned in the cottage description. However, the interior of the cottage was very clean and decorated to a high standard.

“Great location and the parking is a bonus in a Town like Dartmouth ...”

Great location and the parking is a bonus in a Town like Dartmouth Gas Boiler not working correctly looks like it needs repressurising The back yard covered in debris which kept finding its way into the property

Mrs Brookes May 2021

“As the information warned, the available house parking was difficult, and we have a smallish car.”

Unfortunately parking problems come with the territory of popular holiday destinations. The house was ideally situated in the main part of town, near to shops, eating places and transport and we had a very pleasant week despite some chilly and some wet times.

- Mrs Brookes, May 2021
Mrs Jones October 2020

“In the center of Dartmouth, convenient for everything.”

Very comfortable and clean . Parking was fine, a small car is needed. It would be a tight squeeze when two cars are parked.. Thouoghly enjoyed our stay, lots to see and do. Would definitely recommend.

- Mrs Jones, October 2020
Mrs Hansford September 2020

“It's a shame that the Dartmouth Marina Spa is not open now.”

Presumably a cost for this was built into the cost of the holiday. We haven't been offered any compensation. Also had to pay extra for the week in September. Our holiday was originally booked at the end of March but we were unable to go because of lockdown.

- Mrs Hansford, September 2020
Mr Dainty September 2020

“All good except that we could not use the spa facilities as advertised as we were refused entry and were told that advertising the spa was a misrepresentation as they do not allow this?”

Other than that, cottage was very comfortable and as good as we expected it to be.

- Mr Dainty, September 2020
Mrs Smith August 2020

“Fantastic holiday.”

Such a lovely cottage and so centrally placed that everywhere was a level walk to, almost a novelty in Dartmouth. Any concerns were dealt with very efficiently (We were missing a remote control and a new one arrived the next day.) Would highly recommended. Thank you.

- Mrs Smith, August 2020
Mrs Wood July 2020

“We loved staying at this property, exactly as described, very well equipped and a great location,everything is right on the doorstep.”

The parking was a huge bonus and our medium size car was fine(Merc A Class LWB for reference), its a very narrow road to enter but a wide entrance to then turn into. No issues with the wifi. We look forward to visiting again.

- Mrs Wood, July 2020
Mrs Ratcliffe July 2020

“Lovely cottage and conveniently situated.”

Extremely tight car parking. We parked on the street after great difficulty getting out. We damaged the car paintwork in process. It should be made clear in the description of the cottage that parking is only suitable for small cars. The cottage next door was in use. There is certainly no room for two cars to be parked in the court yard to manoeuvre and get out.

- Mrs Ratcliffe, July 2020
Rev Tims September 2019

“The parking is extremely tight and really only suitable for a VERY small car.”

We have a Toyota Auris (which is not at all large) and preferred to park on the street. We could find no instruction books for the appliances

- Rev Tims, September 2019
Mr Prudence September 2019

“7 Charles is pretty much the most perfect location for a couple or small family break or holiday in Dartmouth.”

Right in the centre of town - everything within 10 minutes walk. Free private off road parking - I have a Citroen C4 and had no problem maneuvering in or out of the space. Lovely property with every comfort and facility to hand.

- Mr Prudence, September 2019
Mrs Hankin June 2019

“The cottage is very cosy with modern facilities.”

The location is superb due to being in the centre of Dartmouth, just a few minutes walk from the quayside, shops and restaurants. This was great for us because we travelled to the places we wanted to go to by ferry and steam train. The drawback for us was the parking space. This is at the back of the property via a narrow lane. We have a medium size car but still needed help to get in and out, though one of our helpers said he had seen people driving through in 4x4s....

- Mrs Hankin, June 2019
Mr Ewings June 2019

“This was our 3rd stay at this property so in fairness there was little to surprise us.”

However we would like to confirm our comments to your staff and add one other small point. Firstly tho its worth saying that the property is very nice and very well located for the town. We mentioned to the staff that altho we knew that its impossible to get anything larger than, say, a mini along the rear passage and into the rear yard its disappointing that this is not made clear in the property details. We were fortunate this year in that we found, almost straight after arrival, a parking space right outside the front door and because we didn't use the ca=r at all till we left there was no problem in this respect. In previous years we have used the car a lot so that would have been a problem. A Mayor's car park pass would be good, even if a small charge was made for those who wanted to use it. We found the seating/table area at the back of the house really disappointing. It was scruffy, unattractive eg no trellis/flowers and untidy and would not encourage anyone to use it. That was a pity because in the nice weather it would be nice to have breakfast or evening drinks for example outside. As ever Cosat and Country staff were really nice and very efficiently had a small problem with the central heating quickly fixed

“The small chairs in the lounge very uncomfortable.”

Miss Smith March 2019

“Great cottage in a brilliant location with the bonus of parking which is always useful in Dartmouth.”

We had a very comfortable stay, the cottage has everything you need, we made use of the Spa facilities when the weather wasn't that great too. The Coast & Country team are really helpful and extremely efficient when we had an issue with the wi-fi. Highly recommended, we'll be back.

.. no 7 has some new additions to the property .. new lighting upstairs ,, new oven ,, new heating control which made the property warmer (the week we were there it was quite cold,) Last but not least a new small decked area outside the kitchen with new table and chairs ( although wasn’t able to make good use of them due to the cold weather!)

Miss Helen MacDermott Mar 2017

“This would have been a five star but for the outside space which we did not think was usable in reality.”

Apart from the fact that seagulls are constantly circling and leaving their mark(!), the yard is pretty unattractive and not a pleasant space to sit. The cottage itself is lovely and very well equipped. Comfortable and in an excellent position for everything. We loved it and felt properly at home!

- Miss Helen MacDermott, Mar 2017

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback in respect of your recent stay. We were pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday, finding this accommodation both well equipped and comfortable.

“What a gem of a cottage ,perfect for a much needed weeks rest and relaxation.”

“Perfect location, extra bonus of parking.”

Great little house for us family of four, made our holiday extra brilliant! Only upset was not being able to recycle all possible household waste, only bottles and paper at local recycling point. Please arrange something to change this as it was heartbreaking to landfill potential recyclables all week.

“The house was in good clean order.”

A bulb was out above the bathroom wash basin which made the room seem a bit dark as no windows. The parking at the rear was very tricky to access as it was basically just alley way width. For the rental price that is being charged, we think the owners could provide a better TV service, as we only pay £55 per month ourselves for Sky multi room & movies.

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.

Please note that the parking space is only suitable for a small/medium car. The space is accessed down a narrow side street.
