“Constructive observations: Steps to the property are uneven and awkward for small children and anyone with mobility issues.”

...

Not easy to access the garage due to scaffolding around property above obstructing the pathway (temporary closure notice posted on scaffold). Evidence of recent external building works resulted in us sweeping the lower garden to save walking a considerable amount of grit and dirt back inside the house (we didn’t use the upper garden). Not a major issue but at this price point I wouldn’t have expected to be having to do this. Concrete blocks left near front door (possibly leftover from scaffold) are a trip hazard and need removing. Rainwater down pipes need installing as without them there’s a bit of noise when raining due to splashing of water on to the paths. Privacy blind required in the en-suite. We couldn’t find a mat for the bath or shower; which would have been appreciated. Positive points: Incredible location. Beautiful property. Garage parking (we didn’t use our car once during our stay). We’d definitely stay here again!

“Very nice property and ideal for a New Years break with the family.”

Amazing location and an amazing view from the living room across the harbour / estuary. Yes there are steps to the property but that is explained well in the property description but there is a garage and nearby parking so no issues.

“Beautiful cottage with stunning views .”

Had an amazing holiday mainly because of how perfect the property was. Had everything we needed , well equipped, warm, comfortable , great location. There were 6 adults for three days of the break and it still felt spacious . Would definitely return and recommend to others.

“As we looked around we found the property hasn’t been cleaned that good.”

In the bathroom there was black mould around the top of the bath which we bleached and cleaned it. In the kitchen we opened the oven door and found the inside of the door all greasy which we cleaned before using. Also someone has loaded dirty plates in the dishwasher and found it not working and must of unloaded it and where food came off the plates it was all inside the door and in the bottom, so I had a look and found the water had been switched off after that it worked. In the en-suite the door had to be lifted to shut it as it was dragging on the floor, so we looked at the toilet and found it hasn’t been cleaned we lifted the lid to find hair and wee stains on the toilet

“We absolutely love this property and have stayed here at least 8 times.”

It needs a little tlc in places but I’d still like to stay here again.

“Yes, although the cottage did have stunning views and was very comfortable, it does have issues that need to be made more clear; steps - it’s not the number that’s an issue it’s the steepness and unevenness of them, also that fact that the cottage is half up a very narrow passageway so you need carry luggage either up or down the entrance.”

Secondly ; the outside spaces aren’t secure and the main one is slightly detached from the cottage up steep steps. Thirdly; the parking ; it’s not just that the garage is small but it’s the access to it is up extremely narrow and twisting roads that are very difficult to navigate unless you have a fairly small car. However the biggest issue was the lack of cleanliness upon our arrival- the kitchen and living areas were not clean at all; greasy fingers prints all over the windows, coffee table filthy , information book dirty , kitchen surfaces not wiped clean and food debris in sink/drainer. We spent well over an hour cleaning everything with antibacterial spray, very disappointing in current circumstances and after waiting until 5 to get into the cottage. On a positive Sykes did respond quickly when contacted about the cleaning which was good.

“This is a wonderful cottage and it's the second time we've stayed there.”

The access would be difficult for anyone who can't climb 42 steps with luggage, but we're OK with that and the bonus is getting a bit fitter. The only real issue I had was with broadband, which kept dropping out in true BT style. I was trying to work some of the time and this made it very difficult and frustrating. Oh, and someone had taken the batteries out of most of the remote controls! Other than that, the best views in Dartmouth and a great base for the week. I'd really recommend this property and Coast and Country are a pleasure to deal with.

“Cottage was gorgeous and well-appointed.”

There were heated floors in the bathroom and views to die for from the living room. Very comfortable and no neighbors on either side so nice and quiet. It was fabulous. They are not joking about the stairs though!! The cottage sits right in the middle of a steep staircase, so there are narrow, streets climbs to access the property. Just be warned if you have mobility restrictions. Also, roads are very narrow, so large vehicles will struggle to park.

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 there are 43 steps down from the garage in Above Town to the property. Access from Newcomen Road is up 43 steps. Steps are steep in places and uneven.

The garage is not suitable for 4x4 or large car.

Above town is a narrow road that runs 'above' and parellel to the River Dart. Access to Above Town is via a steep road.

Please note the property accepts two well behaved dogs.

Please bring a torch if arriving at night.
