“Aeolus house is well situated in Dartmouth and the view from the top floor is wonderful and really makes up for the lack of facilities, old and tired furnishings and kitchen equipment, stained carpets and marked walls!”
A clothes airer that collapses when full of clothes, no room in the kitchen cupboards for food as they're full of unnecessary items. The house was tidy but not clean! Dirty pans in the cupboard, food crumbs inside the fridge and stuck to the side. The stairs are quite narrow and steep, something to consider when booking as it's over 4 floors, It became very tiresome to prepare for the day! The top floor bedroom with the king size bed was lovely, although the ceiling slopes away and makes it difficult to get in and out of the bed without twisting your back! The view from the landing at the top is absolutely spectacular, most evenings spent with a cup of tea watching the ferry going back and forth, great viewpoint of Dartmouth! Take ear plugs the seagulls are really really loud from very early on. We were lucky with great weather and made the most of the local areas, Paignton via steam train a must, paddle board off Strete beach lots of fun, Totnes a lovely town with amazing pasties and boat hire on the river Dart. If you love seafood especially fish and chips..... Rockfish is well worth booking a table, absolutely delicious, very well catered for kids too with a wonderful pack of goodies and lovely friendly staff! The Dartmouth arms is good for a pint in a plastic cup that you can take out to sit by the river but don't waste your money on the food it was grim and expensive! There is a lovely large play area at coronation park for kids, tennis court, playing field and a fab cafe. We had a wonderful time in Dartmouth and will definitely return but not to this property!
We are very sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the decoration and the furniture in our property. The entire house was recorated at a cost of several thousand pounds in 2021, and the carpets replaced in 2020 so I am somewhat surprised at your comments. We have been unable to see the property ourselves this summer because of the volume of bookings. The furniture is almost all vintage so I apologise if this appeared tired to you. With regards to your comments regarding the cleaning, I will refer this to Coast and Country for their response, as they are responsible for cleaning between guests. Our regular cleaners have been very assiduous when we have visited our house.
