“Amazing views but could do with a little up dating”

- Mrs Mahaffey, May 2021
Mr Bentley September 2020

“Cottage is in a brilliant location, with stunning views.”

The cottage was clean but it is starting to show a few signs of tiredness. Disappointed that the toilet on the kitchen level was Out of Order for the whole week, necessitating a long trip down the stairs to the bedrooms for the toilet. The kitchen is lacking a freezer or freezer compartment. Even a small table top freezer would suffice. I'm sure most people renting the property would want to sit on the terraces with a nice cool drink taking in the views. Also the bathrooms would both be much more functional with a shower that could be fixed to the wall and a shower screen, or a separate shower.

- Mr Bentley, September 2020

We are very pleased to hear that you found the location of Bell Cottage brilliant and the views “stunning” we most certainly agree. We are sorry that you were inconvenienced by the kitchen level toilet not being in use, this is not advertised as being available on the website. The owner has now provided a table top freezer at the property, so as you say guests can enjoy a nice cold drink on the terrace any enjoy those views. We do hope we can welcome you back to Dartmouth again soon. Owner relations
Mr Giles September 2020

“Our second stay at this lovely character cottage with the most magnificent views over the river Dart.”

We have already booked this same cottage for next year!!

- Mr Giles, September 2020

We are so pleased that you feel Bell Cottage has "lovely character and magnificent views" and that this is your second stay. We look forward to welcoming you again for your holiday next year. Owner relations

“Bell cottage was well equipped, clean and fully lived up to expectations.”

We love Dartmouth and it would be extremely difficult to find any property with views better than this - completely mesmerising. Even the bathrooms came with fantastic views! The town itself has plenty of eateries and there are some fantastic walks right from the doorstep. If you don’t want to walk then parking might be an issue for you - but a pass for the main car park ( about 10 minutes walk away) is provided. Unfortunately we were called away early due to a family emergency but we definitely hope to return.

- Mrs Lovelace, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to send your lovely review. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday at Bell Cottage. The views are, “mesmerising” we most certainly agree. It is a shame you were called away early but we do look forward to you visiting again sometime soon. Owner relations
Mr Cook August 2020

“A beautiful house that is as deceiving as it is roomy.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and feel the fitter for doing so with each level being so needed to be seen and each view enjoyed multiple times throughout our day. One small benifit would be a freezer to this holiday let, but we managed OK without this as the shops were in easy walking distance. A parking space to the side of the property would be a real boon but as with the freezer this was not a problem and we found that as long as unloading/ loading was organised, the friendly townsfolk were more than accommodating. We look forward to the many memories that this house has afforded us. Mr J Cook.

- Mr Cook, August 2020

That is wonderful to hear, we are so glad you enjoyed your time at this Bell Cottage. The owner has now provided a table top freezer for the property. We do hope that we will be able to welcome you back to the area again sometime soon to make even more memories. Owner relations

“Really fantastic views from all rooms in this lovely cottage, which is split over 4 floors.”

Not to far a walk up a slight incline from the town centre. Both terraces get sun in the morning. No wifi however, and only a hand-held shower in the baths in both ensuites - a stand alone shower would be a great improvement. Very clean and adequate range of utensils and crockery. Hopefully will be back.

- , Aug 2018

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, we were delighted to hear that you enjoyed the really fantastic views from this property and enjoyed the sunny terraces. Your feedback in respect of the accommodation has been forwarded to the owners. WiFi will hopefully be installed next year and they will also look to reconfigure one of the bathrooms and depending on space, include a shower. We do hope to welcome you back in the future.

Mr Markham Oct 2017

“Wonderful property with views to die for.”

Quirky cottage set out on four levels so lots of stairs. Needs a little updating, ie only “over the bath” hand shower but warm and cosy.

- Mr Markham, Oct 2017

Your comments in respect of the presentation of the accommodation have been noted and we do hope you will choose to stay with us again. Owner relations

Mr ANDREW Birchall Oct 2016

“As previously mentioned, Bell Cottage is a great little house although perhaps in need of some decorative refreshment.”

In all respects however, it provides for a really comfortable & restful base for a week in The South Hams. We have stayed there four times now and will book again. This year, we invited some friends to join us for a few days and the house has plenty of room for four people.

“Fantastic location, great views, spacious.”

good equipment in kitchen. Would have liked a shower, sofas not that comfy, bizarrely porch and conservatory had no key, so coats etc left vulnerable. but top notch otherwise, would go again as views and location top notch.

“Clean and well equipped.”

The views were as stunning as promised. I was a little disappointed in the outside areas and lack of shrubs and flowers as there are plenty that are tolerant of hot and sunny conditions. Also the description of the property could have made clearer the number of stairs. My parents are in their 80s and did feel daunted about going to the loo from the lounge, it would be helpful to repair the ground floor WC! We did enjoy Bell Cottage but would not return with my parents.

“Very good facilities and perfect position.”

Only real problem was the sofas in the living room - not comfortable!

“We are not staying at Bell Cottage until early June.”

However, we have stayed there before about 5 years ago and found it to be excellent. It would seem from the photographs on the C & C website that it has been refurbished since our previous stay so I am sure it will be even better than before.

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 house is situated over 4 floors.

NOTE - No parking at the property - parking permit supplied (car park is approximately 15-20 minute walk from the apartment). Please note that the Mayors Avenue car park is closed for the Regatta Week and parking will be at the Dartmouth Park and Ride

With regret this property is not suitable for children under 5 years of age.
