“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bell Cottage.”

I haven’t been very well over these last 5 months and staying there was just the tonic I needed. The cottage was very clean and the decor was lovely with new carpets throughout. The only down side was there Is no shower which could be a problem for elderly guests. The views of the river dart are amazing! Think I spent most of my week sat on the window seat watching the car ferries going from one side of the river to the other. We will definitely be booking Bell Cottage in the future.

“Cottage was as described in your brochure.”

Very clean on arrival. No issues whilst on holiday. Just as it should be. Many thanks Paul.

“Bell Cottage was lovely, we have stayed there many times over recent years, the location is perfect for us comprising wonderful river views with a rewarding walk into town.”

We have always used Coast and Country when booking holiday property in the South West, their service has been great, even on the one occasion we needed their attention to a property during our stay. (Not Bell Cottage I hasten to say)
Mr Giles September 2019

“Bell Cottage is a very nice property in a great position with exceptional views of the estuary.”

The cottage is very comfortable and has had some recent upgrades which enhances it, The only thing missing is a proper shower other than the end of bath style tap/shower. Would suggest that the owners consider carefully removing part of the wooden dado rail around the tap end of the bath and say one metre along the back wall, and then replace with a ceramic dado rail. Then fit a hinged shower screen and tile from the ceiling down to the bath level at the tap end of the bath and the one metre along the back wall. Fit a clip to hold the shower head on the wall and this would result in a waterproof area for showering. Due to a medical condition my wife is unable to sit in a bath so has to have a shower - we did manage as I held the flexible shower head whilst my wife managed to crouch but it was difficult not to get too much water up the walls or on the floor carpet. We would like to come back here next year!

“Only points would be.”

. hot water was very hot, scolding. Master bedroom door frame was quite low.. kept hitting my head.. conservatory was a bit disappointing compared to the rest of the house and the number of stairs would not be for everybody. Otherwise lovely views and everything else you would want from a holiday cottage.

Thank you for your feedback after your recent stay at Bell Cottage. we are happy to hear that you enjoyed the views from the property. Thank you for letting us know about water temperature have now lowered this for future bookings. Owner relations

“The place looked and turned out to be extremely nice.”

But what blew me away was the view. Absolutely fantastic stay.
Mrs Gilbert June 2019

“We love the cottage.”

It is well equipped and comfortable. Great that it now has wifi too. The addition of a shower curtain in the bathrooms would be welcome, as I find it very hard to sit down in a bath, and it is difficult to shower without worrying if the water will go everywhere. We will definitely want to come back. Thank you

“Dishwasher was leaking and front door lock didn’t lock properly ( informed office on departure).”

Kitchen could do with a small freezer ( for ice or ice cream. The property has Beautiful views and in general a fabulous position for Dartmouth harbour and is well set out with lounge and dining/ kitchen looking great. The bedrooms and bathrooms are a little old fashioned now and definitely need updating. ( need proper showers and no carpet wood panels in bathroom) mattresses and pillows again could do with being a better quality . All in all we loved our stay and would definitely use again
Dr Fletcher February 2019

“We had a wonderful holiday at Bell Cottage.”

There were spectacular views from every room.
Mrs Phillips December 2018

“Bell Cottage, warm, cozy, great views, quirky.”

Everything we needed for a much needed Christmas break. We have visited Dartmouth many times and in many types of accommodation. We will definitely visit Bell Cottage again
“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.

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.

“Wonderful property with views to die for.”

“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.

Many thanks for your positive review in respect of your recent holiday at Bell Cottage in Dartmouth. We are very grateful to you for your kind feedback regarding the property and have passed your comments in respect of the sofas etc to the owners for their information.

“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
