“House was cold even with heating.”

“Location was good, short work into town.”

The hill wasn’t too steep. Sofa was not very comfortable, kitchen was ok. Decking was a nice touch, but be aware that it’s on the first floor level. It’s great that they allow dogs but really it’s not that suitable. Only hard landscaping on front for dog. Hoover was very smelly!

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for us in relation to your recent stay at Crew House in Dartmouth. We’re grateful for your suggestions which have been passed onto the property’s owner for their consideration. In addition to the area at the front there is also a back courtyard which is enclosed and suitable for dogs. We hope you were able to enjoy your recent break in Devon and we hope you choose to book again with Coast & Country Cottages soon. Owner relations

“We have had a very enjoyable break.”

The house is great and in a good location. We love Dartmouth!
“Fully equipped clean house.”

Close to town and bus stop opposite.Little awkward for elderly clients due to steps and bath difficult to access.

Many thanks for your valuable feedback in respect of Crew House in Dartmouth. We do hope that you had an enjoyable stay and look forward to seeing you again soon. Owner relations

“A nice little terraced house, well appointed, clean and tidy.”

Although advertised as dog friendly, with no garden and a fair walk to the nearest open space it can be difficult especially when the weather is bad. No parking

Thank you for your review of Crew House in Dartmouth. It was pleasing to hear that you enjoyed your stay at this well appointed property. We were also grateful for your feedback relating to the suitability of the outside space for pets. The owners would like us to mention that, as well as the south facing decked terrace area, there is also a small enclosed courtyard to the rear of the property which is completely secure for a pet. As far as the parking is concerned, this property does offer an annual six monthly parking permit (valid March to September) for tenant's use. Thanks again for taking the time to leave your feedback - we do hope you choose to stay with us again.

“The house was on a steep hill and not suitable for children or the elderly, which Coast and Country should state on their website.”

The house was a nice size, plenty of cupboard space. On arrival we noticed that the bathroom and kitchen floors were dirty and the lounge carpet was full of dog hair.

Thank you for your comments although I am sorry to read that you do not feel your holiday property was suitable for children or older customers. Having reviewed bookings to date I can see that we have had customers of all ages stay at the house, with most very happy with the location and access to/from Victoria Road. The road does indeed climb as it leaves the town but the majority of the walk to/from the centre of Dartmouth to the house is level - we will review our description and update where/if necessary. I am very disappointed that certain aspects of the property were not satisfactorily cleaned ahead of your arrival. We will ensure the housekeeper receives this feedback and that the house is presented to its usual high standards going forward. Owner relations

“Great House, clean and modern, and good outside space on the top floor, ...”

Great House, clean and modern, and good outside space on the top floor, bedrooms good size, and nice bathroom, kitchen was lovely, and would go back there again, Dartmouth is sooo nice, and all the surrounding areas were easy to get to on the Ferry or by road, loved it there, Blackpool Sands well worth a visit, and Salcombe, Brixham, and Torquay, Totnes for shopping, entertainment locally was not very good, but we still really enjoyed our holiday,

Many thanks for your kind review in respect of your recent stay at Crew House in Dartmouth. We were delighted to receive your feedback and do hope you enjoyed your holiday. Looking forward to welcoming you back to the Dartmouth area very soon. Owner relations
“This property is only suitable for a tiny dog, there is only outside space with an ugly wall facing.”

It smelt damp ,the master bedroom is lovely,the bathroom is nice and that's it,very disappointing as the photos over sold it, not suitable for elderly or little toddlers. Overpriced for state of it,good location.

Many thanks for your recent feedback in respect of this property although I am sorry that some of the accommodation did not meet your expectations. As you are aware the property has been assessed to a 'VisitEngland' 4-Star standard, with the additional benefits of some outside space (for dining) and relatively quick access to Dartmouth. It is, as you suggest, a cottage probably best suited to couples or families with older children, with the upper attic room an ideal base for teenagers (as described). We will use your comments to amend our description of the property where appropriate. If you have any further comments in respect of your holiday please do not hesitate to contact me directly at any time. Owner relations

“Crew house was in a good location 5 mins walk from centre of Dartmouth.”

The free parking at nearby public car park was very useful. The house itself is okay, smelt a little musty and there was a big smell of smoke in the property which I think wafted in from the neighbours every morning and evening. This however is not the fault of the property. Overall, a decent place to explore Dartmouth and surrounding areas from.

Many thanks for your positive review in respect of Crew House in Dartmouth. We really value your feedback in respect of the property and have passed on the issues mentioned to our Property Services Team for their attention. We do hope you enjoyed your stay and do hope you choose to stay with us again. 3 months ago Further to your recent review, the owners would like to pass on their thanks to you for your valuable feedback. They were really pleased you liked the house and found it to be in a good location. A smell of smoke actually entering the house from outside sounds unusual and is not a problem they have encountered on their many trips to Crew House; they can only think there were holidaymakers at an adjoining property who smoked a lot outside during the time you were there and for this, they can only apologise. Crew House is a self-contained, well-insulated, private house which would only smell musty if unused for a long period (which was perhaps the case then). The owners have just visited the property and there were no signs of must or smoke. Thank you again for taking the time to complete the review and we do look forward to welcoming you back to the Dartmouth area in the very near future. 2 months ago Owner relations
“Would have been excellent but for the downstairs outside toilet which really needed a good clean.”

“Beautiful house with everything you could want.”

My only criticism was that the cleanliness, especially kitchen cupboards and fridge could have been better. I had to wipe them out before unpacking due to spills and bits of food.

Many thanks for your positive review in respect of your recent stay at Crew House in Dartmouth. Your feedback is important to us and we were disappointed to read that the standard of cleanliness was not satisfactory in certain areas. As you will appreciate, we work very hard with all owners and housekeepers to ensure holiday properties are satisfactorily cleaned and presented - we are therefore sorry that this was not the case on this occasion. We were pleased to hear how much you enjoyed staying at this beautiful property and do hope to welcome you back to the South Hams very soon. The Team at Coast & Country Cottages Owner relations

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. 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 Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular sandy beaches are a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

No parking at property - parking pass supplied. The car park is approximately 15-20 minute walk from the property. Please note that the Mayors Avenue Car Park is closed for the Dartmouth Regatta Week and parking will be at the Dartmouth Park & Ride. The small snug/teenagers area is accessed via a steep ladder. Care and supervision should be taken when using the ladder.
