The issues we had were as follows... ...

The issues we had were as follows... Accessibility: the description of the access to and within the property is limited on the site. The road to access is incredibly tight and difficult to navigate, especially for large vehicles. The layout of the house was not clear from description I.e two separate flights of steep and narrow stairs to access kitchen and bedroom. Not a disabled friendly property at all. Garden area: no furniture provided aside from a bench! No shaded area or parasol and the raised decking area very unkempt and rundown. Not helpful in a heatwave. Area just needs a good paint and clean up. Equipment: TV very dated and instructions unclear on how to use. Tv’s in bedrooms missing remotes so could not use freeview. Tumble dryer not working correctly. upstairs electric shower head needs a clean as holes blocked and water spraying outside of bath. Storage: every cupboard in the kitchen in use so limited space to store a weeks worth of food that had been delivered. The whole house needs some TLC, e.g finding room chair pads stained and quite damp, general re-decoration. However, we did have a wonderful week, excellent base for Dartmouth, and house more than met our needs, with a bit of attention paid to it would be an outstanding property.

“The House was very well proportioned with plenty of space for all 7 of us.”

The house certainly had a 'wow' factor, with really lovely furnishings and interesting pieces of art work. Views from the house were lovely and it was only a brief walk into Dartmouth, which is a picturesque coastal town. There are antique shops, ice cream parlours and lots of pubs and places to eat. Steep walk back up the hill, but we'll worth the effort.

“Dartmouth is an absolutely beautiful place with lots to do for three generations of a family in the local area.”

The house exceeded expectations in terms of its space and character: we were a group of 6 and we had lots of space. One small point is that we would have appreciated a few bits to “get us going” before our shopping arrived - ie some hand soap/loo rolls. Anyway, we would definitely return to Fairview House and Dartmouth.

Thank you for your feedback. We are very happy to hear the you enjoyed your stay at Fairvew House in Dartmouth. All our properties are advertised as self catering, however we do provide 1 toilet roll in each toilet and a starter pack of dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, j cloth and a sponge for the kitchen. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dartmouth soon. Owner relations

“Lovely House .”

Photos don’t do it justice ! Perfect location with excellent garden and amazing views . House was very comfortable and far better than expected . Couldn’t ask for anything more . Will be back to Dartmouth soon I hope !
Miss Marshall October 2018

“The location was perfect, only a short walk from the harbour.”

Fairview house was fantastic, it had everything we needed and was well equipped. The house had so much space to allow everyone to do their own thing if necessary. The garden and views were amazing, we’d love to go back during the summer months to really appreciate it. A good time had by all.
“Basically a lovely, roomy house with plenty of sunny outside space and superb views of "The Hill" across the valley in Dartmouth.”

Needs updating, however. Only 8 mugs provided and half of them chipped. Dodgy dishwasher. Lack of kitchen equipment. Opaque TV instructions and no pause/replay/record facility. Smelly bathroom (mould on shower curtain and around bath) with over-engineered shower. Shower room potentially quite cold and desperately in need of major update. Heating/hot water very good, with full access to controls. Parking for 3 cars, but access/egress tricky, to say the least. Fairview Road is aptly named and is a quiet backwater well up out of the bustle of Town. Utterly ruined, however, by the minority of dog walkers who leave mess everywhere – including just outside the gate and on the private parking bay behind the car. Also regularly dropped into the gull-proof refuse collection sacks. A major spoiler.

With reference to your recent feedback I am sorry to read that certain aspects of the property were not satisfactorily presented or maintained. We will work with the owners of the property to rectify the maintenance issues as soon as possible and at the same time will check and replace kitchen equipment and crockery as necessary. I am disappointed and surprised to read your comments about the dog mess problem in Fairview Road. Although we have not received similar reports, I have asked our Dartmouth Manager to report the problem to the South Hams District Council as a matter of concern. I am pleased to read you were generally happy with the accommodation, this is a very popular property which has a great deal of returning customers. In spite of the problems mentioned above we hope to see you again in the near future. If you would like to discuss any of the issues raised in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at any time.

“High standard of interior furnishings & fittings but let down by minor items missing in bedrooms ie side tables & mirrors correctly positioned.”

Also builders/decorators who had just finished renovating the exterior had not removed all of the debris from outside the property. In spite of this criticism we enjoyed our stay & would return
“Large house and views.”

Kitchen could be be equipped

Many thanks for your positive review regarding your recent stay at Fairview House in Dartmouth. We were pleased that we were able to replace the faulty toaster so quickly. We were grateful for your valuable feedback in respect of the kitchen equipment. As a consequence, we are pleased to advise that a member of our team is visiting the property this week to arrange for the replacement of missing kitchen items where necessary. Looking forward to welcoming you back to this beautiful area very soon. The Team at Coast & Country Cottages Owner relations
“Fairview House is a lovely property for young and the not so young.”

It is large, clean and spacious with the added bonus of parking for three cars, which is exceptional in Dartmouth, where it is so hard to park. The large garden with decking and grass is provided with barbeque, picnic benches and table and chairs. Plenty of room for children to run around in. We were a party of 4 adults and two very young children and the accommodation worked perfectly for us. You can walk down to the harbour in 20 minute, but beware it is a steep hill down and feels twice as steep coming up! However the no. 90 or 90a bus from the Station Restaurant is every 15 minutes and stops at the top of Fairview Road, and it is then only a few minutes walk to the house. Altogether a lovely property in a beautiful location and would return.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Fairview House in Dartmouth. Thank you for your kind review in regards to both the property and the service provided by our team. We are glad to hear that the property suited your needs and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Owner relations

“Like: Location, spacious, wonderful garden area, excellent car parking facilities.”

Dislike: Kitchen equipment needs going through and more attention needed in cleaning kitchen area e.g. floor dirty all round edges and under unit by french doors, and chairs still had food on them from previous occupants.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback in respect of Fairview House in Dartmouth. We were pleased to read that there was plenty to like at Fairview House - its location, wonderful gardens and excellent car parking. We were, however, disappointed to learn that the property was not cleaned and presented to a satisfactory standard upon arrival.

“Good large clean house on top of a (very) steep hill with good views from the decking areas.”

The house is 3 storey and has plenty of room, it could easily accommodate 2 small families. A short walk downhill into Dartmouth town, back up the hill is a challenge (burns off the food and ice cream !)

Thank you for taking the time to leave such great feedback in respect of your recent stay at Fairview House in Dartmouth. We were delighted to read that you had an enjoyable stay in this spacious house and particularly liked the views from the decking areas. It was also good to hear you found an excuse to enjoy lots of delicious food and ice cream! Looking forward to welcoming you back to Dartmouth in the future. 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, 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 property is located on Fairview Road, which is very narrow in places.

All bed linen and bath/hand towels are supplied. You will need to bring your own tea towels beach towels and oven gloves.
