“Garage was able to fit a Prius plus in, crucial as no parking by the house.”

- Mrs Adams, May 2019
“We were led to believe building works in adjoining property would not impact on our holiday.”

Unfortunately it impacted greatly, loud banging singing music shouting from 8am Monday to Friday. Garden was a mess as a consequence. Unable to sit outside as builders in full view. I feel that Coast and Country should view the property to assess how much the work impacts on peoples holiday and I believe this was not the case. The property is less than half a mile from Dartmouth office. If this had been done they would of been able to give us a true assessment. I would not of booked this property if I had known the full extent. Disappointing I will not be booking with coast and country again.

- Mrs Muir, July 2019
“We were very disappointed with the overall cleanliness of Gooder House on arrival.”

As l informed the Coast and Country Cottages office on the next day. The whole house was covered in cob webs. The downstairs bedroom was particularly poorly cleaned. In fact I did question if it had been. There was a lump of chewing gum on the window sill, loads of cob webs and the bathroom floor was filthy. The lady in the office did offer us a re clean but by that time we had all arrived and were keen to get on with our break. I was also very disappointed that no one had seen fit to give us warning of the building work going on next door. This proved to be very disruptive on a daily basis. The builders arrived every weekday morning at 7.30 am with their radio blaring, which continued all day. When they started the drilling the noise in Gooder House was horrendous. In fact one day some plaster came off the wall in the hallway. Considering the cost of the holiday I cannot describe it as a relaxing holiday.

“Third visit to this wonderful home.”

It has everything we could hope for in a holiday home and a friendly community around it. Views of the sea from upstrairs. Light and airy kitchen with doors opening onto back patio. The Owners even called with a bottle of Sharpham wine. So local!

- Mrs Gray, March 2019
“Practically Perfect in Every Way, We've stayed in Gooder House more times than I can remember, it is just perfect and relaxing.”

Very comfortable and ideally situated for our stay in Dartmouth with lovely views over the water to Kingswear from the living room. Having the use of the garage is such a bonus because parking in Dartmouth is getting harder nowadays, Currently the property next door is being renovated and the builders are on site early in the morning (this is so they can get their trucks parked early) but they are a good group of lads who get on with the minimum amount of disturbance, Would highly recommend Gooder House for its central location, comforts and high standards.

- Mrs Fantom, March 2019
“A short break and Coast and Country could accommodate our awkward dates for our convenience .”

Returned to this wonderful house for a second time. Its just like home. And I can park my car in the garage and bring my dog!

- Mrs Gray, February 2019
“This is one of the nicest places we've stayed in , down in Dartmouth.”

And we've visited too many times to remember! The house is so beautifully furnished and loved and tastefully coastal. We saw the photos of the house before renovation and it now has such a clever design. Even the car fitted in the garage which was a great bonus.. As ever Dartmouth is a great place to come back to . And all the locals so friendly and welcoming , especially letting us take are little wire fox terrier everywhere with us.

- Mrs Gray, November 2018

“Great location providing you don't mind hills and dealing with steep narrow lanes.”

Great to have the garage to park in otherwise would have been difficult. House has everything you need. Could do with some redecoration in places, but that is certainly not a big issue.

“It was our second stay at Gooder House and both times have been wonderful.”

The house is so homely we did not want to go home - so much so we ended up extending our stay! I would highly recommend Gooder House, it is in the perfect location with the added extra of a garage for parking. The house is beautifully decorated and very spacious. As a keen cook and baker, I enjoyed the kitchen/dining area most! The fact this property is also pet friendly is wonderful, my dog loved her stay as much as we did!

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.

Please note the house is situated in Above Town (Steep and narrow access road & steps to town centre).

The garage is suitable for a small to medium size car. Dimensions available on request.

There is currently building work taking place on a neighbouring property. please call the office for more information.
