“Lovely House. We will return”

Gooder House is in a fantastic location just a 5 minute walk to the centre of Dartmouth with its lovely shops, pubs and the river with boats and ferries. 6 of us stayed here in August and had a fantastic time. The house has a garage which fitted our Hyundai Tucson. Our second car we parked by Dartmouth castle where there is free parking on the road which is a 15 minute walk from the property. The house was very clean and had a very well equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave , washing ...

Gooder House is in a fantastic location just a 5 minute walk to the centre of Dartmouth with its lovely shops, pubs and the river with boats and ferries. 6 of us stayed here in August and had a fantastic time. The house has a garage which fitted our Hyundai Tucson. Our second car we parked by Dartmouth castle where there is free parking on the road which is a 15 minute walk from the property. The house was very clean and had a very well equipped kitchen with dishwasher, microwave , washing machine , cooker etc and even had an Alexa talking device. The house is on 3 levels and the top level there is a lovely spacious but cosy lounge with a Juliette balcony where you can stand and see the harbour with all the boats moored. During our stay we went on the steam train from Dartmouth to Paignton which was lovely. Note we booked our tickets on line but were never once asked to show our tickets. You get the passenger ferry from Dartmouth to Kingswear and say to the ferry man that you have an on line booking. We then collected our train tickets from the station which is just a few minutes walk from the ferry. We then boarded the train but did not have to show our tickets either going to Paignton or coming back. You get reserved seats in a carriage but there were plenty of spare seats. We also visited Blackpool sands and Slapton sands during our visit which are both approx 15 minutes drive from Dartmouth. Both well worth visiting we thought. One point to note , the property is located above Dartmouth and you gave to drive up a very steep and narrow road to reach it. The first time it is quite hairy if you are not used to it but after that it is fine. Also the walk back from Dartmouth to the house is very steep but only short, approx 5 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gooder House and would return here.

“Beautiful house which is ideally located close to the centre of Dartmouth.”

We were so impressed that we have immediately booked for October! Service from CC was excellent. We did not have a seagull sack which was provided within hours, excellent service! One of the tiles came loose in the main bathroom, along with a loose toilet seat but neither of which were an issue and to be expected from a holoday home.

“We had made a huge error and booked the wrong dates for the property, the staff were so friendly and helpful and managed to turn the property around within 20 minutes so we could relax and enjoy our stay.”

The photos of our property didn't do it justice, it was a lovely space for a much needed break. SO grateful for their help, very professional and friendly.

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

“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.

We are sorry to learn of your experience whilst staying at Gooder House on this occasion. We value your feedback as a very valued Coast and Country Cottages customer. As a previous guest at this property on several occasions we understand your disappointment in not having meet your expectations during this stay. We do have strict procedures in place to inspect all properties prior to guests arriving. On this occasion we have failed to meet the high standards required of our housekeeping team. Please be assured we have and will continue to address your comments with our team. We have contacted the owners concerning the building works in the neighbouring property. We understand they visited you during your stay to apologise for any disturbance. They did not expect the works being carried out to be so extensive at this time, as the property has only recently been purchased. The building contractor has been contacted and informed of the disturbance experienced during your stay. A number of issues have now been addressed to facilitate the least possible disruption and to meet future guests continued enjoyment of Gooder House. Owner relations

“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.

“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 February 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 November 2018

“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.

“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!

Thank you so much for your kind review of your second stay at Gooder House in Dartmouth. It was really pleasing to hear that you had such a lovely time in this wonderful property - it sounds absolutely perfect for you and your pet!

We love the quiet location and garage. Yet so close to the shops and restaurants. The house is beautifully decorated and very well equipped. This year we used the gas BBQ quite a few times. Looking forward to a third time.

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.

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