“Wonderful river and sea views from the terrace and an attractive, characterful cottage.”

However, the place badly needs a deep clean. The oven and grill were dirty and greasy and the kitchen units covered with dust.

“Harbour Heights had everything we needed for a wonderful, relaxing stay.”

It was immaculately clean but homely. & even had a cocktail shaker, which was a bonus as we had left ours at home! We loved having breakfast on the terrace overlooking the harbour - a fantastic viewpoint. Staying here has made us want to come back & enjoy another stay. Great coastal walking from the doorstep if you don’t want to get in the car on some days.

“Harbour Heights is a delightful property with everything that you need and more.”

The main living space in particular is lovely and spacious with a great view over The Dart. It is a steep climb up to the property from town but remember this is a costal location built into the the bank of an estuary - the town is so pretty and interesting to walk around but you need to be prepared for a few climbs. The restaurants are excellent. I would highly recommend The Angel and Taylor’s in particular. The Seahorse Restaurant is pleasant too.

“Positives - the house was in a great location with amazing views of the river and out to sea.”

Best equipped holiday home we have ever visited. Couldn’t have wished for more in the kitchen - the owners have thought of everything you could possibly need. Lovely to have the decked seating area at the back of the house with the fabulous views. Would be even better if the house had a good spring clean. The conservatory would benefit from being cleaned and a little more attention paid around the edges but this didn’t spoil our break. Lots of steps to walk down (and back up) to get to town but this was a positive for us as it meant we didn’t put weight on and could make the most of the lovely restaurants in Dartmouth (dog friendly too). Thank you for a lovely week - we look forward to staying with you again

“The house was perfect with fantastic views but the downside was we couldn't park there and it was up a very steep hill.”

We couldn't take advantage of the patio either because of the amount of steps leading up to it!

- Mrs Sue Stewart, May 2017

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review in respect of Harbour Heights in Dartmouth. We were pleased to hear that you loved the house and accompanying views. As mentioned in its description, parking is unfortunately not readily available at the property, so a seasonal parking pass is provided. To take full advantage of the great views, the garden area is arranged over 3 tiers and accessed via steep steps. We do hope that you enjoyed your holiday despite the access to the property, and we hope to welcome you back to the area again soon.

“Overall very good however someone needs to review the heating ( it being on when the outside temperature is quite high does make the property like a hot house.”

- , Jun 2016

Thank you for your review regarding your stay at Harbour Heights in Dartmouth. Regarding your comment about the heating the house has a Bluetooth mobile therrmostat that can be moved from one room to another to enable the right temperature to be set. The boiler also has the usual timer clock to enable heating to be turned off. Instructions, should they be needed, are also in the house file and Coast and Country are always happy to help guests with the operation of heating in the houses. We look forward to welcoming you back to Dartmouth in the near future.

“Was not made aware of the amount of steps required to walk which may be a problem for a less fitter person, otherwise it was a fantastic location.”

the views from the top terrace was fantastic, I did not want to leave.

“Lovely house but more emphasis required in initial description about location.”

A good 10 minute walk steeply downwards into town and a 20+ minute haul back - the town steps are very slippery / hazardous in the rain - my brother slipped and really hurt his leg. Some of the taxis would not attempt to go up to the house. And offloading the luggage proved very difficult. Tenants need to be prepared for this. The tiered garden would probably be inaccessible for anyone slightly infirm. Aside from this - very nice, terrific views for those who can climb the garden.

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 & steps to town centre).

NOTE - No parking at the property - parking permit supplied (car park is approximately 10-15 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

Several steps to reach the decking area with the views over the river.

The property allows up to 2 small/medium dogs.
