“Whilst the property was lovely, there were a few things that had not been checked before our arrival.”

The LED light above the bath was very dim and needed replacing whilst the main light in the en-suite did not work at all and should have been replaced. There was also no washing-up liquid in the kitchen (unless the hand-soap dispenser contained the washing up liquid!) ...

The LED light above the bath was very dim and needed replacing whilst the main light in the en-suite did not work at all and should have been replaced. There was also no washing-up liquid in the kitchen (unless the hand-soap dispenser contained the washing up liquid!) The biggest issue was the deep pile rug in the lounge, which on closer inspection was covered in dog hair and looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time. A deep pile rug is inevitably very hard to clean so I would strongly recommend you don't have one in a pet-friendly property and replace it with a rug that can be easily hoovered. Finally, whilst the direction isntructions were ok, it would have been more reasuring if you had provided the What3Words location for the property, which is "radiating.delay.flitting" (see https://w3w.co/radiating.delay.flitting), enabling me to clearly see where the property is before arrival.

“Harbour Heights was a lovely cottage with great views and had everything you need.”

Very well equipped. Heating was great so was lovely and warm and cosy. Very central for everything Dartmouth has to offer and even though the walk back to the cottage is hard work - we didn’t mind at all as it’s such a lovely place. We will be back for another visit!

“Really lovely and spacious accommodation with everything provided that you could need - the kitchen is particularly well stocked and everything was clean.”

Fabulous views in a great location, the hills and steps are not for the faint hearted though - but you feel great once you reach the top and catch your breath. My only suggestion would be that although the bedding and towels were spotless, when I stripped the beds as instructed the mattress covers were stained and the pillows had seen better days - but neither spoiled my stay! The area is lovely and quiet both during the day and at night, so you can relax in peace and get a good night's sleep.

“House was lovely and views amazing, nice to be able to park up the car for a few days and explore the area by boat, train, bus and walking, everything is in yiur doorstep.”

House had everything we needed for a really enjoyable stay, loved the garden views especially, we will be back

“We had to leave the property on the Thursday evening (rather than Friday Morning) when all the localised building work had ceased.”

Access re loading and unloading was a nightmare property is accessed by a very narrow road often blocked for long periods by builders vans or delivery vehicles. Also extensive renovations on the next door property started at 8am and work terracing the garden of this property spoiled the use of Harbour Heights terrace. On leaving we were asked to put bed linen in a black bag in doing so we noticed that the duvet in the front bedroom which we had been using was badly stained, disappointing when trying to follow safe procedures. Thank goodness we took our own pillows

- Steven, June 2021

Thank you for your review regarding your stay at Harbour Heights in Dartmouth. Regarding your comment about the road, being narrow, whilst the road is not suitable heavy goods vehicles, cars and vans use this road all the time without any issues. We were surprised you decided to leave the property one day early because we haven’t received any other feedback in respect to the road being blocked. There has been building works next door, but as far as we are aware it has not affected our customers, had we known we would have instructed C&CC to speak to the builders directly. Please accept our apologies about the stained duvet, it has since been replaced. Despite these issues we hope you had a nice holiday, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Dartmouth in the near future. Property Owner

“When we arrived could not get main TV to work.”

Instructions were for a Sony TV and handset but it was a Samsung TV. When reported Coast and Country Staff came out and fixed immediately plus explained how to deal with frozen Freesat box. Problem caused by wrong instructions plus frozen Freesat box. Instructions in book need updating for Samsung V remote and also explain how to deal with frozen Freesat box as it froze several more times during our stay. Light over mirror in on suite did not work. Coast and Country Staff in Dartmouth were excellent.

- Eileen, June 2021

Many thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are very pleased to hear that we were able to rectify your issue so quickly. We do hope you enjoyed all that Dartmouth has to offer and hope to welcome you back to the area soon. Property Owner

“Lovely holiday cottage, great view and very clean.”

We had a lovely time here, even all the steps are not so bad after a couple of days.

“Lovely part of the country, the view from the terrace was wonderful and well worth the climb to the top.”

“We enjoyed our week parking for dropping off bags is very limited three small spaces that are predominantly full the road is extremely narrow and gets worse as you go up the hill do not attempt unless you are a very confident driver just after the drop off there is a small pull in I would advise to turn around and go back down the hill Bedrooms on ground floor one at the back very dark room and ground floor bathroom also very dark and flooring is laminate and starting to warp front bedroom has a window.”

Beds are comfortable pillows are not. Living room really nice light and airy nice view spoilt by two pains of glass that need changing as they are old and deformed. Kitchen is fantastic with conservatory just off it with dining table. Lots of steps up to a very nice decking area fantastic views. Even better views if you go up the public footpath by the side of house and go to top of the hill. Lots of really great walking around the coast walk to greenway take the ferry back £7 one way each

“We really enjoyed our time at this lovely cottage.”

Views are spectacular especially from the top terrace. This property is not for the elderly or infirm. The walk to town involves 60-80 steep steps downwards and same on your return. The road up to the cottage is extremely narrow and not suitable for larger vehicles. We were informed on arrival it was 6’6” wide! Parking is in a car park around 10-15 mins walk away. I don’t think these points are made sufficiently clear in the cottage info before booking. The climb to the roof terrace is 3 flights of steep outside stairs. That aside this is a lovely cottage, ideal for 2, and Dartmouth is idyllic with wonderful scenery, lots of interesting shops, bakeries, cafes and restaurants. We would definitely come back

James May 2021

“We were disappointed that there was no welcome pack of tea coffee etc as described in the listing.”

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this property but feel that the difficulties with vehicular access ( extremely narrow access road) were not made clear enough and the steepness of the steps down to the town were not mentioned. This property would not be suitable for anyone with any degree of motability. Having said that, we would happily stay there again.

Teresa April 2021

“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.

Judi April 2021

“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.

Helen December 2020

“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.

Helen September 2020

“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

Sarah November 2019

“Amazing house, so well equipped a real home from home (better kitchen than we have got!”

!) really comfortable bed and to have a tv in the bedroom as well was amazing. The views were spectacular from the top terrace although the steps were a bit slippery due to the amount of rain. This was our first visit to Dartmouth and absolutely loved it, so dog friendly which helped. Only problem was we brought the big car instead of the mini!

Mrs Lowrie Nov 2019

“Our first visit to Dartmouth and we have been so impressed, everyone is so friendly and the dog was allowed nearly everywhere.”

Was lovely sitting by the open fire at The Royal Castle Hotel. Sampled quite a few of the local gins, even in the rain the place is amazing. Fantastic house with everything you need, home from home. Have had a really great little break and hope to come back some time.

“Location. Suitable only for people under 30ish.”

No parking, 4 available bays ALWAYS filled by the same cars, (I presumed locals). 44 steps upto the back garden view, 77 steps from town via Chapel Lane, and 113 OR 115 steps up past the Cherub pub. Did have a rest in there once or twice. Could not fault the accommodation.

- Dennis, April 2019

Thank you for feedback, we are pleased to hear that you were happy with the accommodation at Harbour Heights. As on street parking is often not available in Dartmouth, a parking permit is provided by the owner for the nearby Mayors Avenue car park. Due to the nature of the town, with steep hills in some parts, there are several steps to access some areas. To make sure this accommodation is suitable for our guests before booking, we have highlighted this in the property description and warning notes. Our team are always on hand to offer advice to customers when booking, if you have any queries regarding the suitability of the location for your party. Property Owner

“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.

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

The property allows up to 2 small/medium dogs.
