“The house was quite dirty, lots of fluff under all the beds/behind furniture.”

Stair handrails filthy. Looked like old blood spots & marks on the sheets. Panty liner strip, razor top etc left on floor in main bedroom. VERY small & 2 steep staircases with no gates definitely not good for children. Cushions on sofas very stained/dirty. No where to hang clothes in twin bedroom. Bedrooms badly laid out in general, rethink on hanging space/wardrobes needed. Washing machine front cracked, lightbulbs missing throughout. Sadly we won’t be returning.

“The property was great and we had a lovely holiday in Dartmouth and surrounding area.”

The only issue we encountered was a very aggressive neighbour who complained about the noise. Whilst we have young kids and understand that having frequent holiday lets living next door to you is challenging shouting aggressively at us in front of young kids was inappropriate and not the nicest start to the holiday. If he'd just knocked on and asked us to keep the noise down we'd have been happy to oblige. I know there isn't much you can do about the behaviour of neighbours but suspect this isn't the first time it has happened and wanted you to be aware.

“The accommodation was quite deceiving from the actual photos a lot smaller than expected, the outside space was tired and needed an uplift.”

One of the chairs outside was broken and previous people who stayed left a disposable bbq outside too. The overall cleanliness was also disappointing dust under the beds, mould in the shower en-suite and the fan in the downstairs bathroom didn’t work and it smelt of damp. The bedding upstairs didn’t smell fresh either, overall a disappointing stay. Would not book again unfortunately. The only plus side was the location. A little improvement in the garden and better bedding would improve the accommodation greatly.

Mrs Woodward July 2021

“This is a great little cottage in an excellent location which is clean and has a much sort after outside space, however it is not big enough for 4 people.”

Although it has 4 beds the living area is no where near big enough for 4 people to comfortably stay, it is a kitchen/lounge/diner but there isn't even enough room for the table to pull out and seat 2 chairs around let alone 4. Perfect place for a couple to stay,

Mrs Frew July 2021

“The accomodation was excellent, with good quality equipment and very clean, I was able to wash, dry and iron if I wanted to so this meant less to do when I arrived home which is always a bonus.”

Dartmouth itself is lovely but finding places to eat that were not fully booked was stressful and detracted from our holiday a little. It might be worth mentioning in the blurb that during school holidays particularly it is a good idea to book tables well in advance before you arrive to ease this issue. Cream Tea at the castle was excellent and worth the walk. We were asked to put rubbish in bin but as there was 3 bins not sure which 1 it should have gone in so possibly mark the bin you want the rubbish to go into. Overall the Hideaway is a lovely accomodation with very good facilities and in a good location.

“Great week in Dartmouth, location very central, had great fun investigating the town and surrounding countryside.”

“So been to the property before and it was fine.”

Clean and tidy. As it was this time, it's more the customer service that has failed.

Mr Jeffery October 2020

“The second time we have stayed here.”

Perfect place to use as a base to see Dartmouth and the surrounding area. Cheaper than one of the apartments with river views but still only a few minutes walk to the quay. Lots to do and places to eat and drink. Different than usual do to Covid. Good facilities in the house although I don’t usually cook etc whilst away so only used the kettle for a morning cuppa.

Mrs Andreasen October 2020

“It was lovely and clean, and right in the centre.”

Mr Parrish September 2020

“Although a parking permit is included it requires a 30 min wait to get a space in the Mayors avenue .”

Well equipped property, comfortable and warm, 2 min walk to town centre. Only downside are 2 flights of steep stairs to reach ensuite, 1 flight to reach living area so it may not be everyones ideal place.

- Mr Parrish, September 2020
Miss Ray September 2020

“Thank you for such lovely accomodation.”

The house was cosy, comfortable and just perfect for us. Our dog Crosby felt at home and loved the garden. We had such a wonderful holiday. We were right in the heart of everything and we visited so many places. Cant thank you enough.

- Miss Ray, September 2020
Mr Gallacher July 2020

“Rude and unnecessary notes from neighbours within 5 minutes of arrival.”

Summer duvet and fans. Otherwise everything as expected, great holiday

Mr Jeffery September 2019

“House in a great location being near to Dartmouth town centre but in a quiet side street.”

Been to Dartmouth loads of times and this place suited us perfectly. Would happily rent again when I next come to Dartmouth on holiday.

Mr Kay August 2019

“What we found wrong : Downstairs toilet / bathroom door did not shut or lock Toilet seat loose had to keep tightening it up beds were squeaking and noisy with movement and very hard / Headboard loose no wardrobes ?”

only a rack to hang slacks on ( Nothing in information to say no wardrobes to hang clothes ) Sofa uncomfortable to relax on as it was small and no head rest Shower was brilliant shame the maintenance was left to slip on the property

- Mr Kay, August 2019

We were sorry that you have had to report maintenance issues to us following your stay at The Hideaway. We work very hard with our property checkers to ensure properties are kept in a good condition, and we are sorry that we fell short on this occasion. We do hope that despite these points you were able to enjoy your stay in Dartmouth and that we can welcome you back to the area again soon. Property Owner

“Lovely modern cottage.”

Great location. Wonderful stay.

- Mrs Woolley, August 2019
Mrs Easton-soanes July 2019

“The property was in a good location for town.”

The property it's self when walking in the stair carpets was all stained , the paint work all marked. The sofa's are very low and small and not very relaxing. The garden is a total let down and is in urgent need of work. We were there in very hot weather and did not sit out there as the decking was broken and weedy and dirty as was the furniture and cushions. It looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time.

- Mrs Easton-soanes, July 2019
Mr Roberts October 2018

“We found the hideaway a comfortable cottage in a great location very close to the riverfront and town centre.”

Collecting keys, directions and car parking arrangements were all as advised at booking and very easy. Thanks for an enjoyable stay.

“Convenient location.”

Everything you need is available. Fine for two adults or two adults and small children, but would be a squeeze for four adults

CLAIRE Jul 2016

“The standard of décor and furnishings was high.”

The living area was however extremely small, so i'm glad there were only two of us for the majority of the week, the pictures were a little deceptive.

- CLAIRE, Jul 2016

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.

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.

One small dog allowed.

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