Topsail

We enjoyed our stay at Topsail.

The cottage was welcoming and had a lovely peaceful feel to it. It felt as though people had been happy there. The hill was steep, as warned, but quite exhausting to walk up. There were times when we took a taxi to get us up to the cottage! There was only one downside and that was the fact that there was scaffolding covering the front and rear of the building. The people next door were clearly having work done and their scaffolding intruded on the front of Topsail. We didn't expect the scaffolders to arrive on our first morning and start adding to the construction! When they left they had obscured the front window with a pile of planks leaning against a ladder. (Photo available) Also the scaffolding partly obscured the stunning views from the rear of the property! Not ideal and we feel we should have been warned. On the plus side, Dartmouth is a lovely place to stay and Topsail gave us a good base to explore the area.

We arrived to the sound of angle grinders and scaffolding that made the outside area filthy and unusable.

The scaffolding and works was being carried out at the neighbouring, attached property. The photos of the property were nothing like the reality looking at scaffolding and a builder perched right outside the bedroom window. We went home as it was not as advertised. Clear misrepresentation.

Lots to like about this little cottage, especially the views.

But to sit outside to enjoy the views I has to scrub the outdoor furniture. It looked as though the balcony had not been cleaned all winter, and we were now in spring. There was also a potentially disastrous situation where the bedroom door knob when turned would not open the door latch during the night, and I had no phone available to call anyone. 10 minutes later it eventually it did open!

Even with the heat on the top bedroom was cold and there was evidence of mould presumably from the cold and some damp.

Following instructions to the letter the log burner would not maintain a burn or generate much heat, the front was very dirty with tar build up so wonder if there is a problem with damp in the flue other issue stopping a decent burn.

Topsail had everything we needed for our stay.

The bed was so comfortable and the views from the property were lovely to wake up to.

Lovely cottage and we had a lovely stay our only criticism being the outside areas could do with a tidy up.

They do not resemble the photos online. The view is beautiful though and well worth the trek up the hill.

I have used your company in the past & the properties I have stayed in have been looked after extremely well.

This property definitely needs some TLC. The view is amazing & certainly sells the property. The garden & decking need tidying up. Bulbs missing in lights, bathroom light hanging off ceiling. Mould in the bathroom & paint peeling off in the kitchen. If you are going to rent out your holiday home for money make sure it’s up to standard. Many thanks.

Convenient, Comfortable with stunning views of Dartmouth and we would book again.

Beautiful view from the deck and a pleasant, clean, cosy cottage in a great location.

Easy walk into the centre of Dartmouth down a steep hill. Would recommend

Excellent property.

Good position for views., however, not suitable for people with difficulties hill climbing. All facilities were in operation.

Fantastic cottage with great views over Dartmouth Town, very well thought out and comfortable, loved our stay.

The property is beautifully appointed and with thoughtful additions and a very well stocked kitchen full of great utensils.

Three different ways to make coffee we were excited to play with a Moka pot!! The views are fabulous. The top bedroom gets warm maybe a lighter weight duvet in summer or keep the windows open before bed.

Thoroughly enjoyable 4 nights at Topsail.

The terrace and views make the hill worth the effort - you can't get such a wonderful panorama without a little effort! Recommended
