Windwhistle

Amazing location, property had everything we needed including the stunning views over Dartmouth and the river.

Just the joy of hearing the steam train everyday whilst sitting out on the lovely balcony overlooking the town made it a truly special holiday. Highly recommend Windwhistle, very clean and comfortable, with all the facilities you need.

Arriving for a three night stay just before Christmas, we were disappointed to find the heating had not been switched on and no welcome pack.

No christmas decorations had been provided, not even a small tabletop tree. The bed configuration had also not been made up as requested. Having stayed in this property before and received a lovely welcome pack, we assumed this would be provided, but apparently not all properties provide them now!

Excellent stay at Windwhistle - wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Well equipped and comfortable with great views. Parking spot invaluable. Good proximity to town centre whilst being beautifully peaceful in residential area.

very happy with everything, it was just as promised.

one small thing is that the radio didn't work but not a problem. Amazing views of Dartmouth and the Dart from every room.

Our second stay this year and another perfect week in lovely Windwhistle.

The weather was unusually inclement, but as people who don’t bother about British weather, we used it to our advantage and spent a lot of time enjoying the cosiness of the cottage and the beautiful views. Every consideration has been given to what is needed for Windwhistle to be a ‘home from home’, and it made for very easy living. We know the area well, so Inbetween rain showers, we walked all around Dartmouth, visited Coleton Fishacre, Berry Head and Brixham. It was a holiday booked for rest and recuperation after two lots of surgery, and it was a complete tonic.

What a beautiful home!

We had everything we needed for a super week. The house was well-equipped, providing us with comfort and relaxation. It was perfectly positioned for stunning views and a daily workout up the hill. We will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Whindwhistle is such a delightful place to spend a holiday.

Everything about the cottage made us feel instantly relaxed. We have visited Dartmouth for more than three decades, and Windwhistle offered all we needed, and the views and outdoor areas were tremendous. Everywhere was immaculately clean with every facility available. We were planning a more peripatetic holiday around Devon this year, but following (my) shoulder surgery, our plans needed to revert to our usual self catering routine. It was absolutely the rest I needed, whilst we also enjoyed our usual walks and trips to local places. This was a last minute booking and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you!

Great Views , high standard on everything, The location from the town is great and the bonus is the car parking space, anyone familiar with Dartmouth will know this is huge .

Great place to relax, again if you know Dartmouth the walk up to this property is a bit of a challenge but we just knew we could have an extra glass of wine in the town knowing we could walk it off on the way back ❤️

Overall we were very pleased with the accomodation, there were a few little issues, one being the toilet seat in the main bathroom on the middle floor was loose & moved when sat upon & my wife cut her hand whilst washing up the measuring jug.

The rim of the jug had a very sharp edge caused by a bit previously been chipped off which was difficult to see and may have been done for a while (we only found it as we made scrambled eggs on the last morning) This is no fault of the owner and just one of those things. We left a note for the cleaning staff with the jug to highlight that the item needed replacing, secondly and because of the aforementioned there were no elastoplasts in the first aid box, however i always carry a first aid kit in my car, but for future holidaymakers some elastoplasts to accompany the bandages may be helpful. One further thing, this property is located at the top of a steep and lengthy hill so i would not recommend for anyone infirm and poor fitness. That said the views from the balconies are stunning over Dartmouth. Would i stay there again? absolutely.

Windwhistle is a beautiful cottage Very clean and wow the views were amazing The only downside was that it was at the top of a steep hill, but we were fit by the end of the week

Windwhistle is a beautiful house with stunning views, well equipped and immaculately clean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful property with magnificent views over Dartmouth.

Spotlessly clean and well equipped.Lovely comfortable beds with luxurious bedding.A five minute walk to the shops,restaurants and passenger ferries which take you along the river.I highly recommend the Round Robin trip.We were lucky with the weather and had a wonderful holiday,we look forward to returning one day.

Lovely position of property with stunning views.

Very comfortable with all the amenities you could need and be prepared for a very steep climb up the hill. However it could do with a lick of paint on some of the walls, some revamping of silicone around the shower and the oven could do with a clean

We had a comfortable and relaxing stay at Windwhistle Cottage.

It is luxuriously furnished and the beds were lovely to sleep on. The views from the house are magnificent and we will definitely be booking again- thanks for a wonderful week.

We had a lovely stay at Windwhistle.

The beds were comfortable, the property was clean and well furnished. The only thing we couldn't find in the kitchen was a pair of scissors.

We had a fantastic stay at Windwhistle, very clean and comfortable accommodation with wonderful views.

Thank you and throughly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at windwhistle cottage, the property suited all our needs in terms of comfort, resources and location to activities for the family.

The only downside was access to the cottage via the 33% road.

Lovely property with fantastic views.

..we were very fortunate with the weather. Beds were comfortable, showers good everything clean and tidy Only small thing...a toilet brush in each toilet (rather than 1 for 3) would be good Ps...I wish we didn't have to strip the beds when we leave...it slightly spoils the holiday feeling.

We had a great holiday.

The property is superb. It is in a good location and has off-road parking. The house is on a steep hill parts of which are about 1 in 3 gradient so he elderly or people with walking difficulties should take note. Horn Hill steps are an alternative route. Plenty a of taxis are available but order in advance. Enjoy wonderful Dartmouth

A really lovely house with a great view over Dartmouth.

We were three couples and perhaps the house was a little small as the sofa area seated four comfortably but struggled for six. The bedrooms were fine but we're advertised as three en suite but one room only had a shower room but did not have a toilet which wasn't made clear in the description and two couples had to share a toilet. We probably wouldn't have booked if we had realised this! Crowther Hill was also quite steep and sometimes after a lovely meal in Dartmouth was a bit of a bind!

Wind whistle,Wow!

Amazing facilities beautiful and clean breathtaking views from every window or balcony. Parking spot and garage easy access and such an important asset. Great location for popping into Dartmouth for some fabulous food drink and Dartmouth hospitality ❤️ Already looking at dates to re book . Perfect holiday destination! ❤️

Loved the property so open and fresh.

Whilst there is plenty of bedroom for 6 people not sure how you would accommodate 6 adults in the living space. There was only 2 of us and it was comfortable. View from the balconies was worth getting up for, loved to have eaten on the balconies but of course the seagull make it impossible. Also don't seagulls sleep at night???

We enjoyed Windwhistle very much.

The standard of the property was as good as we knew it would be and was very comfortable (except for the hill!). An ideal property for a young family with lots to do in the area. It was quite easy for us to leave our car in the parking space in front of the garage and go for walks and trips on the various ferries including a steam train trip. We had a slight issue with an oven that needed to be cleaned but this was addressed immediately by Coast and Country with the cleaners leaving us a bottle of Proseco as an apology. It was not a big deal but we were impressed by the way it was handled.

Maybe an extra armchair now you have three bedrooms.

We slept on the top floor and the blinds work quite well blocking early morning sun. If we had slept in one of the other rooms it would have been too bright for us with the early morning sun. We had a lovely stay and would definitely book again if we go to Dartmouth

We really loved our stay at Windwhistle, even the hill as views are amazing.

If I was being very picky it would have been nice to have a couple of blankets for the chilly evenings, but otherwise really comfy space.

Great place.

Bigger than it looks in the photos, it really is quite spacious. Spotless, and well equipped. Bed very comfy.

Lovely house, comfortable beds.

Could have done with more glassware (only 3 red wind glasses and tumblers) and snack bowls, but otherwise great.

Lovely cottage and great views.

Need to be clearer about the steep hill and steps for people with mobility issues.

The accommodation is exceptional and the stunning views over the town and harbour are well worth the walk up the steep hill.

Not recommended to anyone with difficulty climbing a hill but overall fantastic accommodation

Windwhistle is a fabulous property with one of the best views of Dartmouth and the river Dart we have ever experienced.

As regular visitors to the area we were expecting a good view, but from either of the balconies or the garden terrace below, you could easily lose yourself watching the world go by on land and water. BBQ and outdoor eating is a lovely option on the lower terrace, just need to navigate the steps down and back up - but well worth the little bit of effort. Accommodation is generous, bedrooms and bathrooms comfortable - the en-suite shower room useful for teenagers / 2 couples sharing etc. Very clean and fresh on our arrival. And although not an issue if you’re going to be eating out often as we did, but a dishwasher would be a useful final addition for the property. Parking place was a godsend as access up the road from town is steep, narrow and quite tricky to navigate. However, turning up the hill from the property rather than back down into town takes you on a more typical Devon road with plenty of passing places and is only 5 mins longer to get into the centre of Dartmouth by car going that way. Walking into town and back is good for a workout, very close - only 5 mins. But anyone with mobility issues will need their sticks! If you want a week where you don’t even need to take car out, then Windwhistle can offer you that. Several passenger ferries can take you over the river or up and down it to many destinations.

Lovely house, fabulous views.

Very comfortable furnishings. Recommend highly.

Windwhistle has the wow factor in terms of holiday accommodation.

It is beautifully appointed and must have some of the best views across Dartmouth and the river Dart in the the area with two balconies and a decked terrace to chose from. It is close to all amenities, shops and restaurants as well as boats trips, stunning walks and and the Dartmouth Steam Railway. All in all it is a lovely place to stay for a holiday and we can’t wait to return.

What a lovely comfortable, cosy house, we have been visiting Dartmouth for 40 years and this is one of the nicest properties we have rented.

Everything was clean and fresh. This was great as weatherwise it has been very wet unfortunately. It would have been nice to have used the balcony more, but just too cold and wet, however we loved the view. Did some of our favourite walks over to Kingswear and around to Colyton Fishacre and along to the Castle for a walk uo to Gallants Bower, the bluebells are spectacular.

We have had a very enjoyable stay at Windwhistle.

The Cottage has been perfect for out weeks stay in South Devon. The views from the balcony will stay with us for many years. We were lucky to have great weather for our week in Dartmouth. We enjoyed 3 swims in the sea. Recommend the steam train and ferry boat. Lots of great walks and enjoyed drinks at the floating bridge watching the higher ferry.

We had a fantastic family holiday, grandma, children, and grandchildren- all adults.

Great accommodation for all 6 f us: everything we needed to spend evenings at home, catching the sunrise on the balcony, watching a DVD, and relaxing in the bath! Such a fab location and we are so much fitter for the hill climbs every day. Discovering Dartmouth and the surrounding area after many years of absence, has rekindled our love from the area- walks, visiting the castle, ferries across the river, Blackpool Sands and the bays. Even went fishing. Coffees, pasties, and local pub food, all delicious.

Thank you for a lovely comfortable stay.

The views from the balcony are amazing- especially at night. Dartmouth is so beautiful- our first time here and really impressed with the food, restaurants, local amenities and our walks to the castle and ferry ride home! We visited the harbour every day and breakfast the Embankment Bistro was amazing. I would highly recommend it. Leaving very happy and with such stronger calf muscles after the daily hill-climb! Thank you!
