    “We recently stayed at Glendale in Dittisham, South Hams, near Dartmouth, and while the house itself was wonderful with excellent facilities, I feel it is important to highlight some issues with the accuracy of the information provided and the handling of our complaint.”

    The listing stated that a parking pass was available for £25 for the week; however, the actual cost was £10.20 per day, which over a week could amount to approximately £70. This is a considerable difference and could cause financial inconvenience for guests who have budgeted based on the information shown.

    The listing stated that a parking pass was available for £25 for the week; however, the actual cost was £10.20 per day, which over a week could amount to approximately £70. This is a considerable difference and could cause financial inconvenience for guests who have budgeted based on the information shown. When we raised this issue, the communication we received was disappointing. We were sent a series of WhatsApp messages simply asking whether the problem had been resolved, with no meaningful attempt to address it. We requested a goodwill gesture in the form of a partial refund to cover the excess parking costs, but this was not acknowledged. No one followed up by email or phone, which left us feeling that our concerns were not being addressed. This was particularly disappointing as we chose to move from Airbnb to Sykes, hoping for a better experience. On this occasion, the communication left us questioning that decision. The property itself is genuinely lovely with fantastic facilities, and it would be a shame for these avoidable issues to impact what could otherwise be an excellent stay. We would encourage Sykes to ensure that website information remains accurate and that guest concerns are handled with proper care and follow‑through.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at 3 Glendale. I’m really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the property and its facilities, but I’m very sorry for the issues you experienced regarding the parking information and the communication that followed. The listing should not have stated a £25 weekly pass as this was outdated, and we have now updated it to request all guests check the website provided to check daily charges or weekly parking pass prices due to changing council charges.  Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the local council, and we were not made aware that they had recently increased their parking prices. This led to the discrepancy you encountered, and I completely understand how frustrating that must have been. I also want to apologise for the communication you received after raising the issue. The way your concern was handled did not meet our usual standards, and we’re addressing this internally to ensure complaints receive proper attention and follow‑through going forward.  We will reach out to you to discuss this further.  Your feedback is genuinely appreciated and helps us ensure our listings remain accurate and that we provide a better experience for future guests.

The property

3 Glendale Cottages is an outstanding property resting within striking distance of the beautiful River Dart, found within the picturesque South Hams area of South Devon.

The interior of the property has retained much of its character and charm, which is complemented by the refreshing ambiance and contemporary-styling, offering an outstanding base for a traditional family holiday to Devon’s coast.

Enter through the porch and be welcomed into the hub of the home, the open-plan living room, where the original beams and the inglenook fireplace frame the room and offer a sense of character.

The space comprises of a well-equipped kitchen, a formal dining space and a sitting area, where, during a winter's evening, you can get cosy by lighting the woodburning stove.

Once the evening has drawn to a close, head up the staircase where you can catch glimpses of the estuary before you reach the two well-presented bedrooms.

Here, you will find a spacious double bedroom which boasts a quaint window seat, where you can unwind and soak up the views of the estuary as you wake up each morning.

Completing the interior is a well-presented bedroom and a brightly decorated bathroom, boasting both a bath and a walk-in shower.

If the weather is on side, head outside to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining or enjoy a stroll to the nearby Ferry Boat Inn or The Anchor Stone cafe, which both serve a delicious dining menu.

Alternatively, head to the nearby town of Dartmouth which rests at the mouth of the River Dart offering a magnitude of watersporting opportunities and endearing alleyways lined with shops, bars and restaurants.

Further afield is the glorious beach of Blackpool Sands or you can soak up the scenery further by walking along the South West Coast Path.

3 Glendale Cottages is a wonderful retreat for your next getaway with the family.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.

Unfortunately the property is not suitable for wheelchair access due to the location and access to the property.

Choice of two car parks in the village, one of which is located up a steep hill from the property.
