“It was the perfect place for our Family reunion with our Dartmouth relations.”

Sadly I became more relient on my wheelchair shortly before we arrived (was still walking with just a stick when we booked) so struggled a little with the stairs and using the downstairs shower as I needed assistance to go in and out with no handrails, However we did manage. The views were fantastic and a wonderful way to wake up to which we all appreciated. The week went so quickly and we all felt very at home in this beautiful cottage.

- Mrs Wickenden, May 2019
“Seaway House is always clean, well equipped and near to many beautiful beaches.”

Thank you a lovely relaxing week.

- Mrs Davenport, April 2019
“Seaway House is a beautiful, well-equipped and comfortable house, conveniently situated near Dartmouth.”

The online photos don't really do the sea views justice. Its location near the South West coastal path means you can walk to nearby beaches without using the main coastal road, which isn't really suitable for walking. It can get steep walking down to the beach and back again, but it's worth it when you get there. Dartmouth was less than four miles away and the park and ride bus service made parking easy. A highlight was the ferry from Dartmouth quay to the castle - a lovely way to see the town, and Kingswear across the river. We were very lucky with the weather and spent the Easter weekend on the beach, but as the weather began to turn later in the week the views of the sky and sea from the house were stunning. A very relaxing week.

- Mrs Koe, April 2019
“The house is lovely with very nice interiors, well equipped kitchen and beautiful views.”

Walking distance from good beaches but also games and table tennis for bad weather days. Good value.

- Mrs Pepperell, December 2018
“This is a superb little cottage with sea views.”

Its piece de resistance is the full width conservatory where we spent most of our 'at home' time, our daughter and granddaughter loved it. Nice garden. Kitchen smallish but workable, Spacious and comfortable bedrooms. Downstairs shower room a bonus. The only negative are the directions, they take you down a very narrow cart track, use the A379, much safer.

“Lovely spacious property, however it was very remote and too far out of Dartmouth and meant taxis at additional cost.”

Being in Dartmouth centre which would have been our preference but had to change property as per comment above.

“Lovely house with beautiful views.”

There did seem to be a bit of a problem with flies in the sun room - lots came in and died on the windowsills which wasn't that pleasant. The house was generally well equipped although it would have been good to have had a salt/pepper grinder provided - we had to go out and buy our own. Also for a house sleeping 6 there was a shortage of mugs/glass tumblers - the minimum we would expect would be 6 but it in reality it would be good to have a few extra such that they didn't have to be rescued from the dishwasher every time!

“Beautiful property in a wonderful location with glorious foods.”

Just the place for R&R. The only downfall was no rubbish collection even though the bin was left out all week?!

- ,

It was pleasing to receive your kind review regarding both our service and your chosen holiday property, Seaway House in Strete, near Dartmouth. We were disappointed to read that you experienced problems with the rubbish collection. Unfortunately , the council missed the collection the week of your stay and this was out of our control - apologies for any inconvenience caused. We do hope to welcome you back to this beautiful part of South Devon again soon. The Team at Coast & Country Cottages. Owner relations

“Superb house, lovely gardens and views”

- ,
“The positives - great location, find sea views, lovely garden, comfortable beds & spacious, just a few niggles - 'BBQ' was left in a dirty state by previous occupants, there was an acute lack of crockery (cups, mugs, bowls & all cutlery,) this negated the convenience of the dishwasher since due to the lack of facilities we had to wash items up after every meal.”

This was flagged up to 'Coast & Country Cottages' who didn't bother to respond? There is also an unmarked step down into the kitchen area from the back door with neither a hand rail nor warning sign, the white floor tiles made it difficult to see the fairly high step down, unfortunately my elderly mother fell flat on her face onto the concrete tiled floor badly bruising her arms & leg, this needs to be attended to most urgently & at least marking the edges to the step in another colour for people with impaired vision. The Lounge furniture was also most uncomfortable & low to sit on.

- Mr Steve Coggan,
“Seaway House was everything we hoped for,it was absolutely immaculate when we arrived,the bed was so comfy and what a joy in the morning to open the French doors and walk out onto the balcony.”

The conservatory was lovely for the cooler days and although the kitchen is small it had everything we needed to self cater.If we had a critiscm at all it would be that it was very cold when we arrived with no instructions about the heating ,so we had to do a bit of hunting around before we could sort that out,also it would have been nice if there had been a note just to say where the nearest supplier of logs were,after a fairly long journey,we had to go out again to buy some.(It was the local shop).The views were gorgeous and it was very convenient for Dartmouth ,Slapton Sands ,Dittisham and the Salcombe area.The village was a few minutes stroll away,there is a small friendly shop and the local pub did lovely food,excellent service.

“Nice cottage & location.”

Seating could be improved to be more comfortable & seating for the balcony for more than 2 would have been used. Enjoyed the table tennis table.

“Great place to stay,very clean,great garden, great views.”

The only draw back the garden needed some kind of lighting, to be able to sit out at night with a drink.

“Loved Seaway House.”

Very clean and beautiful views. A criticism would be for a house which sleeps six people, there were only 2 coat hangers! We had to purchase 12 hangers! Nowhere to hang clothes in one of the bedrooms so had to share with one of the other rooms - wasn't a problem but a bit tiresome.

- Jan Carney,

Many thanks for your review of Seaway House at Strete. We are delighted to hear that you had such a lovely stay in this very clean property with beautiful views. We are grateful for your feedback regarding the provision of coat hangers, this has been passed on to the owners for their attention. We hope you choose to stay with us again soon.

“Excellent accomadation.”

Very spacious with stunning views. Well equipped with cutlery, crockery etc. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the view every morning and spent a lot of time on the balcony with our coffee or lunch. The kitchen is a tad on the compact side,only made for one to use at once. The walk along the main road to the village was a bit hazardous, but generally we had a lovely relaxing stay

- Mrs L Turner,

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. 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 Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular sandy beaches are a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

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