Description

Bell Cottage is a warm and inviting retreat set in the heart of Dartmouth, Devon, perfectly suited to couples or families with older children and offering en-suite bedrooms, peaceful river views from the patio and easy access to the nearby beach.

Stepping inside, you arrive in the bright kitchen/diner, a welcoming space made for slow mornings and unhurried evenings, styled with contemporary yet homely fixtures, a circular dining table at its centre, an electric fire for added comfort and a mounted Smart TV for relaxed mealtimes, all framed by windows looking out across the River Dart and the town beyond.

From here, the home leads naturally into the sitting room, where the mood becomes softer and more intimate, with an L-shaped sofa set before the windows, a window seat that invites quiet moments watching the river below, and a sloped ceiling and carpeted floor lending a cosy yet airy feel.

Beyond this, the conservatory creates a gentle link to the outdoors, with tiled flooring, leafy potted plants adding a touch of greenery and doors that open straight onto the patio, ideal for stepping outside with a chilled drink or dining alfresco in warmer weather.

When night falls, both bedrooms offer calm, light-filled spaces with soft carpets, welcoming lamps and soothing tones, complemented by river views that greet you each morning, while the king-size room adds a note of indulgence with its freestanding bath for long, luxurious soaks and the second double bedroom provides a serene place to refresh and unwind.

Just beyond the doorstep, Dartmouth Harbour is only a short walk away, where boats drift on the water, independent shops and galleries line the waterfront and the simple pleasure of fish and chips can be enjoyed as the gentle hum of the town surrounds you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bell Cottage.

All the rooms were light and airy, and the views were spectacular. We hope to return in the future. Two items need attention. Firstly, the fridge needs repairing, and secondly, the bed in the lower bedroom needs a new mattress with a suitable cover. At the moment the sheet is directly on the mattress.

Positive.

The view from the property is amazing. The bathrooms are nice. Negative. The house is very damp. There was no welcome pack for us when we arrived.

On first impressions the house is beautifully presented.

I would however like to highlight a few items that could improve the experience: 1. The fridge needs replacing. The shelf on the inside of the door is broken and is held on with tape. Looking at the condition of the white tape it has been like this for a while. We were only able to store one bottle of milk in the door and had to keep resticking the tape. Sometimes the door didn't seal properly which meant the back of the fridge froze up. 2. There were no instructions on how to dispose of the rubbish. We put the bin out for collection when we noticed other bins along the road had been put out and the previous week's rubbish was still in the bin. There were no obvious facilities for recycling. 3. The bed in the ground floor bedroom did not have a mattress cover on it but the other bed did and some of the pillows were without pillow liners and others had a pillow liner. Mattress covers and pillow liners would be preferable for hygiene reasons given that it is a holiday let. 4. We were unable to find a key for the conservatory door leading to the outside patio. Regards, Liz.
