About this cottage rental

Lily Cottage is a charming character home tucked away in a quiet corner but close to the town centre. This much-loved cottage is finished to an extremely high standard – from muted tones to the breezily nautical - and has a good-sized garden with rattan furniture. Lily Cottage is an easy, level walk into town and the riverside. Ideally set up for a romantic stay for a couple or for small family holidays – pets are welcome, too. A parking permit is provided for the nearby car park.


Accommodation:

The property is accessed via a small step approaching the front door. There is a hallway with room for coats and boots with access to the shower room with an electric shower, electrically heated towel rail, toilet and wash basin.

Through to the cosy living room with sofa and armchairs, Freesat TV, soundbar, a DVD player and Sonos Bluetooth speaker. Limed oak-effect floor, wooden plantation shutters, electric wood burner-effect fire and underfloor heating.

At the rear of the property is the galley kitchen, complete with an electric double oven, small fridge with freezer, built-in fan heater, painted dresser, butler sink and small dishwasher.

Four deep steps lead up from the kitchen into a bright and airy dining room with a vaulted ceiling. Again, with lime oak effect flooring with underfloor heating, dining table, seating for six, sideboard and a wood burner with cosy seating beside.

From the kitchen, there is a narrow staircase which takes you to the first floor, where you will find the two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed, built-in wardrobe, plantation shutters, limed effect floors and a freestanding electric radiator.

The second bedroom has a day bed that can be extended to make a double or twin. Again, with a built-in wardrobe and limed-effect floors.

Please be aware of the traditional nature of this old fisherman's cottage. A steep staircase may cause access issues for certain guests, and - being an old cottage - the ceiling heights and door frames are low.

There's underfloor and electric heating and a wood burner for comfort.


Outside:

Across the footpath from the front door, there is a fair-sized enclosed garden. A private space which is a lovely suntrap on a summer's afternoon. The rattan furniture is on a decked area, and past the deck is a further slate shingle area with mature shrubs.

It is possible to briefly park close to the cottage to unload.



Parking:

The car park pass provided is valid for the Mayors Avenue Car Park, a 2-minute walk away. The permit does not guarantee a parking space, and it can get very busy during the summer and special events, such as the Royal Regatta week (during which the car park is closed). The permit is also valid for the Park & Ride facility at the top of town.

House with character in a great location. Lack of parking space manageable and more than made up for by rest.

Arrived to find only two towel sets and bedding for three adults. Contact was through call Centre to pass messages on. Was told we should have advised them that we would not be sharing a double bed. No mention of this in booking details. We were emailed to say spare bedding and towel would not arrive until following day. This never happened. Turned up two days late. TV needed proper instructions and new batteries on remotes to operate. Smoke sensor batteries run down and beeping all night long. I think more attention to these details is must.

My husband and I booked a week away in Devon with our 9-month old Cavapoo. Having never taken the dog away before we were both a little anxious but we needn't have worried. Lily Cottage is perfectly located, with just short walk down to Dartmouth centre where there are so many restaurants and cafes to choose from (all of which allow dogs). It was a beautiful, cosy space to stay and I would highly recommend to others. The addition of the parking permit was hugely appreciated and meant we didn’t have to worry about where to park the car after returning from days out.

Nice, little quaint cottage tucked away. Customer service Outstanding. We wanted a log burner so that’s why we chose this cottage, but when we arrived the burner is actually in the dining room so this spoilt it for us as we wanted it in the lounge, but we still enjoyed our stay at the cottage.

Good location but car park was busy so if you went out you couldn’t always get a space on return which was frustrating. Lovely garden and comfortable cottage with good facilities but cleanliness was average with high level cobwebs and grime. Towel rail had had fuse removed and shower itself did not drain well otherwise everything was ok

Lovely little cottage

We had a lovely week at Lilly cottage. It is comfortable and only a few minutes walk into the town so the location is ideal. Just a few negatives that could easily be rectified. The fridge/freezer is so small that you have to do a daily shop (even when there are just the 2 of you) and we were unable to chill any drinks because of this. We were told there would be a welcome pack on arrival but unfortunately nothing was left for us. After driving for 7.5 hours a pint of milk in the fridge would have been a welcome find for sure. The garden requires some maintenance including replacing some rotten decking boards and the rattan garden table is also rotten/breaking up.

Fantastic location and in a very quiet little street. Parking permit for park and ride and mayors car park a god send. Unfortunately the property wasn’t clean, dusty floors, wrappers left from previous guests, dust everywhere. The bedding and towels felt damp. The fridge is very small for a week can hardly fit anything in and no washing machine to wash beach towels etc. Please be mindful when booking the landing is very small between bedrooms and a very steep drop outside of second bedroom if you loose your footing.
