Whilst the accommodation was in an excellent location and the place was clean, we were disappointed, (having paid £522.00 for the week)for the following reasons: The toilet room and shower room are very very small. The toilet seat moved every time you sat on it. The hot water system is very antiquated. The Kitchen is tiny and could be better equipped especially the cutlery. The microwave needs replacing the button to open it is very temperamental River views were only possible if you stood up by the window and there were no cars in front of the wall.

The location of the property is second to none as just a very short walk down a hill into the town. The property itself is a little dated and could do with a bit of a spruce up but was adequate for our five night stay. It was warm and cosy and the use of the parking permit which was recommended by the owner made parking easy as the car park was only a short walk away. Would definitely recommend Bayards Cove for a meal and even for a coffee.

I have given this a 4 star rating but this is mainly due to the location of the property. It is so easy to get out and about from here and the car park pass was a must The host lives upstairs and is very helpful It could do with an update particularly in the shower which is like a cupboard and quite clastrophobic. Don't let this put you off though as the location cannot be beaten. Just round the corner from Bayard Cove which is my favourite spot

We (my wife, 3yo daughter and I) stayed here in June 2023 for a week and loved it. The cottage has two bedrooms, one with a double and one with two single beds.The cottage was clean, and had everything we needed, and was perfect for us. The location is brilliant, it is a 5 minute walk into Dartmouth if you head up river, and a 10 minute walk to Dartmouth castle if you go down river. We left our car in the car park all week, and traveled by walking, by boat and by steam train. It's a lovely, peaceful and beautiful place and we can't wait to go back

A lovely terraced cottage, largely constructed of old ship's timbers which gives it considerable charm. The fittings and furniture may not be ultra-modern but they do the job and the beds are extremely comfortable. The location is fantastic with a wonderful view across the Dart estuary and only five minutes' walk to the town centre. Yet it is also surprisingly quiet. Just a couple of points that should be incorporated into the property details. Firstly parking on the road outside is free but you only get two hours' worth between 9am and 6pm. So ample opportunity to drop your luggage off and park overnight. Secondly the property address is 7 South Town. South Town is a continuation of what starts at the bottom end as Newcomen Road. The numbers of the Newcomen Road houses end in the 30s and then immediately South Town starts at no.1 - so very confusing when you are coming up the hill and looking at the numbers to find the the property. We had a wonderful holiday and would like to thank Vrbo, the agent and the owners.

Really friendly owners who checked in on us when we arrived and showed us how to use the parking permit and let us know if we needed anything to let them know. Location is just above Baynards Cove and is 3-4 minute walk to the waterfront. Never had a problem parking outside the property on an evening where it is free to park after 6pm until 9am the next day. Would stay here again if visiting Dartmouth.
