We’ve just come home after a fantastic week at the lovely Garden Cottage, which really delivered on every front. The cottage is incredibly well presented, and has everything you need to enjoy a relaxed stay. The garden is beautiful and clearly someone’s pride and joy. However the highlight for me was the view from the loo( and master bedroom, and lounge…) which was the constant reminder that we were staying somewhere really special. The location was perfect for us, and we really made the most of both the quick stroll into the centre and the easy access to Jawbones, where the dog could stretch his legs whilst we took in the amazing view. Whilst we enjoyed the climbs up the hill it would be too much for some, especially as parking is a bit of a lottery.

Just returned from a fabulous week at Garden Cottage, Dartmouth. The location was great, no issues with parking as visited out of season. The garden and views from garden were amazing. The house itself was lovely the only note would be the smell of damp in the downstairs area; 3rd bedroom and bathroom. We will look to return.

very good cottage, in great location with fine views ,the garden was fantastic, all enclosed which was great for the dogs

Pros: -Good Central location -Beautiful, well kept garden -Good views -Good shower and bath Cons: - The property should not have been advertised as sleeping 5 people it was a 4 person property. The 3rd bedroom was constantly damp, mould on the walls and smelly so we were unable to use it. In our opinion it should have been a utility/boot room as it was not a suitable sleeping space. The duvet in that bedroom felt damp all week. -The property is no good for people with any mobility issues due to the elevated position and the steps. -Parking is difficult so we didnt use the car much - A dishwasher would have been good as on holiday you dont want to spend all the time washing up!

Fantastic cottage, plenty of room, stunning views from stunning garden, only downside was parking, nightmare walk up jawbone hill

A very comfortable cottage with a lovely Garden up a very steep hill !! You never get use to walking up the hill or the many steps in Dartmouth however not having to use the car to walk into town or explore the surrounding areas is a real bonus. Once you have unloaded the car and parked your holiday can begin. The garden was a real surprise with lots of small sitting areas and so well kept. The four of us & the dog enjoyed our week so Thank you very much.

Wonderful property and garden, for us to spend as a family of 4, something a little special to celebrate 2 birthdays over the Christmas and New Year period, with the restrictions of 2020 it was ideal. We love the beach all times of the year and they did not disappoint! Thank you, would love to return and see Dartmouth in summer.

Great location for exploring Dartmouth, lovely garden, cosy and comfortable throughout ,super views.

Four magnificent days at the end of September and a couple with wind and rain in October. A lovely, well equipped, warm and comfortable house on a steep hill in central Dartmouth. Gorgeous, tiered garden, well cared for by owners. This is a very presentable holiday house possessing a genuine feel of home from home. We loved it.

A lovely cottage with a beautiful garden. The views are wonderful and it is very comfortable and has everything you need. I would say it was a two bedroom cottage, not a three bedroom as the third one is essentially underground. A parking permit would have been good to have.

We stayed at this cottage over the Christmas week just passed and had an excellent time. The cottage itself is very well equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We felt immediately at home here, particularly as it is so homely. The cottage is only a very short walk from the amenities in town and the steep hill gives it commanding views over the town and estuary. Adrian, the owner, is incredibly helpful and an absolute mine of information - he very kindly checked local restaurants for availability and gave some great ideas for dog walks too. All in all, a brilliant experience which we hope to repeat very soon.

We had the most perfect stay at The Garden Cottage - it really was like being home from home comfort-wise, and beautifully presented and appointed throughout. The main bedroom on the 2nd floor was a particular highlight with wonderful views across the Dart River to Kingswear, as was the garden itself, which was remarkably private and sheltered, with several places to sit and relax. The living room was very comfortable and the internet TV and fast broadband speed were greatly appreciated by our two daughters (16 & 11). With a 5 minute walk down the (very steep) Crowther’s Hill to the town, the cottage’s location was extremely convenient, but also felt sufficiently remote to be a quiet refuge when required. Towels and bed linen were changed after a week and instructions for the cottage and information about Dartmouth was very comprehensive. The only slight frustration was the parking on Jawbones Hill (or lack of, possibly due to it being high season) at the top of the road. We were advised by one of the Crowther’s Hill residents that part of the problem is that boat owners frequently leave their cars on the road and go away sailing for weeks or even months at a time, which significantly reduces the amount of available spaces, and on most days there were no spaces at all. However we decided to chance it and parked on the double yellow lines at the top of Crowther’s Hill most days during our stay and fortunately never got a ticket. The positive from parking the car up here however was that we could always head up and out of the town or to Sainsbury’s via Waterpool Road, rather than having to go into the town and round the one way system.

Garden cottage is perfectly situated. The cottage has a beautiful garden, is very comfortable and has everything you need.

Everything was great about our holiday cottage though the view came with one downside. It was on a very steep hill where walking, driving and parking was very difficult for us, being a couple in our seventies. It was helpful to have a car park permit given to us by the booking agents, though this wasn’t offered, we had to request it.
