"We had a perfect week at our stay here."
It is very comfortable and the view from the balcony is second to none. We are a small family and this property was located brilliantly for us to access all the local amenities and attractions. It’s not too much of a trek to the property up the hill which was important for us with a pushchair. There are steps down to the property from the main road however we found we negotiated these with reasonable ease.
Immaculate, not over furnished with breakables (always a bonus with kids around) and really a lovely place to spend our down time!
We will definitely be back!

"We really enjoy staying at Ferry View, and have done so several times since 2017."
The location is fabulous and the apartment is very relaxing to spend time in. Everywhere is also spotlessly clean.
Normally I prefer to discuss any problems with the company rather than write something negative in the review, and I did so last year regarding the mattress in the main bedroom, hoping something would be done about it. It was in a poor condition when we first stayed seven years ago, and now it's like sleeping on plastic crates. After two nights, we had to move into the twin room because it was impossible to get a good night's sleep.

"We really love coming to this property, it's a great location and a clean property with good amenities."
It was our second visit and we hope to book again next year to visit Dartmouth. Our only complaint is that the master bed is so uncomfortable, we chose on a couple of nights to use the single beds as the bed is lumpy and hard. I did note that another review a year ago had also complained about the bed. So please make it a 10/10 by updating the bed, it would make such a difference having a comfortable nights sleep. Apart from that it's perfect.

"For several years Ferry View was our go-to property in Dartmouth but it had become a little tired, so we went elsewhere."
This was our first time back since its mini refurb and it’s certainly improved in some aspects. However, on arrival we were disappointed to note that the patio off the kitchen was in a dreadful state and obviously hadn’t been cleaned for quite some time. The next morning I rang Sykes and asked for it to be sorted. To cut a long story short, despite a very prompt response from the company, the problem was not dealt with - apparently a specialist clean would need to be booked in advance - and consequently we were unable to make use of this pleasant little sun trap. Added to this, the twin room en-suite shower cabinet requires some work to remove mouldy silicon and the anti-slip bath mat was so grotty we hid it from sight. The apartment itself was generally very well cleaned and presented, though some guidance about how to find the ‘hidden’ cutlery drawer would have been appreciated - a sticky label on the front would do the trick. The instructions re the rubbish disposal also caused some confusion as there were contradictory notices attached to the fridge. Come on Sykes, get your finger out and make this apartment as good as it should be,

"We had a great stay."
The apartment has an amazing view of the river and is well equipped with modern, comfortable furnishings. The weather was a bit mixed and this meant we had to stay in a little more than normal, but we had a nice big TV with Netflix so was no problem. The apartment is in a fantastic location and Dartmouth is beautiful - we would recommend the round robin boat and steam train trip and a walk to Blackpool Sands - stop off at the Castle and get the bus back - amazing views all the way!

"Ferry View has had a lovely upgrade since we were last there, with a new kitchen, balcony and furnishings."
It has always been our favourite place to stay in Dartmouth.
The improvements are perfect, although the sofa is a little small in the lounge. Hopefully the master bed will be next for an upgrade as it is a little lumpy which gets tiresome after a couple of nights.
It's still a lovely and relaxing place to stay though, with a perfect view of the river and across to Kingswear. It is a great location for visiting Dartmouth and feels like home from home after so many visits.

The only very minor issue we had was with the water which on a couple of occasions failed to run, as in, no water from the taps. This would not prevent me from booking this property again.

"A wonderful week spent at Ferry View."
The view from the balcony in the lounge is great and certainly kept our 1 year old entertained watching all the boats on the river! It’s a really spacious apartment with less than a 5 min walk into the town centre. Our only criticism would be the mattress in the master bedroom is quite uncomfortable, feels like it needs replacing. Couldn’t recommend this property enough, we’ll definitely be returning.

"As always we had a lovely holiday staying at Ferry View and we were pleased that the standard hasn't slipped from the previous owners."
Spotlessly clean, well-stocked kitchen and lovely furnishings etc. We could have done with an oven glove as I had to use a towel which got a bit marked. Other than that, we loved it as usual and have booked for next year.

"Whilst the apartment itself was good and well positioned we were disappointed with what was provided:
1 toilet roll per toilet
3 dishwasher tablets
1 spare bin bag
No toilet cleaner
If this is ‘company policy’ then you should let people know in advance so that they can come prepared."
Also it was extremely cold on arrival and the heating instructions were not easy to follow
We have rented many apartments and cottages over the years and have never had to raise such issues before

"Lovely property, good location and great view."
Very spacious and well equipped. There are uneven steps to negotiate so beware of that but we planned what we needed for the day to avoid too many trips up and down. Parking on the street was ok off season but is at a premium in Dartmouth. Car park permit is a 10 minute walk away.

"A very comfortable and cosy apartment with lovely views across the river."
The apartment was well equipped and lacked for nothing. The sofa and the beds we’re comfortable and the whole place was spotless. The car parking was a fair way from the building (near the higher ferry). This wasn’t an issue for us as we didn’t have any rain but would have be an issue if we had. It was difficult to find a space on the road to load/unload - in January it wasn’t a problem but during busy periods it might be more difficult.
The steps down to the property are steep and uneven so may prove a challenge to some people.
That said it was great to be so close to town, but it was still peaceful and relaxing.
