7 Dart Marina

The location and the style of the apartment suit us perfectly.

The apartment was well cleaned, as always and comfortable. The coast and country team in Dartmouth are delightful and it made a difference not having to deal with the remote Sykes office this year. Having some heat in the kitchen made things more comfortable on colder days. A coat of paint would give the place a lift, as would a bit of attention to the sofa covers, which are clean but getting a little tired. The mattress on the double is extremely hard, so some sleepers might like it but it won’t be to everyone’s taste.

This was our fifth visit to this lovely property, which we always enjoy, our only comment on this occasion is that we found the sofas to not be as comfortable as before.

Obviously they are subject to a lot of use, but unfortunately it might make us think twice about booking this lovely apartment again.

This is the 2nd stay for us at No 7, we have stayed in other properties in Dart Marina but this is our favourite and we have booked again for next year.

We find it a comfortable apartment with a couple of niggles. The window in the main bedroom is still not fixed, as it get the sun most of the day we keep the curtains pulled to keep it cool. Also the pillows are very soft and could do with being renewed On this visit we find no welcome pack, which is annoying as you have been expecting the same as your last visit and pack accordingly

A lovely property with stunning views , light and beautifully furnished.

Parking right outside Good showers Couldn’t work out how to use the extractors in the bathrooms though which were needed. A coffee machine would be a welcome addition Would definitely stay again

We can't stop praising this wonderful apartment 7 Dart Marina, Thoroughly enjoyable stay, we will definitely be back.

A wonderful property which we thoroughly enjoyed visiting.

This year was our third successive visit. The only comment I would make is concerning the bedding. In summertime when it is particularly warm then a lightweight summer duvet would be a good addition. Likewise, the pillows were extremely soft with no support for the head and neck, which did result in some discomfort.

This was our first booking at no 7 although we have stayed at other apartments in Dart Marina.

We found the apartment very comfortable and well equipped for our stay, we especially enjoyed the fact we could open all the windows in the lounge as we were lucky to have lovely weather. We have booked to visit again later this year and next year

We’ve stayed at several of the Dart Marina apartments and this was our second stay at No.

7: we returned because it has everything you’d want for an enjoyable week away. Comfortable and very well equipped, spotlessly clean, and with beautiful river views that are undoubtedly the big draw for us. The parking space right outside is excellent, given how difficult and costly it can be to park in Dartmouth! Our only small niggles are that one of the master bedroom windows still says it’s not to be opened (it was like that a year ago); the bedrooms get really warm with hours of direct sunlight so they’d definitely benefit from blinds like apartments above and below have (and it would improve privacy); and a 4-slot toaster would make breakfast less of a relay event! But these small issues didn’t stop us from returning and we greatly enjoyed our stay.

The local office of Coast and Country and the cleaners are all excellent and always have been.

Sykes however are dreadful, totally remote and only taking money; there is no connection "empathy" whatsoever with the property, location, or residents. Any communication is complicated, it regularly fails between Sykes' call centre in the North of England and the local C&C office. And though the apartment has always been a high quality place to stay, the standard of consumable supplies is appalling and well short of expectation. Every AirBnB we've stayed in, has been stacked with additional toilet rolls, bin liners, dishwasher tablets, etc etc that you don't expect to have to bring on holiday to a short term rental. Sykes supply the absolute minimum to last through a few days, really poor and lowers the whole tone of the booking for the cost of a few bin liners.

This is a lovely apartment in a wonderful position.

The ability to fold back the windows in the light and airy lounge is a major benefit. The kitchen is also extremely well equipped, except for standard wine glasses. We are oenophiles and believe that you need good glasses to appreciate good wine - we went and bought some. Our guests were fine with their beds, but we found the bed in the main bedroom far too hard for our liking. Also, the fans in the bathrooms don't work. However, these niggles were outweighed by the many good points.

We love it here and would happily come again.

This is our second visit as we were at 7 Dart Marina last year. The only comments I would make this year are that we were slightly disappointed with the maintenance. The door trim was obviously missing from the refrigerator which did look rather neglected. Secondly, the supply of wine glasses was rather limited with an assortment of different sizes. We had some friends round to join us for dinner one evening and this proved to be a little problematic. Thirdly, the duvets were a little too warm for the season which made sleeping a little difficult. Aside from this we had, once again, a most enjoyable stay. I mention these items because as we pay a high amount for the property then one does expect things to be well maintained and the clients comfort taken care of. We will, however, gladly book the property again.

I have booked these apartments many times, and this is the third time I have booked one through Coast and Country.

This apartment No 7 is excellent for comfort and convenience. Parking right outside door, such a joy in Dartmouth. I suppose the days of booking privately are more or less gone, but I do miss the bottle of wine, chocolates or cookies and milk left by the owners. I am now used to the offering from the letting agencies so bring all necessary groceries with me. I know that there is a small supply of tea and coffee making facilities. The staff in the office in Dartmouth are lovely and the cleanliness of No 7 cannot be better, so all in all would recommend this apartment to anyone, and will definitely be back!

This was our second stay at no.

7, and it was just as lovely as last year, hence we’ve already booked again for next year!

OUR THIRD STAY IN NUMBER 7 AND WE’VE BOOK FOR NEXT APRIL, WE LOVE IT.

THE BEST TABLE IN DARTMOUTH TO EAT YOUR EVENING MEAL. OUR HAPPY PLACE.

Beautiful spacious apartment with amazing views.

Clean and well-equipped. Ideal location to walk into Dartmouth, which is lovely, and to explore the surrounding area, where there is plenty to see and do. We would definitely recommend.

Beautifully furnished apartment with superb views.

We loved our stay here and have already booked again for next year. Th only thing missing was the Nespresso coffee machine! we took our own! Not a complaint, just an observation. My Naval Architect Son, whom joined us for a couple of days, complained that we had not taken the small Nespresso cups. He was threatened with being charged £300 per night for his room, together with dinner at The Seahorse restaurant. He then promptly declared that the views were paradise, much to our amusement. Hence the write-up in the Guest Book.

Our holiday was amazing, could not ask for a nicer apartment or location.

One word FABULOUS .

Very clean,wonderful facilities,and an amazing view. We will go again.

The apartment and view is fabulous, we have stayed here before.

However it is let down by very basic appliances in the kitchen and some basic things missing from the kitchen. However, the main reason I won’t be booking this property again is the mattress in the master bedroom. It’s like sleeping on wood, extremely firm. It woke me up in the night with such terrible back pain I had to move into the twin room which was slightly better. It’s a real shame but a good night sleep is a priority for me so I won’t be booking again unfortunately.

Lovely clean warm and comfortable apartment, especially liked the super king bed just like home, made for good night's sleep!

We have booked again for next year already.

I was a little concerned reading the last posted review regarding 7 Dart Marina.

As I was travelling with my 90 year old father, good lighting and heating were essential and these, along with easy access, were essential for a safe trip. Sykes staff were so helpful and reassuring at booking. This property did not disappoint in any way. It is in a fantastic location, easy parking with lift access, quality furnishings, warmth and light and views to die for. It is ideal for anyone with mobility challenges. One or two minor queries were dealt with easily at the local Coast and Country offices where the staff were more than helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend this luxury apartment to anyone.

We like No7 location and furnishings but there are an increasing number of problems with electrics, none of which every get resolved: bathroom floors not heating, no heating in the kitchen, poor lighting in the kitchen: under-cupboard lights not working and poor lighting on work-surfaces: ceiling lights cast shadow.

Curtains in main bedroom intermittent failure to close. We have never liked the impact of Sykes on Coast and Country. The Staff in Dartmouth are generally very pleasant and helpful but dealing with a remote call centre is a pain in the neck and the additional burden of dealing with it removes pleasure from the experience. The content of basics in Sykes accommodation (not just 7) is extremely poor compared to that found in AirBnB rentals that we have used. Towels are old and rough, and there is a totally inadequate supply of basic essentials: toilet rolls, dishwasher capsules, oven gloves (who cooks without them !?!), it's unbelievably stingy for the type of rental accommodation and the price.

The view is amazing, takes your breath away & put a huge smile on our faces as soon as we walked in.

We spent hours watching the river & the higher ferry. The apartment was spotlessly clean, well laid out & furnished, perfect location for a short, flat walk into town, and the parking space right outside the building was much appreciated. We arrived very late on Friday evening, but key collection was easy from a lock box in town. Small improvements would be to provide oven trays in the kitchen & to consider a less firm mattress on the king size bed. We are already looking for when we can come back.

Fabulous property in Dartmouth, in fact we’ve already booked again for next year!

Would mention that the hinge on shower door in en-suite needs attention as it is extremely difficult to close once in the shower, resulting in water escaping on to step to bathroom floor creating a potential slip hazard, otherwise perfect, can’t wait to return!

We have stayed in this apartment before and thoroughly enjoyed both visits.

It is stunning - very roomy with amazing views. Everything major is excellent. Being very picky we thought that the wine glasses are poor. Wine always tastes better in good quality thin glasses - if we booked again, we would take our own, as well as our own corkscrew. Same applies to the mugs.

Excellent apartment, very spacious well equipped, comfortable clean and tidy with spectacular views.

Just everything you need for a refreshing and relaxing break. Can’t wait to return next year.

Our second time in this property all be it the last time was 5/6 years ago.

Just as good as before and we liked it that much we have already booked for next September. We have stayed in many rentals and my wife commented that this was the cleanest of any she has known.

We loved it all, a fantastic view with those bifold windows.

Immaculately clean throughout. We would love to come back soon. Thank you

A beautiful apartment in the perfect location.

Very comfortable and peaceful. Tips for Sykes Cottages: 1. Three dishwasher tablets for a weeks stay is ridiculous. When queried we were told “you are self catering, so we only provide a started pack”. We were provided with more when we asked for some. 2. The fridge door needs oiling. 3. The shower door in the en suite needs new hinges. We did ask for someone to look at it but it wasn’t much better after the repair. 4. You need to update your instructions for stripping beds etc as this is now not required, but the guide still tells you to do it.

Wonderful holiday,office staff excellent.

not a single thing to complain about. I would have liked a Nespresso coffee machine.thats all I can think to suggest that could have improved our holiday.

We have stayed at no 7 before, returned due to its great location and the view.

Great bathrooms and room sizes, the only slight negative for us is that we find the beds too firm for a comfortable night's sleep, and perhaps for the cost of staying here you might expect Sky TV?

Absolutely beautiful property in a stunning location.

Can’t wait to go back there. One very small thing; it would be nice to have a TV in the second bedroom. Other than that, faultless!!

Excellent property.

Only one comment, it would be useful to have all the instructions for the different appliances and systems put into into just one folder and for the tv instructions to be more clear.

No.

7, Dart Marina is a perfectly positioned, well maintained apartment with wonderful uninterrupted views across the River Dart. The Kitchen is reasonably well stocked with cutlery and crockery. There’s a good sized integrated fridge freezer, useful washer/dryer, dishwasher and hob/oven. The large ‘mains-pressure’ hot water cylinder has the capacity to supply lots of hot water to enjoy the oversized baths. The central heating works well and the furnishings are thoughtfully deployed to create a relaxing, classy feeling. The highlight is surely the lounge with its full length bifold windows. Sitting at the dining table for breakfast with the river view is superb. Even on a dreary, overcast day of drizzle it’s a nice place to be - glance up as the Higher Ferry quietly traverses the river, the navy cadets are being trained in their little naval ships or a yacht sails past. We also had the pleasure of seeing the steam loco hauled ‘train of lights’ just before New Year on the far bank of the river. The technology was easy for us to use - wifi, smart TV or built in sound system with Bluetooth connectivity to our own iPad music library (although we noted that the speakers / control units in the ensuite and kitchen do not function, the latter being mentioned in the information pack). Beds were comfortable and the fluffy white towels were of a luxury hotel standard. The apartment is a relatively short and pleasant walk from the town centre, unbelievably quiet given its central location and comes with a precious allocated car parking space right outside. Main entrance is spotless as is the lift, making access with luggage so easy. It’s clear from reading past guest reviews that earlier feedback has been noted and action taken in response to suggestions etc. So in the same constructive spirit then… the top, flat brushed stainless steel surface of the cooker hood needs to be cleaned after every guest leaves. With me being just under 6ft tall it’s obvious because it’s at about my eye level. If your cleaning team are a somewhat less tall then they may not be noticing the build up of dust and light grease. Otherwise though the apartment is spotless. We loved our eleven night stay and would return. It isn’t cheap but does deliver for the money - what price for an apartment that helps make the most of precious time with the family? Since these apartments are being sold for around £1m the weekly rental seems about right. To the owner and the team managing the apartment - thank you. An excellent example of what high quality holiday accommodation in the U.K. should offer in support of a wonderful break on the south Devon coast.

Absolutely fantastic apartment,,, well equipped, very comfy and clean.

The view of the River Dart is amazing and we stayed in just watching the world go by a good deal of the time. The most fantastic Christmas ever. Thank you for the complimentary gifts on arrival.

A beautiful apartment in a fantastic location with wonderful views of the river, marina and the higher ferry, definitely recommend and will return.

Fantastic luxury apartment in an excellent location , right in the river Dart in pretty Dartmouth.

We had a fabulous time. Loads to and do, but also, on a particularly rainy day, also lovely to stay in the luxury of this lovely apartment

sofas were TOO SOFT !

!

Did not like the coast and country instructions which appeared to make us responsible for everything literally could be interpreted we were responsible for the cleaning " leave everything as you found it".

We were paying nearly £300 per night. We fully appreciated that because of Covid the towels and bedding needed to be put into bags. Had it not been for this and the wi-fi not working it would have been given 5 stars. It was a beautiful apartment overlooking the marina and all the river activities and yes we would book it again if it was available

This is a stunning apartment with superb views across the River Dart.

It is our second visit.

A truly superb apartment in a stunning location.

We have stayed in many holiday cottages in the last 30 years but this is, without exception, the very best. Sitting at the dining table with the large windows fully open for a meal is an amazing experience. The life of a busy holiday river is all in front of you. We will certainly return to 7 Dart Marina.

7 Dart Marina is a fantastic apartment with a beautiful view of the river Dart, the steam railway and Kingswear.

The apartment has a high specification and is extremely well equipped. We had a wonderful week as a family in Dartmouth and would recommend staying at this property

Only one toilet roll provided in each bathroom TV operating control system was overly complicated for easy reliable operation The view was fantastic The bi folding windows which could be opened up were stunning

Good morning We have stayed at four different Dart Marina cottages over the last couple of years and this is now our first choice, the only disappointment was no TV in the second bedroom whereas the other three apartments had TVs in the second bedroom too, otherwise an excellent stay.

Thank you.

Second time we have stayed in 7 Dart Marina. Always clean and well specified, Has added bonus of being close to the Floating Bridge pub and restaurant

Super apartment , well equipped, great views

The apartment was fabulous, well situated for Dartmouth close to the shops but lovely & quiet. Beautifully presented, warm and comfortable fantastic views of the Dart, always something to watch. Ideal with it's own parking space.

Excellent

I have stayed in several properties in Dart Marina, and No.7 is my favourite. It is well supplied, well maintained and well looked after. Parking is immediately outside. The view is magical. There is a lift up to the front door. Lift takes normal width wheelchair. Doorways are wide. There are rugs on top of the wooden floor. Bedrooms have carpet. The en-suite shower has steps up into it as you will see in the photo online. The double bed is firm but comfortable. The single beds are soft and suit me fine. Good quality linen. Only downside is the price. My word is it expensive!

Lovely flat. Bedding and especially pillows excellent. I have a back neck and bring my own pillow but didn't need to use it. Crockery - not as much supplied as in previous holiday places - would have liked some breakfast bowls.

A superb apartment in a wonderful position with all the facilities and features as described. We had a wonderful holiday.

Very well presented, loved the way the windows on the internal balcony pulled right back so you felt you were outside but safe and protected from the wind. Top of the range equipment throughout - loved the sound system wired to every room; and at the same time really comfortable and with the easy access lift, and parking right outside, no problems for infirm guests. Incredible views across the marina and watching the boats, the ferry and the steam engine were all very soothing - a great tonic for destressing.

Great apartment. Good location.

It was just like moving into someone's home. Beautiful decor and furnishings and a view to die for. The internal balcony made it feel like you were sitting on the river bank - even in October. Luxury all round from the surround sound radio in all rooms, bathrooms included, and electric curtains

The apartment was very well equipped except for the saucepans which were very poor quality and looked dirty, to the point where we did not want to use them. This is the third apartment we have stayed in at Dart Marina and we have not had this problem before.

Amazing view from this first floor flat. Well appointed and roomy - lovely big sofa. Car parking space right outside the door. The large king size bed is firm but comfortable. The twin beds have much more give but are still supportive - and are my favourites. There is a lift up to the flat, and all door ways are wide enough for a wheelchair. The satellite TV is a tad confusing, but there are instructions. This is my favourite apartment in Dart Marina - because of the view and also because of the decent beds. I cannot abide beds with solid bases and hard mattresses - it is such a false economy. Am hoping to return soon.

We found it very good as before, and enjoyed all the amenities nearby. Dartmouth is a fascinating place to stay with always something to do. Great shops nearby and always somewhere different to eat out in or bring back to eat in.

Perfect property, we shall return to Dartmouth again very soon

Very well presented apartment. Comfortable and clean with everything we needed except a slip mat for the bath and shower. Most properties I stay in have these in all showers and baths,I feel more confident if there is one.

Excellent

Superb views, lovely quality apartment with nearly everything you could desire!

Wonderful apartment with amazing views over the marina and River Dart and just a short walk into the centre of Dartmouth. Excellent facilities within the apartment, good standard of decoration. One problem we did experience was when using the Swimming Pool within the complex - it was so busy we had to wait for an hour and a half before we could gain entry, and then when we were able to go in there were a lot of young children who were not being supervised sufficiently. We didn't bother trying to use the facility again during our stay.

We have yet to sample this apartment, but are impressed with the lovely site so are going back again.....3rd time!

found the tv difficult to get used to.a minor problem will go again

The apartment was very clean with well designed room layouts and lovely views. However, for a 5 star rated property we would have expected there to be more in the way of crockery and cutlery in the kitchen eg the cereal bowls were plastic and were more suited to a picnic on the beach than a 5 star holiday home. Also, there were no decent knives - no bread knife etc.
