“The location was great and everything at the cottage met our requirements and Dartmouth itself was wonderful”

- Dennis, October 2021
Susan September 2021

“This is our sixth year at Courtyard House, that means we like it.”

Accessible to a supermarket, restaurants, ideal for older people. Slight slope to climb but seems harder than it actually is but maybe not for the less able bodied.Any criticism or observation regarding facilities was corrected by the next visit. Spotlessly clean which is so important during Covid times. Hopefully will return 2022

- Susan, September 2021
Stewart September 2021

“From the moment we walked into the cottage we got the Wow Factor!”

We could not fault the cottage everything you needed fantastic. Very comfortable, great location with parking outside your door. Definitely one of the best Sykes cottages we have stayed in, looking forward to a return visit.

- Stewart, September 2021
Neil September 2021

“A really lovely cottage in a fantastic location and with free parking as well!”

The cottage is fantastically appointed and the decor, facilities and equipment supplied was faultless. Absolutely loved it and would definitely go back to stay here again

Justin July 2021

“Lovely cottage, excellent facilities- apart from the front door which caused some stress in the first 2 days when trying to lock it!”

! Recommend Bantham beach of all the beaches we visited

- Justin, July 2021
Helen July 2021

“This is a lovely holiday cottage in a really convenient location to the centre of Dartmouth.”

It is definitely one of the nicest cottages I've ever stayed in. The parking space is a huge bonus and whilst the access road is narrow, you soon get the hang of it and how to swing into the parking space! We had no problems with our saloon family-sized car (a large 4x4 might struggle a bit though...) I would not hesitate to recommend this cottage.

- Helen, July 2021
Rachael October 2020

“Possibly the cleanest and best equipped holiday cottage we’ve stayed in.”

The location is great, and having an allocated parking space right outside the door is a massive plus. Genuinely can’t think of a criticism or a suggestion on how this cottage might be improved. Would not hesitate to book again or recommend to friends. Thank you.

- Rachael, October 2020
Diane October 2020

“We enjoyed staying at Courtyard cottage .”

Richard September 2020

“Courtyard House was the perfect getaway for us in these difficult times.”

From the moment we got our keys and parked our car outside the cottage - wow! Parking in Dartmouth at any time is difficult so to have this was a real bonus. Everything was as expected and more. The owners have made a real home from home with a well equipped, well thought out living space on the ground floor and two, practical, stylish ensuite bedrooms on the floors above. It's an easy walk from Courtyard House to Dartmouth town centre and key side with all its attractions. There is an M&S food close by and plenty of pubs, restaurants and shops to suit all tastes. All in all a delightful stay in one of the best spots in Dartmouth.

- Richard, September 2020
Deborah September 2020

“Had a wonderful holiday in Dartmouth.”

Easy collection of keys. The cottage was beautiful. Fully equipped. Home from home with everything you would need. Easy walking distance into the centre of Dartmouth with restaurants and facilities nearby. Could not fault it. We also had wonderful weather all week which was a bonus. Would definitely go back to this property again.

- Deborah, September 2020
Jo August 2020

“It’s great this house comes with a parking space but as access is very narrow perhaps add in a caveat that larger cars may be more difficult to park at the property.”

This just gives people the heads up. Thanks.

- Jo, August 2020
Louise August 2020

“We had a wonderful relaxing week - the cottage was really well equipped, cosy and very comfortable.”

It was also reassuring to find it scrupulously clean during this unfortunate current climate.

- Louise, August 2020
D M December 2019

“The cottage was perfectly clean and the Christmas decorations and wine, coffee and tea left for us greatly appreciated and I have to say surprising.”

It was all very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

- D M, December 2019
Susan September 2019

“Fifth time at Courtyard so obviously love the place.”

Only criticism is that every year have found the duvets very heavy with no other choice. Also, as Dartmouth is expensive to eat out, there isn't enough smaller Pyrex type dishes to use in oven. Also it would be handy to have all the re.cycling information on display as we would like to help as much as possible but every County has its own procedures. On the positive side it is accessible to the town and its facilities and the office is handy for any personal enquiries. Because of the service we have received over the years we hope to spend many more years at Courtyard House.

- Susan, September 2019
Kevin September 2019

“Courtyard House is like a home from home, you have everything you need.”

The furnishings and fittings are of a very high standard. It's a lovely place to come home to after a day out. Everything went smoothly from the time of booking, staff so nice to deal with.

- Kevin, September 2019
Steven August 2019

“The extremely high standard of the property especially two bathrooms was an added bonus especially with teenagers.”

The only slight disappointment was the outside furniture is in need of replacement and to really exceed expectation maybe a small welcome pack of tea/coffee/biscuits and milk for when you first arrive.

- Steven, August 2019
Elizabeth July 2019

“Lovely comfortable cottage!”

Maybe advice customers to drive down to the property rather than up as incredibly narrow, Dart marina facilities an absolute plus, would definitely recommend the whole package! Thank you

- Elizabeth, July 2019
K June 2019

“This is a well equipped, comfortable and nicely furnished and decorated house.”

We found the bed comfy and the situation was quiet.In the master bedroom there is a really good sized wardrobe and a chest of drawers plus bedside tables, all with plenty of storage. The shower was good and both bathrooms well designed with everything you need. Parking is always a bonus in dartmouth so that was most welcome. The balcony was lovely to sit out on although maybe the furniture could be changed there as a little rusty and not too comfy to sit on (although there were seat pads) This was the only little complaint. It was nice to have tea/coffee and biscuits on arrival, however a small milk would be good as after a long journey a hot drink is most welcome. we would definately recommend this property.

- K, June 2019
Mr J Russell Jun 2019

“Had a lovely week here in Dartmouth.”

The Cottage was well equipped, in a great location and with the bonus of a parking space, and use of the pool at The Dart Marina Hotel and Spa was a definite plus ! Thank you.

Many thank's for your positive comments and feedback, we hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

Mr Gordon Higham Aug 2018

“Balcony outlook is a brick wall so didn’t use .”

Sofa in lounge is wicker material and more like garden or conservatory furniture very uncomfortable so sat on a bed instead ! £620 for what is in effect 3 1/2 days for 2 people very poor value and a lesson learnt for us !

- Mr Gordon Higham, Aug 2018

Many thanks for your feedback following your recent holiday, although it was disappointing to hear that the property did not meet your expectations and you felt misled by the images of the property. We do not mention any views in the description and feel that the property is accurately described on our website. Wherever possible, we try to find the most suitable property for our guests and if you had kindly contacted the team at the time of booking we would have been happy to have answered any questions you may have had in respect of the views or anything else. It was also disappointing to read that you felt this property did not offer value for money; compared to similar 4 star properties in the area we feel it is priced favourably. In addition, at the end of your stay a late check out was also offered as a goodwill gesture. Please contact us at any time to discuss our wide range of alternative 4 star properties in Dartmouth and the surrounding areas. We will be happy to help you choose a more suitable property for your next stay. Once again, many thanks for taking the time to leave your comments, we hope that you will book another holiday with us in the future. Property Owner

“Perfect holiday home for us, a family of four.”

No garden but nice balcony with table and 4 chairs for evening drinks. Parking very useful. Well furnished, very tasteful decor, as my wife said, a home from home. The Spa membership was an added bonus which we used every day.

- Rico, Jul 2016

“This our 4th time at Courtyard House.”

We really like it: great position with easy access into town and a parking space! Our only slightly negative comment is that the sofa needs a bit of re-plumping!

- , Feb 2015

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

Region Information

Please note that Clarence Hill is narrow with a 6' width restriction in place.

For reasons of safety and comfort children under 5 years of age are not permitted at this property.
