“Lovely apartment and very well situated.”

The double bed in the one bedroom was very lumpy and the shower over the bath was almost non existing regarding water flow. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. The car parking space was wonderful as Dartmouth was very busy every day.

“The location is ideal, really central and a bonus to have on site parking (if a little tricky at times depending on who is parked either side of the allocated space!”

). We were disappointed with the apartment - it's listed as 4 star and the price for a week in August reflected this, however compared to many other properties of this rating we have stayed in, it is more like a 3 star and felt overrated and overpriced. I agree with comments from other guests - main bed is really uncomfortable, bathrooms need updating including provision of proper shower facilities over the bath in the main bathroom and the kitchen needs some additional crockery and cutlery. We enjoyed our week, however won't return to this particular apartment.

“Our main issue with the property was with the main bed.”

The mattress needs replacing.You cannot move without the springs pinging - Didn’t sleep all week .

- Simon, August 2021

Many thanks for your feedback. We were surprised to hear that you found the mattress uncomfortable, we have not had any complaints of this nature since last year, after which the mattress was replaced by the owner. We hope you still had an enjoyable holiday and look forward to welcoming you back to the area soon. Sykes owner relations

“Everything was good but you need more mugs and cutlery because with four people ...”

Everything was good but you need more mugs and cutlery because with four people having cups of tea etc we needed to do a lot of washing up and had to wait until the evening to use the dishwasher you need at least 14 mugs and a lot more cutlery

“Place is generally OK but could do with a few things sorting, squeaky bed need updating, second bathroom needs a proper over bath shower with a screen, crockery, cutlery and glasses need review.”

car park space awkward to use as the white line to the right is behind a column.

- Philip, July 2021
Jennifer June 2021

“The flat was great and the bonus of having underground parking made it extra good.”

It is an ideal location right in the centre but , apart from the seagulls, not noisy. We couldn't fault it from any point of view and are already planning our next visit.

“As always, "did exactly what it said on the tin".”

Easy booking last year but no problem with transferring to this year due to Covid. Couldn't make it this year due to personal reasons but again, transfer to my daughter and son in law was handled extremely well with friendliness and professionalism. They had a great stay at a great property. We will all be back next year (Covid permitting!)

“En suite light switch not working correctly, no shelf or cabinet for toiletries, mirror far too low.”

Tumble dryer just heats wet clothes. Main bathroom no screen for shower over bath. Double bed mattress too low for frame, bruised legs when you sit on bed. TV in main bedroom found in closet- nowhere to put it in room. Two lights with blown bulbs 1 in kitchen 1 in living room.

- Annabel, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback after your recent stay at Freshford, 3 Dartmouth House. We have passed your comments on to the owner, who have said that they will look into the mattress and shower screen. Sorry to hear that there were light bulbs that needed replacing, if you had let us know during your stay, we would have rectified this for you. We have also checked the tumble dryer, and this is now working correctly. We hope that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back to Dartmouth. Sykes owner relations

“Excellent location.”

Parking space a particular benefit.

- Peter, September 2020
Christopher September 2020

“A really great location for a stay in Dartmouth but we were slightly disappointed on returning to the property for a second visit in 12 months this year as the property had deteriorated quite a lot since our last visit.”

The main bedrooms en suite had mould developing outside the shower cubicle and the vinyl flooring had lifted. Having reported the squeeking of one of the single beds in the second bedroom last year again we were very disappointed to find exactly the same problem this year.

- Christopher, September 2020
Caroline September 2020

“We have stayed in this block in Dartmouth several times before although this is our first time in this particular flat.”

The location is excellent, close to the shops and on the level. The parking is a bonus but the allocated space is rather tight for larger cars. It was evident that the caretaker was making sure everywhere was clean and sanitised. The flat is well equipped and very comfortable. Thank you for an enjoyable holiday.

- Caroline, September 2020
Christopher September 2019

“What a fabulous appartment to use as a base to explore Dartmouth and South Devon.”

Everything you could ask for in terms of comfortable furnishings, appliances and location. The underground secure parking is an added bonus. Two improvements we would suggest One of the single beds devloped a creak and whilst the maintenence engineer tried to fix it when we contacted the office it was not sble to be fixed. So to sort that out would be good Secondly we contacted Coast and Country to see if a hairdryer and iron / ironingboard were included in the property. We were told no but only to find when we arrived that both were in place and of good quality. VERY FRUSTRATING However other than these two observations would have no hesitation in recommending this property

- Christopher, September 2019
John & Freda October 2018

“Poorly equipped property compared with other properties in Dartmouth House that we've stayed in.”

Cleaning products almost non existent. No drawer space in bedroom 2, no surface space in master bedroom (nowhere to stand personal items). Bedside table window side not usable due to both drawers full of books. Couldn't t put cases in wardrobe as full of superfluous items. However there were THIRTY SIX COAT HANGERS!!!!! Will not book this property again. However would heartily recommend other Dartmouth House properties we've enjoyed.

“Excellent I like the basement car park well furnished near to Embankment restaurants shops”

- Mr Stewart Charlton, Jun 2018

We look forward to welcoming you back to this popular apartment, just a short, level walk from the River Dart and Dartmouth's shops, restaurants and art galleries. See you again in the very near future! Sykes owner relations

“Near to Embankment basement car park newly and nicely furnished”

- Mr STEWART Charlton, Oct 2017

“We like cooking in the place we stay.”

The kitchen only had the bare essentials. A few more dishes to cook things in in the oven would be great.

“Although there is no river view, it is very handy for the Embankment and everthing in Dartmouth and is very comfortable.”

- , Oct 2016

Thank you for your kind review regarding Freshford in Dartmouth. We do agree that this property is very convenient - less than 50 yards level walk from the Embankment and the River Dart. Dartmouth's specialist shops, art galleries, pubs and restaurants are also within an easy walk, as are the beautiful Royal Avenue Gardens. We can quite see why you choose to return to Freshford again and again! We look forward to seeing you in 2017! Sykes owner relations
DAVID Jul 2016

“We were very disappointed that this property was on your books, we have stayed at your properties in salcombe and they have been excellent.”

The carpets and sofas were grubby and worn and very uncomfortable. The windows were dirty as were the skirting boards and the tiles in the shower were black. It is very tired and needs updating. The position and the actual lay out of the property is excellent.

- DAVID, Jul 2016

Many thanks for your feedback although I am very disappointed to read your comments in respect of Freshford.
As you know this apartment is graded at 3 Star (as opposed to the 4 Star accommodation you have booked previously with us) and is, therefore, a little more simple/basic in terms of furniture and levels of comfort. However, all properties - regardless of standard - should be cleaned and presented appropriately and I am sorry that certain aspects were not as good as they should have been.
I understand that you had previously submitted feedback via our property questionnaire, and that many of the matters highlighted have been subsequently addressed - I also believe that the owner is considering some improvements through the Winter in a bid to improve the standard to 4 Star once again.
In conclusion if you wish to discuss some or all of these matters in more detail please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Regards

“Freshford is good but as in previous years we have had a problem with the channels on the TV.”

This TV really does need replacing as it is old , the problems with the channels , and it is far too small for the size of the apartment. Also the lack of broadband is an issue and as a result of these issues we will need to consider alternative accommodation.

“We have used this property for the last four years, it is in a prime central location and the apartment is clean and although some of the furnishing is looking a bit tired.”

It is still a good apartment and and a bonus having private parking.

“It's a nice airy, flat with a modern contemporary feel, in a very convenient location and the lift is a real plus when you have an elderly relative with you.”

The flat was clean and tidy, but was let down by the shower in the en-suite, which we didn't use in our previous visit and didn't like to use this time either. It really does need attention.

- , Jun 2015

Many thanks for your positive review regarding your recent stay at Freshford in Dartmouth. We were grateful for your feedback in respect of the en suite and we have arranged for a member of our property services team to check the shower during their next visit. Looking forward to welcoming you back to this beautiful part of south Devon very soon. Sykes owner relations

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.

Pets are not permitted and the property operates a strict no smoking policy. Central heating is gas fuelled. Wheelchair access for this property is particularly good as the development has a lift from the private underground car park.
