Nookie Cottage

The positives, a well equipped fairly comfortable cottage.

An EV charger with an easy to use app. Good level position for town. Negatives, although we didn't need central heating with no extraction in the first floor shower room you do need a bit of heat and towel rail use with chilly mornings and evenings. The heating is controlled by a thermostat which has a flashing light when available to use. I noticed that some times it was not flashing and the heating could not be turned on. This happened frequently at the times you just want to use it, and on the Thursday it wasn't on all afternoon, evening and the Friday morning. Suspect the thermostat is remotely controlled or it has a serious problem? As someone else commented if the cottage next door leave the fan running on the top floor the noise is terrible, we could hear it on the first floor.

We have stayed here every year for the food festival for the last 5 years and we love Nookie Cottage, it is so cosy and well appointed and perfect for the town centre, the parking space is a bonus!

Would certainly stay here again.

Great location and parking a real bonus

Nookie Cottage provided an excellent location within Dartmouth for our family holiday.

The premises were great & well appointed, everything it said in it's advert. We would definitely stay there again !

Nookie Cottage was one of the best holiday cottage’s we have stayed in!

Especially for a dog friendly cottage! It was beautifully decorated and furnished, and so much thought and effort has been put into making it feel so homely and comfortable. The location was perfect, the parking space a real bonus, and the bed was really comfortable! Everything was perfect and we would highly recommended staying!

Another nice stay, thank you for the little extras, coffee pods and toilet paper.

Overall it is a lovely cottage.

I agree with the previous visitor that the insulation between the cottage and the one next door is not good. You could quite clearly hear them moving about and talking. The only other drawback is the difficulty of reaching the second floor accommodation. The staircase is extremely narrow and low. We are two older ladies and there was no way we could access the top floor. Perhaps that should be mentioned in the description. However we loved the cottage and all the additional welcoming touches and would certainly return.

Overall a charming property, but let down by serious noise issues The cottage itself was lovely—quirky, cosy, and just as we had expected based on the pictures.

It was clean, tidy, and the parking space was a real bonus. We genuinely enjoyed many aspects of our stay. However, we were extremely disappointed by the noise coming from the adjoining property (another holiday let). It seems likely that the building was originally one house and has since been split into two, as the sound insulation is virtually non-existent. From our bedroom, we could clearly hear every word of conversation, the extractor fan, and even toilet use from next door—the fan noise particularly loud in the attic double room. On our final night, the neighbouring guests left but unfortunately left their bathroom fan running, which continued throughout the night. This made it difficult not only for us but also for our children to get any decent sleep. We considered raising a complaint but felt there was little the host could do in the moment (considering its not the actual property but next door). That said, unless significant improvements are made to soundproofing, we would not stay again. It’s a real shame, as the property itself has a lot to offer—but restful sleep is essential, and unfortunately, this issue seriously impacted our experience and being half term it didn't come cheap nor leave feeling rested,

A gem of a cottage in the heart of Dartmouth.

Well equipped and very comfortable. We look forward to visiting again, thank you.

We had an amazing Christmas as Nookie Cottage.

The owners had decorated the cottage beautifully and there were some lovely unexpected touches. We did contact Sykes before arriving to ask if there was a Nespresso machine. They said no, but in fact there is one there which was a very pleasant find (morning coffee fix sorted). We saw some debates about the size of car that can fit on the small driveway. Well we managed to (carefully) park a Land Rover Discovery on it - so with a little care, and with next door also parking considerately it’s possible to get a decent sized vehicle on the drive (just!). Great location, very comfortable and extremely clean and well presented. We would definitely stay again.

This is our third year at Nookie Cottage and we love it, the location, the comfort and the parking space make it a perfect place for us to stay in Dartmouth

Lovely, comfy cottage and provided everything we needed.

Welcome pack of Prosecco, milk and shortbread was a nice, helpful treat. Only gripe which was out of your control was different people parked over the parking bay a few times, despite the notices. Sykes hols want customers to do everything for them via their website and it was difficult to get help over phone which was annoying.

Great cottage in fantastic position There was a pumping noise that lasted most of the night in the top bedroom but we soon got used to it.

Lovely cottage within easy walking distance of town centre.

Clean and tidy with all equipment available. Only one shower so if a extra could be fitted in top bathroom it would make a great improvement as just one shower is not enough for four adults. Parking is only for a small car and we had to park away from property. Another point is the mattresses could updated.We would recommend this place and would stay again.

A lovely stay at Nookie cottage with a great location, ease of access to town centre 400 meters away with a nice flat walk.

Cosy and comfortable, but as clearly stated, parking is only for a very small car and stairs to in the cottage to top floor are very steep with low head room, so care is to be taken. As always Dartmouth was lovely.

Fantastic holiday.

. can’t rate any higher . Tara

Lovely property well equipped, clean and comfortable as well as convenient location to central Dartmouth.

We absolutely loved this accommodation but the parking was a real problem.

We came thinking we could leave the car on the drive and forget all about it but this was not possible due to there being a car on next door’s drive. This meant we were unable to get ours on Nookie cottage’s drive. We played musical car parks all week which was costly and frustrating! The market square car park is free (and close by) but getting a space there is the hard bit. The park and ride is also an option but we didn’t like the thought of leaving the car so far away from nookie cottage. The cottage itself is gorgeous and has everything you could possibly want for the week stay (apart from enough toilet roll - pack some extra to last the week!). We will most likely return next year as we loved the cottage and it’s location but we will be bringing my mini so we can definitely fit on the driveway!

The cottage was lovely.

The parking space was a bit tight but we got our mid size car in the space. Excellent location, loved the shower. If I had one niggle the bed was a tad soft. All in all an excellent stay and will go back

Lovely cottage, centrally located and nice attention to detail.

Well equipped kitchen & even had sharp knives!! Loved the coffee/drinks station. You need to list stuff like the hairdryer & straighteners on the website & then I wouldn’t have packed my own. Nicely decorated & maintained and easy to use heating & hot water.

Very nicely presented cottage.

Small touches made the stay even better.

Lovely cottage in an ideal location.

Brilliant having a parking space as well. Would definitely recommend and would visit again.

A great location for exploring Dartmouth and the surrounding area

Beautiful property with everything you need and to a high standard In a perfect location if you need to be on flat level Would definitely recommend this cottage

Lovely old cottage couldn’t really fault anything had a fabulous holiday.

Parking space a bonus in Dartmouth no problems getting our car in it. Easy short walk into town. Top floor access not for everyone and as previously mentioned wouldn’t have wanted to be in the cottage with 4 adults fine for family.

Enjoyed our stay at nookie cottage excellent position for town and its amenities No seagull bag and no information on recycling enquired at coast and country office and were given conflicting answers from two staff at same time ?

Lovely, warm and cosy period cottage with traditional features but all modern conveniences, including Nespresso coffee machine.

Lovely quality crockery, cutlery etc and sharp kitchen knives, which are so often lacking. Comfortable bed. It was just two of us so we used the first floor bedroom and generously sized shower room, but there was another double and a single room on the second floor with a bathroom with a bath. Bed linen was good quality. Good access to internet and Smart TV apps and lovely, easy to use, gas fire to take the chill off when necessary. Appreciated the bottle of bubbly and initial supply of milk, tea bags, coffee capsules, dishwasher tablets and wash capsules (a second kitchen bin liner would have been useful). Like others we found the car park space tight, especially when the neighbouring space is occupied. My hatchback is described as compact by its manufacturer but at most it's small mid-sized, but it was a squeeze and you have to reverse in or you can't get out of the car. If we had been more than two plus a small dog and driven a larger car we wouldn't have been able to use the space. The ground floor area of the cottage is lovely, but again, we were only two and it would have been tight for space with 4 adults. Very easy walking distance of everything in town. We particularly liked the Dart Cafe as the dog was warmly welcomed. We drove to Brixham via the lower ferry, and went to Kingswear as foot passengers to ride the steam train and back. Easy access to the South Coast Path on a good day too.

Cosy cottage.

Good fire, comfortable sofa and only a short walk to the centre of Dartmouth. Spacious bathroom on the first floor. Second double bedroom is small. The floor in the main bedroom slopes so it would be good to put something under the bed to level the bed. You can hear the neighbours walking about next door. We thought it was a nice little cottage.

A very cosy and comfortable cottage in a great location.

Easy walking distance to the centre of Dartmouth and all flat. Parking space was so convenient, we hardly used the car (small space ideal for smaller cars). Would certainly use this cottage again.

Lovely cottage and very comfortable.

Well situated for walking into town. Top floor room not for taller people - mind your head! Otherwise excellent.

Lovely little cottage in a great location and the added bonus of a car parking space.

Everything you could think of was provided. The beds were very comfortable which is important to us. It was also lovely and warm as we stayed during February

Excellent location bonus having car parking space.

Very tastefully decorated lovely crockery and furnishings.

Nookie Cottage is a 5 star, beautifully decorated, cosy cottage, everything has been well thought out & the cottage is fabulously equipped - wonderfully clean & tidy.

Perfect location for all bars, restaurants & the river. Parking space was highly appreciated. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous cosy cottage, thank you for the welcome gifts.

Very well furnished, fab location, lovely walks. Did the tour of the Naval College, very interesting. Will definitely be back and recommending to others. Gary & Linda Young

We know Dartmouth and the area well, and holiday in the area each year.

Nookie Cottage is the most comfortable cottage we have had the pleasure to stay in. Thank you very much for all the little extras, the prosecco was lovely. The sofa was extremely comfortable and we love the basin in the shower room ! had a fabulous time thank you.

We know Dartmouth very well from when we first met here, regatta week in 1983 !

I came here every year as a child. We love the cottage and all the fabulous touches ! It is the best equipped cottage we have stayed in. Thank you for the festive treats, most appreciated, we will definitely return.
