"A wonderful stay in this warm, comfortable and well-equipped property."
The views from the double bedrooms and the snug are stunning. The location is fantastic with shops, restaurants and the beautiful river only a couple of minutes’ walk away.

"Very comfortable cottage with fantastic views from many rooms."
Incredibly well equipped and well heated with efficient plumbing. Choice between relaxing in snug at top of the house or kitchen/dinner with adjacent mini garden on ground floor made for very flexible socialising for mixed age groups or joint parties. Yes, there is the hill and two flights of stairs, but definitely worth it.

"The house was tremendous and exceeded our expectations, it is well fitted out with excellent equipment and with nice art etc."
Quality was high and particularly enjoyed the snug and felt it very thoughtful that there was a kettle and crockery there. The location was excellent being close to the town, but very quiet. It was noticeable that our fitness improved over the week as we climbed the hill to the house!!

"If you want possibly the best views over Dartmouth then I think you will struggle to find anywhere better than Onedin House."
However it comes at a price and that is Onedin House is located on a very steep hill. Maybe not a good choice if you have any issues with mobility.
Loading and unloading the car is interesting as you have to park on the single track hill, while trying not to hold the traffic up to much.
Our party consisted of two adults and our two sons aged 6 & 7 the set up worked perfectly for us,
The property is well kitted out with all the basics that you need and the two bathrooms make life abit easier
The kitchen and garden are all on the ground floor, the first floor is accessed by a steep stair case, here you will find two bedrooms, one as a double and the other as two singles there is also a bathroom on this floor.
Accessed again by a steep stair case is the 2nd floor, here is where you find the spacious master bedroom with excellent views, you can lay in bed and watch the lower ferry go about it's business. There is also a very large bathroom on this floor.
Now to our favourite room The snug at the top of the house (another staircase) but this room has French doors that open onto a small balcony, from here you can see most of Dartmouth and Kingswear. The snug has a couple of sofa's and TV. You really can spend hours there just watching the world go by.
Finally a great house with superb views and great location close to town.

"Wonderful views - the on-line images barely did the actual views justice."
There was little advice about how we should carry out normal recycling e.g., what were we supposed to do with it? Surely a basic piece of advice nowadays.

"We had a wonderful stay at Onedin House."
Everything about it exceeded our expectations. It was perfectly situated. The property was spacious enough for our family of 5 adults to either sit together or lose each other completely within the house! It was tastefully and comfortably furnished with a full range of kitchen equipment etc. The level of cleanliness was high throughout. The snug at top of the house with it's wonder harbour views was a bonus. The delightful well tended garden and the patio space was a lovely little sun trap for morning coffee. We appreciated the seaside touches around the property and enjoyed the references to the property's history. Our estate car struggled to get up the hill beyond the house on the day of our arrival so all passengers jumped out and took our bags out so that the driver could drive to the top and turn around.The Mayor's Avenue car park is a very short walk from the house (approx 5 mins) so on our last day we carried our bags and belongings to the car park in a few stints to avoid parking on the hill outside the house to load up. Lovely coastal walks beyond the castle. The town seemed to be coping well and respectfully within Covid guidelines.
We had such a lovely tranquil week. It was perfect!

"Onedin House exceeded all our expectations; a most beautifully presented property that is so close to the shops and restaurants that climbing the hill isn’t too much of an effort!"
All bedrooms are of a good size, the kitchen is well equipped, and the whole house was pristine. There is a small garden with lovely roses and lavender.
The living room at the top of the house is a wonderful bonus. We enjoyed sitting there in the evenings, admiring the spectacular view.
The owner has thoughtfully provided many books on local history, attractions and walks which helped us plan our days.
Parking in Dartmouth is a challenge (and some of the roads are very narrow!!), but there is a permit provided for the main car park.

"House is very nice, location good and very well equipped (particularly snug with lots of DVDs, music and lots of local information and walks)."
However when we arrived the house was very, very dusty and the cleanliness was definitely not as I would expect. I called the office (Carl was helpful) and the cleaners did come round on the Saturday evening and did some dusting and hoovering of major areas eg chest of drawers, mantelpieces and the heated towel rails in the bathroom! And the bath.
My other disappointment was that when I booked I had a conversation with one of your colleagues and specifically said I was looking for somewhere quiet and peaceful. She did point our that two of the properties I was interested in had building work in the close vicinity. However, Onedin House has a major renovation project in a house just across the street, and work was being done mostly starting at 8am. Another house opposite was having a decking put down in front of it and looked like it was also being renovated, and that went on all through the Bank Holiday weekend. So not as quiet and peaceful as I would have liked!
Building and renovation work is transient, however it would be helpful if your office had up to date information.

"With regard to Onedin House - we had such a lovely week with our daughter and family."
The property more than lived up to our expectations. It is very well equipped with the customer arguably not short of anything they need. It is very well heated throughout including underfloor heating in the kitchen.
The phone call from the owner to check that we were happy with everything and to wish us “Happy New Year” was much appreciated. In all, highly recommended and all being well, we will return

"I cannot fault this house, its location, its view and the standard of finish inside."
Lovely rooms, especially the top floor along with its stunning view, great level of utilities, lots of stairs, 39 to be precise which is why they have a 39 steps poster at the top - nice touch. Its quite a steep hill to the property with a 33% gradient. Sink and fridge on the top floor is a great idea so that you don't continually go up and down to make a brew! I have one criticism but its not about this property which I cannot fault, its the parking, You have a permit to park in the local car park about 5 minutes away. I had 3 bad experiences with this car park all within 1 weeks stay. My car was scratched on 2 separate occasions and then one morning I arrived to find my rear number plate was ripped off. Thankfully it was left on the ground beside the car and wasn't broken so I was able to drive to the nearby Sainsburys and buy some double sided tape to re-attach it. But I have to say I would walk from the house down to my car wondering what else would be done to it. The parking is tight and perhaps the 2 scratches (one was considerable were from other cars parking / leaving), I don't know but the number plate ripped off was clearly vandalism. Ive attached a picture of one of the scratches to my car

"This was our 4th stay in Onedin House."
Unfortunately the first floor bathroom is looking a little tired now and could have been cleaner (particularly the towel rail which was very dusty and had a couple of hairs stuck to it!.) However the house retains it's charm and is well situated for the town centre. Over the years we have found that the view from the garden is becoming less due to the neighbour's growing plant life! but it's still a pleasure to sit out in this well stocked little garden.

"Brilliant holiday home, lovely views especially from the small balcony on the top floor."
Very well stocked everything you could need. The walk up the hill is steep and i was gratefull it wasnt further up, but it was not too bad, and worth it for the views. Disappointed there was no welcome pack though. Every other holiday rental I've stayed in provides one of some description. Milk for a cup of tea on arrival after a long journey is always appreciated, bread, butter etc. But apart from that it was one of the nicest places I've stayed in, I would say the photos don't really do it justice.

"Onedin House is one of the best rentals we've ever had with a high standard throughout."
We have stayed twice in two years and would definitely go back. Everything is well maintained, the views are amazing and yet you are just a two-minute walk from the Dartmouth town centre. Excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, all within walking distance. Can't say enough good things about this rental!
