  • "The property is well equipped and comfortable but we were not told that the building is covered scaffolding and netting."

    Apart from the obstruction of the view, on the day we were getting ready to pack up, the builders appeared at the window which was somewhat disconcerting. I do recall seeing that the apartment is on the 3rd floor, I was hoping for an elevator but found a very narrow steep staircase which was difficult with luggage at our age. Had we known the building was covered in scaffolding we would certainly not have booked

    Apologies for the issue with the scaffolding. We had hoped this had been communicated to you before your stay and that a discount had been offered, so we are very sorry for any inconvenience caused. The building owner is currently overseeing external painting works to the building, and it is clear that this information was not properly relayed to you. As a gesture of goodwill, we would like to offer you a 20% discount on a future stay with us. We do mention the 48 steps in the listing as we appreciate that they are quite a climb. However, they are fairly common in Dartmouth's period properties and are often the trade-off for the wonderful sea view. If you join us again we'll make sure there a cold crisp bottle for you in the fridge! Overall, I hope you enjoyed your stay and that you had the chance to make the most of the sunshine in beautiful Dartmouth. All the best, Olly and Georgie Property Owner

    I appreciated the view of the water and the castle in the distance. The location was superb. The staff were excellent.

    Thank you James, it was a pleasure to host you :) Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed our stay, unfortunately the listing intimated free parking on site."

    Which it did not. So we had to plan our movements around parking. Few small things that should been picked up before, hopefully will be sorted for next guests.

  • "The accommodation was perfect as long as you can climb the 48 stairs, which we could!"

    The rooms were spacious and very well appointed.There was a great view from the lounge window over much of the harbour and Kingswear. Its location is ideal for exploring Dartmouth and the local area.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us some lovely feedback. We hope you had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful views of Dartmouth and all it has to offer. Property Owner

  • "The Nest was generally adequate for our needs although lacked some cutlery ie: only the teaspoon."

    The ad did mention third floor accommodation but the 49 steps to get there would be testing for most. Parking in Dartmouth is very difficult if you want to leave your car for a couple of days without use. There is nowhere that offers 24 hour parking!

    Many thanks for taking your time to leave your feedback. We can only apologise that you did not find 24hr parking. There is 24hr parking in Dartmouth all year round. If you are in Dartmouth again, please pop into the office and we can assist you with where is available. We do hope you had a lovely holiday and enjoyed all the area has to offer. Property Owner

  • "We enjoyed our stay, great location, although disappointed with the parking situation, no parking permit and lots of restricted parking in Dartmouth until end of September."

    Had to park in park & ride which wasn’t very convenient. There were two light bulbs not working (one in kitchen & one in bedroom) plus only one teaspoon provided & no tall drinking glasses.

    Everything else was brilliant, the bed was really comfortable and we had a fab nights sleep.

  • "We had a wonderful stay at the Nest."

    The property was immaculately presented with lots of lovely little touches (loved the towel and loo roll art!). Bed was super comfy, bathroom was clean and serviceable. The property was very central, on the doorstep of cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops. The living room also offered a lovely view of the harbour. The Nest is located on the top floor, it was a trek up the flights of stairs with our cases but did not cause a significant problem, although this might be problematic for those with mobility issues. All in all, a super, relaxing stay in the most gorgeous part of Devon....loved it!

  • "We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at The Nest."

    It’s lovely and quiet and yet only a stone throw from the harbour - you can watch the boats coming and going and see out to sea. We enjoyed walks along the coast and the estuary and coming back to a light, spacious and comfortable apartment with some lovely finishing touches.

  • "What a lovely holiday property which immediately felt like home."

    We had the best time despite the weather! It is in the perfect location for days out, restaurants, shops and pubs. I can highly recommend this property and we would not hesitate to go back. Even though it says there is parking it is very restricted. We found it easier to use the Park and Ride car park rather than keep moving the car. We paid using the app every morning so didn’t even have to get out of bed!

  • "We had a wonderful stay in the nest and the location was perfect - right in the centre of town and a 30 second walk from the harbour."

    The layout of the apartment was also very nice and spacious for the two of us. The decor was beautiful and the place was very well cleaned. In general the facilities were very good but one possible improvement would be to leave washing machine tablets as we were given dishwasher ones instead when there is no dishwasher.

  • "The property was lovely."

    Very modern decoration, clean and spacious. Unfortunately my husband had been in hospital shortly before and the 45 steep steps were a struggle. The only slightly misleading bit was the on street parking. There were double yellow lines in front of the property and parking was for up to one hour. The nearby carpark was for up to 4 hours. We ended up using the park and ride car park 5-10 minutes away.

    Super comfortable bed. Lounge okay. Very clean. Good location. Nice kitchen. Would ideally have liked a dishwasher, due to covid still being around. However, fully understand the lack of room for one.

  • "Lovely cosy property in centre of town with better views of the river than expected."

    Well maintained and scrupulously clean. Very comfortable bed too!! Perhaps more comfortable seating in living room would be considered as the 40+ steps up to the property took their toll on my poor old legs!! Will definitely be back though.

    Paul, thank you for your feedback and we love to hearing guests enjoying Dartmouth and our nest! We've taken your feedback on board and now swapped the sofa to a softer option which we hope will add some more comfort. We'd love to host you again and hear about your Dartmouth highlights :) Best wishes, Olly and Georgie Property Owner

The property

Resting in the ever-popular town of Dartmouth, within the picturesque South Hams AONB in South Devon, is The Nest, a delightful third-floor apartment within a stones throw of the River Dart and just moments from the bustling high street.

The apartment has been wonderfully presented and serves as a great base for couples seeking an unforgettable pursuit to Devon.

After a day of sightseeing, look forward to relaxing on the comfortable sofa and flicking through the TV channels, reflecting upon the day’s activities with thoughts of where to head next.

A large dormer window provides picturesque views across the river to Kingswear and towards Dartmouth Castle, tempting your exploration further.

Cross over to the quaint yet well-equipped kitchen and really make the most of the space, offering an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and even a washing machine, so you won’t have to pack all your clothes.

A romantic dinner can be enjoyed at the dining table or book a restaurant within the town; there’s plenty to choose from.

Finishing off the interior of this charming apartment is an inviting double bedroom served by a gleaming shower room, finished with bath and shower over so you can pick how best to start the day.

When you’re ready to explore, meander the narrow streets lined with boutique shops and art galleries before making your way down to the waterfront where you can watch the boats bob with tide, and even hire your own boat if you wish to take to the water yourself.

The town hosts a number of festivals throughout the year including the Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October, providing something for everyone!

Venture along the South West Coast Path and immerse yourself in scenic splendour or pop off your walking boots and sink your toes into the golden sands of Sugary Cove Beach, providing you with a moment of true relaxation.

Hop on board the Dartmouth Steam Railway towards Paignton, encompassing unspoilt Devonshire countryside along the way, and pay a visit to Paignton Zoo, home to over 2000 animals and 300 species.

However you choose to spend your time, The Nest provides an excellent touring base for discovering Dartmouth and the Devonshire coastline.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.

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.
