"Lovely cottage - all mod cons."
Only downside was the family occupying the house next door. Very noisy first thing in the morning banging up and down the stairs (which are located over the stairs in TOWH) and on the top floor (located over the main ensuite bedroom). Also the parking space is VERY small!

"We had an amazing stay at The Old Wash House in beautiful Dartmouth!"
We love the town and have been visiting it for many decades. On this occasion we had the best time celebrating my special birthday!
TOWH was not only very comfortable but a great find & had everything we could possibly need. It was perfectly situated with easy access for exploring the town & the local area and had a lovely outside space with a pretty courtyard garden & a car space too! There’s so much history attached to the property & it was interesting to see find out more about it in the fab little town museum!
Many thanks for a wonderful stay & we would love to return to TOWH some day!

"The cottage is beautiful and tastefully done ."
It’s our second stay and appreciated the treats left for us . Lovely outside courtyard which we enjoyed later in the evening as we were blessed with good weather and warm evenings. Only thing that needs addressing is the outside seating is looking tired now , but generally the whole house is very stylish and well maintained. Games console upstairs and lots of games and information about the resort in the cupboard. The house has a small parking space which is a bonus and is on the flat which is another onus . Just a 5 minute stroll to the centre. Would definitely stay again .
We look forward to welcoming you back for your third visit! We have now upgraded the patio furniture - thank you for your feedback.

"The cottage and location were pretty perfect."
Everything in the property was well thought out and we all loved our time there. With great weather, we spent a lot of time in the lovely courtyard. The only thing we thought could be improved was the outdoor furniture which has seen better days. Most of the seats are starting to sag and one of the sofas in particular was bent in at the end meaning the seat on top didn’t sit right and the cushions kept sliding off.
Delighted you had a really good time. Thank you for your feedback - we have acted on it and upgraded the patio furniture.

This must be the best-appointed rental property in the UK - quite amazing. Also characterful and within easy reach of the front. So nice to come into a place where the basics have been provided, e.g. plenty of tabs for the dishwasher, etc. All it lacked was a cosy for the teapot !

"Our third stay at The Old Wash House."
As ever we had a great stay. Not short of anything we needed. The freezer was so useful during the heat wave, we could keep plenty of ice and lollies. The courtyard is brilliant for sitting out and we used it everyday. It does get very hot 36 degrees according to the helpful thermometer and it might be useful to have some seating in the shadier part of the outside space. We are gutted that we won’t be staying again next year as we don’t need a property as big as The Old Wash House as there will just be 2 of use plus the dogs. Thank you again for a lovely stay.

The location was also perfect for getting around Dartmouth itself but also travelling around the South Coast of Devon plus having a designate parking space at the rear of the property was a real bonus. Can honestly say that it made our first trip to Dartmouth a memorable one - such a lovely town - especially as we were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary! The "Wright Crew" can be proud of their little gem!

"The Old Wash House in Dartmouth is a beautiful property."
Perfect location for getting into town and it’s a flat walk. We also had parking which is always a bonus. Everything was just about thought of in the house, if they had put clothes in the wardrobes don’t think we would have needed anything. The showers were amazing and the smart TVs a real bonus it meant we could sign into all our steaming services, Netflix, Prime and Now as well having all the catch up services. The courtyard was lovely sit out, once we found the cushions doh! a tiny niggle would be that it’s not secure for the dogs and we quickly learned you have to tie them up or hold their lead to avoid an escape. The third bedroom is up in the eves and isn’t really suitable for anyone older than a teenager, which was fine in our case as that was who was using it. Because of its location that bedroom was also very hot but there is a fan which helped. All in all a great stay and we would come back.

"Lovely cottage, all good quality facilities required as promised and clean and comfortable."
The gas fired wood burner in the living room was great, no mess and easy to use and made the room cosy. Great location just a short walk on the level to town.
Only comments would be that the courtyard area was not dog proof which was not an issue for us visiting in November as we did not use the courtyard to sit outside but in the summer this would be more awkward as the dog would have to be on a lead when outside. Don't know how this could be addressed though with the parking spot which is a big plus in Dartmouth where parking is difficult.
Overall, really enjoyed our stay.
Thanks
