"A lovely modern and comfortable fisherman's cottage a short walk from the the ferry point on the beautiful Dart."
We had an amazing week as love paddle boarding, so location perfect for us. We really appreciated the food 'welcome pack', a kind thoughtful touch. Hopefully we can return next year.

"The toilet seat was a bit loose we affectionately called it the rodeo ride."
Minor complaint.
The area was a bit lacking in eating locations but with a vehicle this was easily overcome with a quick drive (15 minutes or less) to neighbouring communities.
We loved the cottage and Dittisham.
Thank you for a memorable stay.

"A lovely cottage in a wonderful location which does present some challenges, but we were aware of."
Excellent
Ly presented and clean, with our only gripe was the creating bathroom floor that.regularly woke during the night as our elderly relative frequented.
The pillows are firm so take your own if this doesn’t suit.
Paid a full week’s rental for four nights stay which I felt was harsh given the remaining days were to allow for the builders / decorate ours to work.
Would otherwise give maximum rating for a little gem.

"We had a very enjoyable 4-night stay in this cottage, everything was done so nicely and it is definitely one of the best places we've stayed in."
Extremely comfortable for a young family of four, lovely beds and a great bathroom, with stunning views over the water and only a 30 second walk to the waterside.
Log burner was a real treat, a cute built-in kitchen table ample enough for all of us, plus a TV with lots of films available and a fabulous welcome hamper - we felt spoiled!
Only thing to say is that unloading and packing up was a but tricky because of access, so involved a few trips up a steep hill with big bags, but not a problem at all, well worth the effort.
The local pub next to the river was amazing, very child and dog friendly, and we spent many a happy evening crabbing on the jetty :)
Would love to come back, highly recommend

"We found the property to be as described, in a lovely location and apart from the loose fitting toilet system all was great."
That’s until the neighbours informed us the drains outside our property were blocked and sewerage was discharging onto the pathway outside the entrance. Apparently it is a known problem with the property. For us it meant we could no longer use the toilet or shower. We emailed Sykes and the neighbours phoned the property owner, this was approximately 10am in the morning. To cut a long story short we were eventually informed by the neighbours Wessex water were aiming to call at 7pm that evening but couldn’t guarantee the time/ date. We contacted Sykes again to seek the owners opinion as we had no facilities, plus we had made plans for the following day; anniversary meal etc. The owners response was basically tough luck, it’s not my fault. This I must say really annoyed me as it’s clearly a know problem. I wasn’t looking for a huge sum in compensation but some recognition of the problem. We waited for Wessex until approx 6.30 that evening and in the end had no option but to pack up and go home early. given we had no facilities etc. So, in conclusion, it’s a lovely property but if things go wrong don’t expect the owner to step in and help out.
I am the property owner and your feedback is the first that I have heard of the issue you experienced during your stay. Having lived here for nearly 20 years, I assure you that this is not a known problem at any of the Glendale Cottages. I will contact Coast & Country Cottages to understand what happened and ask them to contact you to discuss this further. I apologise that your stay was not what you had hoped. Property Owner

"Excellent property, thank you for the Christmas tree all decorated for our arrival."
Although no problem with us, please check the temperature of the hot water in the kitchen as it is scalding. Wonderful stay thank you.

"A beautiful cottage in the perfect location."
Lots to do on your doorstep walks trips on the river and plenty to do further a field. Would highly recommend Dartmouth hiring a boat and the steam train.

"The overall stay was very good, location, cottage, all good."
How ever I need to mention that the overall experience with Sykes was not a pleasure, this break had to be re arranged due to Covid and I felt that my hands were tied in having to take the holiday. My original option of cancelling the break was not possible due to the unavailabilty of getting in contact with your insurance brokers, whom I purchased insurance with. A total waste of money, no support, no call backs, no email responses, awful. Then when we decided to keep the booking, instead of loose our money you required for further funds. What a shame. So with that I will not be using your company again.

"Superb place."
Charming character cottage . Didn't want to leave. We loved it here. It was a cold and windy but sunny week so the gorgeous extra throws put on the sofas and beds were very welcome to snuggle up in. Although the cottage was lovely and warm with the underfloor heating and the option of a log burner.
Lovely hot firm shower, very comfy beds. Beautifully furnished with lovely final touches.
Thank you for the welcome pack. Sparkly clean. Stunning views.Lovely to be very close to the pub, good to hear people laughing again. Btw the pub does amazing takeaway pizzas, chips and ale.
Probably in my top 3 cottages I've had the pleasure of staying in over the last 30 years.

There were some marks on one of the pillow cases, but we took our own pillows and cases so this wasn't a big problem.
Thank you for your feedback, we are very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 3 Glendale Cottages. Thank you for letting us know about the pillow case and please be assured that this is not our usual standard and that the linen has been removed from circulation and replaced.

"This property was one of the best holiday let’s ever."
The location was perfect close to the river Dart in the delightful village of Dittisham. We had been to Dittisham previously and were aware that it is very hilly so not for the infirm. The cottage was really well equipped and had everything needed to prepare meals if needed. We enjoyed the pizzas in the Ferry Boat Inn practically on our doorstep and the Anchor Stone Cafe for delicious seafood. The property was exceptionally clean and a welcome hamper was a lovely gesture. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this property.

"3 Glendale cottage was a wonderful place to stay."
Very well equipped and all fixtures and fittings good quality. House was immaculate and very clean on arrival and a lovely welcome pack waiting for us. A few steps from the pub and the waters edge so a really great location if you bring a boat or kayak as we did. Unfortunately we had possibly the worst week of weather that the UK has seen in 4 months which slightly took the shine off what would have been a perfect week.

"The cottage was exceptionally hot this summer and would benefit from having fans available."
Front porch door is starting to rot and didn't close properly. Main bedroom door stuck and was hard to close. It really needs to be very clear about the poor/limited accessibility and state the property is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. It is a beautiful location and property, but very expensive in the summer considering the limited accessibility and lack of garden compared to other properties.
.
Thank you for the feedback regarding your stay at 3 Glendale this summer. We are sorry to hear that you found the property exceptionally hot, the property owner will be providing fans to avoid this. We will be sending our maintenance team to rectify the issues you have specified and we have now amended the description to state the property is not suitable for wheelchair access. We hope to see you again in the future. Coast and Country Cottages Property Owner

"A beautiful cottage, very clean and well specified."
It’s just a few easy steps to the pub and the creek. Only one bathroom so best for a family or a couple. We did have a problem with the heating on the first morning but Sykes and the owner had this sorted within hours - a professional service. There is some damp in the twin bedroom that needs some attention otherwise absolutely perfect and we will be back hopefully when it’s a bit warmer!
