• "Overall the cottage was lovely and well equipped for a party of our size."

  It was decorated beautifully and had good sized communal areas that were comfortably furnished. Really pleased with the level of wood available for the wood burner and that there were fire-lighters, kindling and matches provided. As we were made aware a few days before our trip, we had was the inconvenience we had of the shower not working in the master bedroom en-suite but we appreciated the compensation received. We did find it difficult to control the water temperature in the shower in the family bathroom, it would suddenly change part way through the shower to luke warm or very hot. The flush on the toilet in the master bedroom en-suite was a bit temperamental. We enjoyed the use of the golf club facilities and the beautiful setting. I am not sure if the cottage is owned by the golf club, if so I would also feedback that as an avid walker, it would have been nice to be able to have access to footpaths directly from the cottage as the golf course was out of bounds to walkers and the dog walking path was very short. Overall a lovely stay with a beautiful well equipped cottage. Thank you.

• "A lovely, clean, airy, light, well equipped cottage."

  Those staying need to consider the distance from the car park to the cottage which wasn’t an issue for us as lots of us staying to help bring our things to the house but if you have one or more small children & all their paraphernalia it may be a bind especially if it’s raining. Lovely being able to use the pool area at the hotel too.

• "We have just returned from a week in Dartmouth, and had a fabulous time."

  The property is lovely, well situated with great views and nearby spa, swimming pool, gym and golf facilities. We had 7 adults and 2 babies, sharing 4 double bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The property has excellent facilities, with quality furniture and fittings (mostly new John Lewis items), lots of extras such as tennis rackets (for use on the nearby courts), high chair, stair gate, travel cot, kids toys (fishing nets, crab lines, bucket & spade) etc. The kitchen is equipped with one under counter fridge, one under counter freezer, and a bottle/drinks fridge in the utility, a washer dryer, dishwasher, oven/hob, and Nespresso coffee machine. I had read some reviews regarding the size of the fridge, but we didn't think this was an issue, shopping every other day at the nearby Sainsburys supermarket. There is a charcoal BBQ, with coal and lighters supplied, along with an internal log burner and logs. The property is a short walk to the car park. Again some reviews have criticised this, but we did not experience any problems. I would suggest that people booking this property should bring wheeled suitcases, and if you have (or can borrow) a folding festival trolley (as we did), this would make life a lot easier (a suggestion for the owners perhaps?). Overall, we really enjoyed our week and hope to return at some point in the future.

• "The cottage was in a beautiful setting and very convenient for the park and ride into Dartmouth."

  The spa facilities were very good for our daughter and her family. The downside was unloading and reloading at the end of our week. Although stating that there would be an up hill climb to the cottage it really was very difficult with all the stuff that you need for a week. The trolley provided was really not adequate for this job and maybe the owner could consider changing this to something more suitable. Also the fridge in the kitchen was not big enough considering the cottage slept 8. Luckily there was a drinks fridge which was great but not everyone goes out for all meals and may need to stock up on food. Having said all that we had a really lovely week in a very lovely part of the country.

• "We were very happy with our stay in Courtyard Cottage: the bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable; the living areas bright and airy and the kitchen well equipped."

  We are a multigenerational family group and we’re celebrating a big birthday and the care and attention to detail made the property a home from home. The location was convenient and the facilities at the golf club appreciated.

• "Not the first time we have stayed in this beautiful place."

  It’s like home from home. Clean, tidy and everything you need even down to games & a play station. Only criticism is the water pressure in the showers, but that didn’t spoil our time here.

• "Unfortunately there were problems it was a fantastic cottage in a fantastic location."

  The Wi-Fi code that had been displayed in our cottage was incorrect andI had to contact Sykes to contact the owner for the correct Wi-Fi code , 4 phone calls took time as I had no signal. The shower upstairs had a notice in it saying not to use it was not working so I mentioned this to you and you came back later saying there was discussions with the brand maker as it was under repair. So we shared with my grandson downstairs his shower . I eventually got a message day before we left that the shower was fine and the notice was a mistake. Due to the lovely weather we all wanted to sit in the garden and the balcony which I cleaned first brushing and vacuuming all the cobwebs off the balcony rails staircase seats etc it was covered. Hope all this helps it does sound negative but it was a lovely house and we had a lovely holiday

• "Really lovely property and great location."

  Was good to have use of the Golf Club pool - though shame we were not allowed to use the spa towels. Ended up with a lot of wet towels at home! Loved the layout and really worked for our set-up of 2 families staying together. Parking wasn’t an issue and was able to pre-arrange Sainsburys food delivery too. Perfect base for exploring the area but also flopping at home and relaxing.

• "For any elderly or informed folks it should be been stressed that there would be difficulties with transporting heavy items up to the house, such as suitcases, bottles etc."

  it is all UP. There is a long slope or steps, in the icy weather that we had the slope was slippery. The owners do supply a trolly, but you need to get to the house first , and it’s still heavy and difficult.

• "We were so delighted with this holiday home."

  I would be very hard pushed to find anything to criticize at all. It had all the necessary equipment and more. The beds were really comfortable and the bedding was high quality. The bedroom sizes were spacious and the ensuites were lovely. It was a little taste of luxury.I would highly recommend this accomodation.

• "Great place to stay with a family group."

  Very well equipped for 8. We loved using the swimming pool every day, the golf course and enjoyed playing some of the board games provided in the cottage. Great location. Dartmouth, Totnes and Torquay were all good. We would have given 10 out of 10 but we all struggled with the very firm beds. A point to note is that the car park is a long way from the cottage so it took many trips to unload and load the car. If we were going to Dartmouth again, we would definitely stay at Courtyard Cottage and would recommend it to family and friends, especially those who would love the golf course, the pool and the spa.

• "We had a really wonderful stay at Courtyard."

  The house itself has everything you need which added to our stay being so relaxing. The view from the cottage is absolutely breathtaking too. It’s a really good base as it’s not far from Dartmouth and around 30 minutes from Paignton. The wifi is pretty poor if that’s something you want on holiday and the living area and upstairs bedroom floors were VERY creaky which meant whoever was sleeping downstairs would be able to hear every movement. Otherwise it was pretty perfect.

• "The cottage is beautifully decorated and well equipped for a very comfortable holiday."

  There is plenty of room for a group of 4 couples, with their own en-suite or bathroom facilities. The beds are comfortable and the living area well furnished. Any issues arising are quickly and efficiently dealt with by the owners and managing agents.

• "What an amazing cottage!"

  Sooo well equipped with absolutely everything you could want, all of a high quality and extras you didn’t even know you might need, (like the little nightlight plugs in every bedroom.) Super comfy beds too. We had a wonderful stay. A swim in the pool was a great way to start the day and then lots of exploring. With so much to do nearby there was no need to travel too far. Parking was easy in Dartmouth although there was a Park and Ride if it had been too busy. Convenient location for the supermarket too. We would definitely recommend this cottage to other people!! 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!

• "Lovely and quiet."

  We were a group of eight aged 55-70 Access to the tennis court was a real bonus and it’s a great surface to play on in all weathers. The Spa was an added bonus too. We had to drive to get anywhere but it was well worth it. We ate in the hotel one night and the food was great. Highly recommend a visit to Brixham Rockfish restaurant but use the park and ride 3 miles out of Brixham as parking in the town is limited. The Round robin trip and steam train experience was great. Also must recommend the Pig and Whistle pub the food was 10 out of 10 and excellent value. Overall a lovely place to stay with everything you need for a relaxing holiday.

  Everything was exactly as described. The cottage was perfect for the 8 of us staying there. The cottage was well equipped & had everything we needed. It was great to be able to use the hotel pool & gym and spa facilities too. The lounge has gorgeous views & was perfect on a summers evening with the doors fully opened onto the garden which was lovely too. Would definitely recommend staying here.

• "This holiday home was amazing."

  It was so clean and fresh smelling as we entered. It had everything you could ask for in the kitchen from pots and pans, cooking pots, trays as well as all the cleaning products avaliable. The appliances were of an excellent standard and a separate drinks fridge was a bonus. The property is spacious and the beds were really comfy. Being able to use the swimming facilities and gym in the hotel across the car park was great. Under 16s were limited to 8.30 to 10am and 5pm to 6.30pm though. It is situated in lovely grounds and easy to get to various places easily. If going into Dartmouth I would recommend the park and ride as the parking is limited. Very cheap. £5 for a car load. There is nothing I can say negative about this property. Perfect for a family holiday.

  The cottage was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. It’s also well located for Dartmouth, Blackpool Sands and various other attractions (Paignton Zoo isn’t far) and the supermarket is close. The tennis court was never busy and the golf course very much appreciated by the golfers among us. I would recommend Courtyard Cottage as a great base from which to explore.

  The only issue we had was with the beds, except the twin beds, which were very low and uncomfortable. I realise that not everyone would feel the same and that this is a personal issue. We would thoroughly recommend staying here and were we to come back to the area we would undoubtedly stay here again.

  Luxury, perfect location, spacious and great facilities. It had all the amenities You’d need set in a wonderful location. Lovely views from lounge over Dartmouth golf course. Resort was quiet and clubhouse convenient for late eve drinks. Small pool in club was ideal for kids and adults enjoyed the golf. Their gym was small but had all equipment you’d need. We ate in clubhouse once on the evening we arrived and food/ service was good. The location of the house in convenient for Dartmouth, Totnes and all surrounding areas. We had be issue with hot water on arrival, but after a quick phone call it was sorted within the hour. Very impressed! You won’t regret booking this house. We were a large family group of 7, ranging in age 17 to 84 and there was something for everyone!

  Lovely quality bed linens and great kitchen equipment for making full dinners etc. Very clean and fresh throughout with well thought out decor and a family sized tv and sound system. Only things to note are - label the freezer switch. We accidentally switched it off as thought it was a light switch and everything defrosted over night. Also, the combo washer/dryer is good for washing but doesn’t dry well. A great family holiday home with plenty of space and in a perfect setting and location to explore. Very close to Dartmouth and lots of beautiful sightseeing.

• "The property was beautiful and as good as the pictures."

  Very comfortable and perfect for a group of 7 adults. Very well equipped, only items that would be useful would be oven gloves and a large/small casserole dish - other than that found everything we needed for a perfect stay. The use of facilities and restaurant in the adjacent hotel were the factors that swayed us towards this particular property - and we weren't disappointed. The only reason I have not marked the booking experience as "exceeding expectations" was the difficulty in printing directions / invoices etc because there were no printer friendly versions online.

  We stay in a lot of rental properties every year and sadly we are frequently disappointed but this property is fantastic and exceeded our expectations in almost every respect. It was spotlessly clean, plenty of equipment in the kitchen and everything worked. We had a fantastic week here. I am sure we will be back to stay again. One of the best properties I have ever stayed in.

• "We had a fabulous stay recently in Courtyard cottage."

  The cottage has lovely views and was very spacious, clean and had plenty of room for all the family. It was very well equipped with everything we could possibly need. Sky TV, lots of games, books and videos (even a playstation !). The drinks cooler was very useful and there is a BBQ with coals ready to use and logs for the wood burner. There is a tennis court close to the cottage which we really enjoyed and the facilities of the Best Western hotel are also available to use (really useful, we had a swim in the pool, used the spa and gym and had excellent food in the restaurant as well, Sunday lunch is really good). The general location is excellent, close to Dartmouth (use the park and ride it works really well) and loads of other activities and days out are near by. All in all probably the nicest place we have stayed in and we will return.

• "Six of us spent the May Bank Holiday weekend at Courtyard Cottage and had a fantastic time."

  Courtyard Cottage is part of a small "hamlet" of holiday cottages located next to the Dartmouth Hotel, Golf Club & Spa. It is beautifully decorated and equipped and as the main living room is on the the upper floor, there are wonderful views out of the Devonshire countryside. Particularly welcome was the wine fridge and the satellite TV with Sky Sports!!. The whole cottage felt spacious throughout with plenty of room for us all to sit and chat. After a very comfortable nights sleep, the lads had a round of golf on the adjacent golf course, whilst the ladies took advantage of the spa at the the hotel. The golf course is one of the nicest I have played with a challenging but fair design and more of those beautiful Devonshire views. The ladies were equally complimentary about the spa treatments. There are many places to visit nearby. We spent a day in Dartmouth and could have spent two. There are also many place to eat, catering for all tastes and budgets. I can especially recommend "Rock Fish" - fish and chips with a twist! All in all we had a wonderful 4 nights at Courtyard Cottage and have no hesitation in giving 5 stars

• "We stayed in the Courtyard Cottage at the Best Western Golf Resort, Dartmouth."

  The pictures looked nice before we arrived but seeing it in the flesh was really impressive. The cottage is beautifully furnished. A truly lovely place to stay. Not only was it wonderfully decorated, the little extras available made a real difference. A big BBQ with loads of charcoal ready to use, loads of wood for the log burner (although it was too hot to put the fire on), even tennis rackets and balls to use on the tennis court. Just a short walk to the nice spa in the country club with pool, sauna, Jacuzzi. The restaurant in the hotel is good too. I thought it was going to be nice but it surpassed my expectations.
