    "Coast and country are very efficient."

    The Sail Loft was very clean and lovely. The sofa was very low and it was difficult for my mum to get up. The steps into the chalet was also very high which again was a problem. All in all if was a lovely chalet.

    "We stayed here with two boys."

    The challet itself was lovely and satisfied our needs. It had everything we needed, the double seemed quite small and not the most comfortable but nothing too bad. The site itself didn't have much going for it, ours wanted to play out but there weren't even many kids on site when we stayed which was a shame but 6 mins drive into Dartmouth which is beautiful for jogs in the morning and easy to park at 7am! There is a walk just to right of the site entrance but it's very steep so if planning to jog that you want to be good as it's a mile of downhill! Great location for seeing lots of nice places. Hope cove was great for sandy beach. We saw dolphins near mattiscombe sands at the lighthouse. The Paignton water park was excellent for kids especially those old enough to be going round on own. (Ours did aged 9/11). Salcombe and north sands beach is nice and quite near and you can get the little ferry from salcombe to south sands. All in all for the money it was a great location and as I said the place itself was nice to stay in. WiFi worked most of the time, seemed a bit dodgy when it rained for some reason. TVs in all rooms and we found sofa very comfy.

    "Very clean with good facilities including a washer dryer and dishwasher, a slight problem with the shower blocking, using a plunger which we bought and some bleach and boiling water it was soon cleared, but as neither of us had been near sand it wasn't caused by that ( re note in bathroom) the site was very quiet and relaxing but further away from Dartmouth than it appeared in the blurb."

    Comfortable bed and nicely furnished but the sofa badly needed replacing, but all in all it was good value for the money and within an hours drive of lots of lovely places.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave some thoughtful feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday. I'm sorry you had issues with the shower, as well as the sofa. The sofa was nearly new when we took over the chalet last year, and I washed all the removable covers when we we stayed in May. At some point we will replace it with one that's not as low.

    "The accommodation was very modern and had everything we needed."

    There’s plenty of space and storage which was great. A nice bonus was having a tv in the bedrooms. Quiet location within easy access to beaches and shops. Would definitely recommend this property. The only one negative was, a couple of the white towels were badly stained so we didn’t use these.

    Thank you for recommending our chalet and we're glad you enjoyed your stay. We're very sorry about the stained towels and have spoken to the owner of the cleaning company. This was clearly a mistake as stained laundry should not be used. If guests have any issues during their stay, we would encourage them to contact Coast and Country, so they can sort them without delay. Property Owner

    "Dirty property in need of maintenance"

    Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you weren't happy with the property. Guests are invited to fill in a feedback form for the cleaners, but you didn't do this, and the cleaning company has only had positive feedback. The owner of the cleaning company inspected the property as soon as we received your feedback to check that the cleaners had been doing a thorough job, but it had been cleaned to a high standard. We are also wondering what the maintenance issues you mention are, so we can put them right. Normally guests would contact Coast and Country if there are any problems with the property during their stay, so they can deal with things immediately. Coast and Country attempted to contact you so we could find out what the problem was, but you didn't respond, so unfortunately we are none the wiser. Property Owner

    "Lovely accomodation was a great bolthole for our week exploring Dartmouth with two young children."

    Also having large green space on site to have a run around on evening on site was great, which also had lovely views over Dartmouth. Accommodation had everything we needed and was very clean and tidy. Also handy having both petrol station, Lidl and Sainsbury's very close by really handy. We did notice the shower occasionally leaked at the back and it leaked under the wall in the lounge, although easy to clean up and only happened twice.

    "We had a wonderful stay."

    There was only 1 slight objection to class it a perfect stay and that would be having no WiFi. Had there been children staying in the lodge this would probably cause issues. Unfortunately due to hip and knee problems the sofa was too low for me to sit on but at least I could use the dining room chair. It would not deter us from returning at a future date though.

    Thank you for your feedback and apologies for the delayed response. We were waiting for Coast and Country to check the WiFi was up and running first. There is now a good signal from the router. Unfortunately we can't get the TV to work as a smart TV, but there is an HDMI cable to connect it to a laptop. Macs will need an adapter. I'm sorry you found the sofa too low. That is helpful feedback and when the time comes we'll replace it with a higher one. Property Owner

    "Overall had a lovely stay, as there's no WiFi it would be good to have a bus timetable to hand."

    Although we ate out most of the time the chalet was well equipped and we had everything we needed. The doorstep was a bit iffy, could do with a wider step.

    Thank you for your feedback and comments. We have only just taken over this chalet but we plan to get WiFi installed when we visit at the beginning of June. We'll also get a bus timetable and have a look at the doorstep. Property Owner

The property

Dartmouth 2.8 miles.

The Sail Loft is a well-presented lodge in the scenic Norton Park, just outside of Dartmouth.

This single-storey retreat welcomes families looking to escape the rush of everyday life and uncover the attractions of South Devon.

Upon arrival you are greeted by an allocated parking space, from which you can unload your belongings before getting to know your new home-from-home.

Allow the chef of the group to take over the kitchen while the rest of the group lay the dining table with crockery and cutlery; why not choose a bottle of your favourite tipple to compliment?

While away the hours as you wander the communal grounds of the park before retreating inside and washing away the day in the shower room.

Both bedrooms feature good storage space and wall-mounted TVs so you can continue your favourite shows in bed.

For your local amenities, hop in the car to Dartmouth, home to a great selection of boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries, promising a superb day out.

Take the passenger ferry to Kingswear and browse a greater selection of charming streets lined with quirky shops, before stopping at a local pub for a pint and nibble.

Join the South West Coastal Path, a must for those keen walkers, journeying along to Dartmouth Castle and providing a great outlook across the Dartmouth Estuary.

While in the region, tick off the attractions of the Dartmouth National Park, including Wistman’s Wood, Foggintor Quarry, Shavercombe Falls and the magnificent 19th century Tudor House, Cotehele.

With plenty to fill your holiday itinerary, a break at The Sail Loft promises plenty of adventure.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

Where you’ll be staying

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.
