"Just got back from a wonderful stay at Number 4, The Potteries, and I can’t recommend it enough!"
From the moment we arrived, it felt like a home away from home—peaceful, beautifully kept, and with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break.
The property itself is immaculate. Clean, cozy, and tastefully decorated, with thoughtful touches throughout. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking (though we did treat ourselves to a few meals out!), and the living space was perfect for curling up after a day of exploring. Comfy beds, hot showers, and plenty of space to unwind.
What really made it special, though, was the location. Surrounded by the gorgeous countryside, it’s ideal for anyone who loves walks, fresh air, and a bit of quiet. We visited a few local spots like Kingsbridge,Salcombe and Paignton and it was lovely to come back to such a comfortable base each evening.
Whether you’re after a romantic escape, a family trip, or just a peaceful few days away from it all, Number 4, The Potteries, is a hidden gem. Already thinking about when we can go back!
Thank you for your wonderful review Lorraine.
I couldn’t have put it better myself!
We look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

"Andy and Natalie Magraw (owners of the property) were kind enough to send us details of the alternative route we needed to take to reach, 4, The Pottery, due to a landslide on the road from Dartmouth town."
This information was not forwarded by Coast and County Cottages. The property was excellent, we enjoyed 'an outside space' by the Warfleet Creek, a few moments walk from the property. Since Coast and Country have been bought out by Sykes/Forge Holiday Group, a company that uses an online Digital Communications system, the customer service is terrible, it proved impossible to speak to a human being to get answers to simple queries. In my opinion, the telephone numbers provide resulted in text messaging/chats, all of which were responded to by an AI system, not a human being.The digital communications system did not have the right 'boxes' for us to tick to get anwers to our queries. We were unable to phone through to the office on the telephone numbers provided on their website and as a result we will not be booking the property again using this company. The only way I was able to discus several 'pre arrival' queries with a representative was to pretend I was booking a holiday!! They were quick to answer the phone then. The attitude of the staff in the Salcombe and Dartmouth office, on the telephone, ranged from indifference to rude. When we walked into the Dartmouth Office on day one of our holiday, the young receptionist was pleasant but could not help us with our queries and deferred to her colleagues. Everything that I was told that they would do a week prior to our arrival was clearly not done. They did not contact my brother in law regarding his late arrival at another property, nor did they reassure me that I would receive a refund for a pet that was not going to stay. They did not send an email to confirm the above. Appalling customer service, hence the zero rating for Coast and Country cottages and a five star rating for the property. In a nutshell, property is great but the customer service from Coast and Country Cottages (alias Sykes/Forge Holiday group) is dreadful.

"Such a lovely ground floor apartment to stay."
Very well equipped kitchen. Warm and comfy beds. Lovely short stroll to water front and castle. The place has a loft apartment feel to it.
Allocated parking. Although the place seemed busy, really couldn’t hear anyone else in the place. Good WiFi and smart TV.
My only observation is that you need to take care of you are tall! Some areas where the ceiling is low (although sign there to remind you to duck) and the toilets are really low. However, if you are fit and have good thigh muscles you’ll be fine!
Thank you for your great review Emma, a very accurate appraisal!
We hope you will be visiting again.

"Just got back from our stay at this lovely apartment, first time here, but we have stayed at another apartment in the block before."
It’s a very homely apartment, on the ground floor so excellent for off loading your luggage. Lounge, dining and kitchen on the top level and a WC, with two bedrooms downstairs, one en-suite.
Everything is so tastefully decorated throughout and extremely comfortable.
Lots of information in a folder which helps with all the heating instructions and oven etc.
You still cannot access the potteries via Warfleet Road, the road still hasn’t been repaired, and means you have a good detour to get to the potteries down some tight country lanes.
Counting down the days for our next holiday here in May,
Thank you for your review Lorraine, we look forward to welcoming you back in May! Andy & Natalie

"This is an excellent place to base yourself, just on the outskirts of Dartmouth with a short stroll into town and none of the hassle of having to find parking."
The pottery was very comfortable and very quiet and we had a great time.
Our only feedback was that our ensuite floor wasn’t cleaned very well, with hair on the floor and dusty tile edges that form the skirting, there was also a pair of pants left on the floor behind the bedroom chair, so it hadn’t been pulled out at change over as they would’ve been seen. We appreciate that at this time of year the cleaners must be under pressure to get around and get all the properties ready for the next guests.
This bathroom is looking a little tired as the panelling is starting to warp and the flooring showing signs of wear. All the toilets in the apartment are set extremely low and so anyone with mobility problems would struggle, you definitely had to use those thighs to get up and down!
All that being said we would book this apartment again as we did enjoy our stay.
Thank you for your comments Liane,
We are glad you enjoyed your stay at 4 The Pottery.
Your comments regarding the cleaning have been noted and actioned. The cleaning company we use are usually very good and this is not acceptable.
I agree with your comments regarding the bathrooms and we intend to make some changes in the near future. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Andy & Natalie

"We stayed at 4 The Pottery with friends as Dartmouth was a halfway meeting point for us."
The apartment is beautifully finished and well equipped, one of the best we have stayed in. It is a 15 minute walk to the town but what a lovely walk it is. We used the Castle Ferry to return one day which was a lovely experience. All in all cannot recommend highly enough

"Our stay at No 4 The Pottery was extremely comfortable, convenient for the town and walks to the castle and beyond and, above all, very well-equipped and spotless."
The property particulars are accurate and the owners have given thought to storage throughout the property and to the current-day extras such as an air fryer, which added to the kitchen facilities. We had a wonderful stay and would like to go back as soon as possible.

"A beautifully presented and very comfortable Apartment providing plenty of well maintained and good sized accommodation."
There was nothing extra that was needed, it was great having the Juliet balcony which allowed the lovely fresh air into the Apartment, the bed was also very comfy. The only comment I would make for future holiday makers is the walking distance into Dartmouth. We were lead to believe that it was "just a short 12 minute walk" into the town. This may be true if one is very fit and agile, whilst we are very capable of , and enjoy a good walk, it was steep in a couple of places and took us approx 30 minutes each way. Apart from the walk we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 4 The Pottery - many thanks.
Thank you Carol, we are glad you enjoyed your stay. You are right, 12 minutes into Dartmouth is challenging! I have amended this on the welcome letter.
Look forward to welcoming you back again.

"I had a lovely stay at 4 the Pottery with my dog."
It’s a lovely renovation which has left lots of the original building . It’s a bit quirky but has excellent facilities. The location makes a perfect base to leave the car and walk. The building is personal to me as my mother worked there in the late 40s.
Thank you to Andy for the welcome message and gift. It’s a nice personal touch.

"We had an amazing stay for our 25th wedding anniversary."
The location is great for walking to the centre of Dartmouth to do some shopping and the Art Centre, and still be in the quiet area. The slipway is next to the building to walk the dog and go to the Castle and more woodland walks. We did drive up to Blackpool Sands - lovely pebble beach with a cafe. This property has parking which is a treat in Dartmouth. The property had everything we needed for cooking, beds were very comfortable.
Overall a great property!

"Very nice cosy apartment with excellent facilities and easy walking distance to Dartmouth Town centre."
Fantastic local walks from apartment without the need to use your car. Our only criticism is the tightness of the parking spaces (we had paint chipped on two doors of our car which we believe happened whilst parked at the apartment) there is additional parking within the location which is blocked off and unused, perhaps this area could be opened up, therefore, each apartments parking space could be made slightly wider making it easier for people to access their vehicles without squeezing at the risk of damaging other peoples cars. Especially as alot of cars are now SUV's.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the apartment and the many of the local walks and we have taken on board your comments regarding the car parking. Each of the spaces are the same width and can comfortably fit an average family car. There are also visitor spaces that may be more suitable depending on how neighbouring cars have parked. We usually unload everything before parking up to make disembarking as easy as possible. We have always classed ourselves as fortunate to have a parking space as many homes in Dartmouth are without one. We hope this does not deter you from staying at the apartment in the future.
