We have been to Dartmouth a million times as well as living there previously too and am constantly amazed when we come across a new place to stay.
We decided VERY last minute to come to Dartmouth for music festival this year so choice of accommodation was limited.
We booked online and added the Thursday night on which was great as so often accommodation start dates and end dates are fixed so this flexibility really appealed.
Plus points of the accommodation
1. Location - just literally round the corner from Bayards Cove, easy access. No huge hills to climb and if you know Dartmouth, you will know that’s a bonus
2. Space - basically three rooms and a bathroom but adequate for a short break for 2. I think any longer and you would feel cramped
Downsides
1. No parking pass - I think it would be great to offer this. Thankfully for us, having lived there, we knew a few spots and managed to grab one but a parking pass would have been a peace of mind thing. It was one of the reasons we came down on Thursday not Friday so we could park and leave it in place.
2. Shower is TINY and I mean tiny. Getting in and out on a half pivot door is precarious. It does the job but it’s by no means an easy feat especially if you don’t want to wash your hair lol
3. No view - it’s within literally a few steps of a view though so not really a downside just an observation
We did have an issue with the oven, it wouldn’t come on which spoiled our last nights dining as we planned to eat in. The plug was hidden away at the back of the sink cupboard and was slightly out but even when we sorted that, the selector knob wasn’t working.
We did call the helpline and spoke to someone which was great especially to know someone was there on a Sunday evening but she couldn’t help us resolve the oven so we had to carry on looking for a fix.
In the end we just went out for dinner again.
The freezer also doesn’t freeze well. It’s an ice box and we added an ice pack and it didn’t freeze.
All in all a lovely place to stay and would happily come back for the location and for a short break but feel a couple of things need attention.
Mainly the oven, the freezer and would have liked a parking pass and a a hair dryer ( if there was one, I couldn’t find it )
Final word, always worth going direct rather than booking.com where I initially saw it but it’s more expensive on there, presumably due to adding the fees on that booking.com charge.
