Excellent stay, only parking in front of the house is a challenge. Very nice view on the Dart and lovely garden.

Great visit as usual

We’ve booked this property about 8 times now, always enjoyed it. Even better this year that the upper staircase has had carpet fitted which makes them much better. Good location, having parking is a big plus point. We recommend it.

Enjoyable Dartmouth stay - stylish, quirky, great views!

We really enjoyed our stay on Clarence Hill, the house, views and gardens are lovely and the whole place is well equipped, stylish and thoughtfully presented. Visitors should be aware that the streets around the house are VERY narrow. The parking space was nice and wide (but not that long) and access in a larger car will not be for the faint hearted! That's obviously the nature of Dartmouth though and no reflection on the property or listing.

Superb top quality house with lovely views

Delightful, beautifully restored home with top quality fittings, furnishings and equipment. Wonderful views and very central location. Extraordinary patio garden and sunroom opposite. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this place. Has own small parking space directly outside. Very quiet narrow street. You need to be fit to stay here though as there are lots of stairs both up to the house and inside the house. And the TV could be better, it's Smart but only has NF and iPlayer (as well as a DVD player built in).

Stunning property, amazing views,lovely welcoming touches. Great central location. Highly recommend.

Stunning property with lovely welcoming touches. It's very central with incredible views of Dartmouth, Kingswear and the river. Lots of steps but obviously that's the price you pay for the amazing views. Good to also have the garden area which is private with space to sit, or sunbathe and a conservatory if the weather's cooler or wet. We had a fabulous week and would definitely visit again.

Lovely character house in the Centre of Dartmouth.

The house was gorgeous, exactly as described, it was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The garden is delightful, on warm evenings it provides a wonderful place to enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the views of Dartmouth and the river. A fantastic place to spend a week in South Hams and the communication by Dart Valley Cottages was comprehensive and very helpful. Thank you for a lovely holiday!

Stunning Skinny House

The Skinny House was everything we’d hoped for from the moment we opened the front door ! It was beautiful and extremely well appointed inside. From the modern well equipped kitchen to the fabulous lounge with the most stunning views across Dartmouth . There was absolutely nothing else one could wish for from this delightful house. Extremely comfortable, modern and bright . A 5 minute walk down some steps into the centre of town. The secret garden opposite the house , down some steps , is well hidden and an absolute treasure. We felt like we were in paradise sitting there. The house has 2 flights of stairs so you need to be fit , but well worth the exercise. I’d definitely recommend this house to anyone looking for a holiday in Dartmouth.

Wonderful

Would 100% recommend a stay at this property. The design and decor has been really thought through. A beautiful home that has everything you'll need for a comfortable holiday. The bubbles and other treats were a real bonus, including the secret garden. The owners clearly care about the people staying at their home enjoing the whole experience. Views are wonderful and just a short walk away from town. However, it is quite hilly and there are lots of steps, including stairs in property. A bonus for me as need to keep fit. Got talking to some neighbours who were very helpful about the roads, which can be quite nerve racking in some places, and also happy to make recommendations about where to go. There are so many great things to do in Dartmouth. I Wo uld definitely recommend Coleton fishacre, an art deco property over at Kingswear.

Beautiful House, Beautiful Location

Stayed here for a week, house is very quirky and like a tardis. Big rooms, everything you need and fantastic little garden as a bonus. Only negatives are the fact that there is a lot of stairs in this house. Each staircase is longer than your average one and the one to the bathroom up the top is scary. It’s all part of the quirkiness of the house though. Parking is also a bit of an issue, yes there is a small parking space and if next door are in it’s very difficult to get in and out. We didn’t move much during the week but once we did and parked overnight in the town to save any issues. Wouldn’t recommend for elderly visitors, access to the town is steep roads or a lot of steps (70, we counted every time) we were fine but might struggle in a few years! Anywhere in Dartmouth though is a climb! I’d stay here again without doubt and Dart Valley Cottages were again amazing!

A beautifully positioned property with parking and garden

This was our 3rd visit over a period of 8 years. Much as we enjoyed our holiday we have to say that the furnishings in the property are looking a little tired and could do with an update to bring it back up to the standard anticipated from previous holidays. We unplugged the toaster as it smelt of burning when switched on. It does need to be replaced. Being older now we would recommend that the flight of stairs from lounge to bedroom area covered in nonslip surface as they can be quite slippery underfoot. We It was a little sad to see the garden looking rather neglected and overgrown. As keen gardeners we were itching to tidy round! We would still recommend this property to others due to the magnificent views from the property, it’s convenience to the hub of Dartmouth and having private parking.

16 Clarence Hill

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 16 Clarence Hill. Dartmouth is a great location and we had superb weather. 16 Clarence Hill is a lovely location with the property well maintained. It was really helpful to have a parking spot right where we were staying. The house remained cool in hot weather and it was a real bonus to have access to the secret garden and use of the BBQ. The property was very comfortable for 3 of us and our dog, clean and well catered for with a well equipped kitchen. It is also really well located for Dartmouth shops and restaurants to walk to in minutes. There are 2 nearby parks for dog walking. The only negative was that the house next door is presently covered in scaffolding. This didn't really obstruct the views from the house but it did make getting our car in and out of the relatively tight parking space (on a very narrow street) tricky. Dart Valley cottages only mentioned the scaffolding when I phoned them about something else a week before our stay, which was disappointing. We were however left a nice welcome gift I assume to compensate. Things to consider before staying here: 1. The house has a lot of stairs and could be challenging for anyone with physical difficulties, especially the spiral staircase up to the attic area and bathroom 2. Parking a large SUV in the parking spot would be very difficult. We managed OK with a small/medium SUV 3. If you want to park the car and walk everywhere this is a great and convenient location

Magical place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay, the view from the property is wonderful. Stayed over New Year and loved all the Christmas lights around the house and the champagne in the fridge! The house is so well designed it doesn’t appear so narrow, we loved it.

Fabulous house, perfect holiday

Everything about this place is perfect. The house is very special, huge for 2 of us and our doggy. Loved the views over Dartmouth and the 5 minute hop down the steps to handy M&S and the centre of lovely Dartmouth, and as for the beautiful garden... just WOW! We stayed during 'heatwave week' and the wonderful garden was a welcome place to recover from hot days out. The cactus-filled summer house is stunning, and although we didn't use it due to the amazing weather, I can imagine on rainy days it would be a great place to spend time - there are sun loungers, multiple seating areas, a BBQ and total privacy. Champagne and local goodies greeted us on arrival, we found plenty of supplies in cupboards - more often holiday lets have zero supplies- things like dishwasher tablets, bin bags, toilet rolls etc This is the nicest holiday home we've ever stayed in. Loved it!

Well positioned quirky house

This house has lots of great design features and benefits from a great central position overlooking Dartmouth town centre. The “secret garden” on the other side of the road was a real gem with great BBQ and indoor space available if the weather isn’t kind. There are a lot of steep steps in the house and the mezzanine bathroom at the top of the house is not for the feint hearted or young/old. The house is well provisioned and the table outside the front door was well used for breakfast and coffees. Our dog loved it too meeting all the neighbours and local dogs as they passed by.

16 Clarence Hill - Good standard cottage in a lovely town

The cottage was set over 3 floors with a further spiral stair up to a small bathroom above (gets you fit) Very well equipped kitchen and well furnished etc. Clarence Hill is a very narrow street (6 feet near the bottom) and still two-way, which is not really suited to wide cars. Unfortunately we scraped our car when parking in the allocated spot. So the access and parking are our negative but everything else was good. Dartmouth is a really quaint old town with plenty of good places to eat and drink and lovely scenery

Lovely stay.

We have stayed in the "skinny house" numerous times, the view is fantastic and with the addition of the lovely garden it is even nicer. Parking space is great too. We were lucky to have fabulous weather. Dartmouth is such a lovely place to stay.

Great Character House on a Prime Site

The house is very modern and comfortable - well appointed and furnished. Ideal postion - great views and close to all local amenities including M n S Foodhall and brarista coffee . There are three flights of stairs - those less mobile might find these a challenge but it's part of the character of the house. Parking is tight for anything medium sized and upward but we only used our car once during the week so not to much of and issue. The garden is an added bonus too. If you have a bus travel card then you can get pretty much anywhere. It's fun using the ferrires too. We have walked the Dart Valley trails and the are stunning. We will come back again.

Relaxing

16 Clarence Hill was the perfect place for us to catch up with old friends! Dartmouth is fabulous as a base for exploring Devon and the house itself was perfect for chilling with a glass of wine or two. The view from the living room is amazing and encourages you to just sit and relax. Sadly we only found the garden on the last day, I think information in the welcome pack as to where it is and the fact the gate isn't padlocked would have been extremely useful, but this didn't spoil our stay in the least. We will hopefully visit again!

Perfection

In ll the years we have been renting accommodation in England, this house has been far and away the best. From the beautifully designed house that defies expectation, to the welcome package which was abundant. This really is the most amazing place to stay, and i haven’t even mentioned the secret garden which is just , well, insanely beautiful! We will be back

Second stay at 16 Clarence Hill

This was our second stay and its in a great location, narrow street for driving but that's Dartmouth's charm! Carpet and/or stair gates at the top and bottom of the staircase leading to the bedrooms would be great, varnished wood on steep set of stairs is a bit slippery underfoot. Would recommend this place for your holiday.
