About this apartment rental
Bayards is a fantastic base for a self-catering holiday in the centre of historic Dartmouth - either a short break or longer. This well-appointed first-floor apartment is perfect for two couples sharing or a small family - with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a good-sized living space. Pets are welcome, too. You're just a short stroll from the riverside, eclectic shops, chic restaurants, and cosy inns. River rides and ferries take you to the Dart Valley's picturesque villages and coves beyond.
Accommodation:
A flight of internal stairs lead to the front door and hallway from where all rooms are accessed. At the far end of the hall, the light and airy open-plan living space with sofas, TV and a DVD player. The dining area comfortably seats four. The well-equipped kitchen has a gas oven and hob, fridge-freezer, and washing machine.
There are two bedrooms - an en-suite double room with a shower and WC and a twin bedroom with two single beds. There's also a family bathroom with a large walk-in shower.
There's central heating throughout.
There is no garden for exercising dogs, but you are only a short walk from the South West Coast Path. There's also Coronation Park on the North Embankment which is popular with dog owners.

Having been to Dartmouth many times we were so pleased with the property, the location was excellent and so comfortable. Definitely stay there again

Very happy with the accommodation. Very clean and presentable. Good location near to lots of cafes and eateries. Communication excellent.

It's a shame I feel this property and our experience needs a mixed review.
Overall the flat inside was as stated in the listing and the rooms were all spacious and met what we immediately needed and the location was ideal for exploring Dartmouth.
However a few things made the stay much less comfortable/enjoyable than I'd like.
When we first entered the front door we were greeted with the smell of someone else's rotting garbage left inside. Contacted Dart Valley cottages who informed us it should be picked up outside. We had to sort out getting this large amount of rubbish outside and unfortunately (possibly due to the heat) the bin smell lingered inside for the entirety of our stay.
I've stayed with many other self-catered holiday accommodations and it's fairly normal to expect some kind of welcome pack, with maybe milk coffee/tea to get you started, but nothing was given. Also a lot of the kitchen items we needed to use were left and put back in cupboards dirty or greasy, which was a shame.
Also the DVD player didn't work.

I just read a review of Bayards Apartment from July last year. I wish I’d read it before I booked. Nothing has changed in ten months.
My heart sank on arrival, tatty front door which needs painting, a big weed and rubbish at front step, broken cover on key safe, front door left on the latch. I stepped inside to see a communal hall and stairway which clearly hadn’t been vacuumed. There were also two “gull proof” rubbish bags, the one for our apartment contained smelly unbagged rubbish. Surely these should be outside?
Upstairs on the first floor is Bayards Apartment, inside it looked ok, however on closer inspection I found I had to wash enough glasses, plates and cutlery for our needs, as they were a bit grubby. There was no welcome pack, wherever else we’ve stayed had one. We only used the kettle and toaster so I can’t comment on the cooker and washing machine - but why no dishwasher?
On the plus side the beds were comfy and the linen spotless. The double bed was small so I decided to sleep in one of the singles, that was comfortable and also had lovely linen.
The furniture is a bit outdated, in the style of “Teak G Plan” good quality though.
The location is good, on the level, one street back from the river, close to shops, pubs, restaurants and boat trips.
I contacted Dart Cottages twice during our three night stay, they said they were working on putting things right.
