About this cottage rental

Lily Cottage is a charming character home tucked away in a quiet corner but close to the town centre. This much-loved cottage is finished to an extremely high standard – from muted tones to the breezily nautical - and has a good-sized garden with rattan furniture. Lily Cottage is an easy, level walk into town and the riverside. Ideally set up for a romantic stay for a couple or for small family holidays – pets are welcome, too. A parking permit is provided for the nearby car park.


Accommodation:

The property is accessed via a small step approaching the front door. There is a hallway with room for coats and boots with access to the shower room with an electric shower, electrically heated towel rail, toilet and wash basin.

Through to the cosy living room with sofa and armchairs, Freesat TV, soundbar, a DVD player and Sonos Bluetooth speaker. Limed oak-effect floor, wooden plantation shutters, electric wood burner-effect fire and underfloor heating.

At the rear of the property is the galley kitchen, complete with an electric double oven, small fridge with freezer, built-in fan heater, painted dresser, butler sink and small dishwasher.

Four deep steps lead up from the kitchen into a bright and airy dining room with a vaulted ceiling. Again, with lime oak effect flooring with underfloor heating, dining table, seating for six, sideboard and a wood burner with cosy seating beside.

From the kitchen, there is a narrow staircase which takes you to the first floor, where you will find the two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed, built-in wardrobe, plantation shutters, limed effect floors and a freestanding electric radiator.

The second bedroom has a day bed that can be extended to make a double or twin. Again, with a built-in wardrobe and limed-effect floors.

Please be aware of the traditional nature of this old fisherman's cottage. A steep staircase may cause access issues for certain guests, and - being an old cottage - the ceiling heights and door frames are low.

There's underfloor and electric heating and a wood burner for comfort.


Outside:

Across the footpath from the front door, there is a fair-sized enclosed garden. A private space which is a lovely suntrap on a summer's afternoon. The rattan furniture is on a decked area, and past the deck is a further slate shingle area with mature shrubs.

It is possible to briefly park close to the cottage to unload.



Parking:

The car park pass provided is valid for the Mayors Avenue Car Park, a 2-minute walk away. The permit does not guarantee a parking space, and it can get very busy during the summer and special events, such as the Royal Regatta week (during which the car park is closed). The permit is also valid for the Park & Ride facility at the top of town.

Sadly , we found Lily Cottage quite dark and gloomy and very chilly , although the shower room was always warm . We felt the worst thing was the fact that it was so dark , particularly the kitchen . It wasn't the cosy place that was nice to go back to after a day outside . We wouldn't go there again and wouldn't recommend it to friends. Of course , it may seem quite different on a warm summers day but even then , the area wasn't particularly nice and there were no views at all . Everything was very clean though and the milk , coffee, tea and biscuits was a nice touch .

There were a number of problems with this cottage particularly the bathroom. The toilet had a drainage smell, probably due to a poor connection of the WC to the drainage system. No toilet brush to keep the toilet clean. Mould was evident on wall tiles in the toilet area and the extractor fan was very noisy and ineffective. The shower cubicle had clearly been previously damaged, with the sliding doors subsequently removed and replaced by a shower curtain. There was also mould in the main bedroom corner cupboard/wardrobe and on the same wall on the ground floor lounge. Furthermore, the dining room underfloor heating did not work. The cottage was generally clean, however, we were welcomed by a slow worm on the kitchen floor and on the day we left a slug also on the kitchen floor. Given the problems encountered we felt the property was overpriced.

We had a wonderful few days staying in Lily Cottage, which was in great location for exploring the delights in and around Dartmouth. The interior of Lily Cottage was tastefully decorated with a nautical theme with some fascinating objet d'art. The beds were extremely comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped with a beautiful dining area for romantic meals in. As with all old cottages in Dartmouth, the stairs up to the bedrooms were very steep and may be difficult for guests with mobility issues.

House with character in a great location. Lack of parking space manageable and more than made up for by rest.
