The hosts were fantastic... Breakfast was fantastic, the views were fantastic... the room and ensuite were very very very clean. We had everything we needed and more....
One suggestion would be a light near or over the mirror in the bedroom as it was difficult when using a hairdryer to style our hair...

We honestly couldn't fault our stay even if we tried. From start to end, the hosts were extremely accommodating and kind. They seemed to think of every little detail, making it a very lovely weekend. The view was also wonderful, and breakfast was delicious!

Beautiful room with a balcony from which you could see the town below and river. Very comfortable bed and well stocked tea making facilities. Good size bathroom with an excellent shower. We enjoyed the location above the town with a pretty walk down to the town and a good bus service back up the hill. Delicious breakfasts made by the welcoming hosts. Dartmouth was a friendly, attractive town with good pubs, shops and restaurants and a perfect location for touring by bus, ferries and steam train.
Tricky to find on arrival and location is on a steep and narrow road.

We felt very welcome. Our room and bathroom were beautiful and well taken care of. The view from our room was stunning. On the balcony the chairs were perfect for cosying up with a book. Breakfast was phenomenal and having it on our balcony was a delight. The location was ideal as it was a short walk down to the harbour. Our hosts were wonderful and full of information for holiday ideas.
Highly recommend a stay at Compass Rose!

Stunning views and very comfortable B/B. Just wish the weather had been better so we could have sat on the balcony. Great Breakfast.
Walk back up the hill from Town but worth it for the view
8.0 / 10.0
Comfortable room with a great view over Dartmouth. Very nice bathroom - very clean and new. Host was very welcoming.
Parking is a bit of a nightmare. We had to park our small car on a steep and narrow lane outside, hard to turn round. A large car blocked the entrance to the b&b which we had to squeeze past. But this is the geography of Dartmouth! Don't come in a large car.

The property’s location was exceptional. The views were stunning. The room was amazing and had a balcony that made the most of the views. There was a lot of attention to detail in the room with the hosts little decor touches as well as details on the map to help you find your way around.
Ann and Brendan were lovely hosts. Very helpful and friendly. They made the stay really enjoyable.
Breakfast was superb with a lot of choice to satisfy all tastes.
I will be recommending this property to friends and family and would definitely stay again.
The only negative (and this didn’t in any way impact the stay) was the plumbing. The taps in the sink made a loud noise and the cold tap in the shower came loose.

Delightful hosts.
Excellent communications, friendly and informative.
Wonderful room, clean, bright, very good quality throughout and then there's the amazing view!!
Very comfy bed with high quality bedding.
Breakfast was really excellent with plenty of choice of hot food. It was served on the balcony so we could sit out and enjoy the view.
We've already booked for next year but instead of 2 nights for a whole week. Loved it here.

Best view in all of Dartmouth. Charming place, made warm and inviting by lovely decor and personable hosts. The breakfast was INSANELY good. We were well taken care of at the Compass Rose. Ann also recommended some great walks and restaurants in the area which we appreciated. Had a great time!

Breakfast was lovely, nice choice and service was fantastic. A few more beans on the last day with regard to my full English breakfast would have made it perfect lol.
Nothing - the accommodation was great and our hosts made us very welcome and at ease.

What a beautiful place to stay. !
Ann and Brendan made us so welcome after a long arduous journey. Parked car close by and left it there for three days.
Fabulous room, glorious sun terrace where we had delicious continental breakfast one morning surrounded by a lovely garden and great views.
Bathroom spacious with every attention to detail to ensure an enjoyable stay.
Dining room breakfast equally lovely( have learnt a new way to cook poached eggs !!).
Parking for some might find it difficult? But we walked down to the town every day and took a local bus back up the hill in the afternoon/ evening- so convenient- drops you off at the top of the road the. A short walk downhill to the front door.

Despite using booking.com many times before and had some great stays away, I have never taken the effort to leave a review before.
However I feel with our experience of this stay it was well deserved.
On arrival we were greeted by the owners and lad to the decking overlooking Dartmouth rooftops and Bay and given an overview of Dartmouth and history along with a pot of tea (lovely touch).
Our room was coat and very high ended regards fittings etc..nothing was a problem and the hosts were exceptionally accommodating.
The room had a balcony with the same view as mentioned before and is stunning.
The breakfast was also a highlight and was freshly cooked to order and again sat out on the decking...amazing.
We always like to try new places and experiences however I would return back here.
I must also re emphasise how warming the the goats were...and finally great value as we only paid £135/ night which I thought was very very good value for money.

The location was ideal for us, a short walk down hill into town. But this may not suit everyone as the hills are quite steep. I did hear that the bus that travels around town does stop at the top of the hill so you could catch this and walk back on a flatter path.
The premises were to a very high standard and the owners were always available to answer questions and to be of assistance if required.
For us it was ideal. Nothing to dislike.

We loved the view over Dartmouth while sitting on the balcony. Breakfast was excellent and our hosts were lovely.
We did not mind the walk into Dartmouth center but navigating the steps and steep hillside may be tricky for some folk.

Breakfast was wonderful - a great choice of food , sitting on the balcony with lovely view of the River Dart.
The views were wonderful but to get to the property you have quite a climb from the town, so probably not suitable for someone with limited mobility.

This is a truly special place. Attention to detail at its highest with nothing being too much trouble. No matter what breakfast items we picked, they were all fabulous. The view over Dartmouth from the balcony’s was amazing. I felt really sad to leave it behind when we left.

Excellent greeting and attention to our needs throughout our stay. Brilliant breakfast on the lounge balcony. Enjoyed the bedroom balcony as well. The design and decor of the property reflects the creativity of the hosts.
The booking.com website needs to be more exact concerning the car parking and steep location. Neither of which would be a problem for younger people.
10.0 / 10.0
The property overlooked the hills, the estate and the harbour surrounding Dartmouth.
Ann’s breakfast was delicious and served on a beautiful balcony overlooking the stunning views.a
The only downside would be the very small tv in the room, although we weren’t in the room long enough to watch it.
