Excellent location.
4.0 / 10.0
Location was good and was very quiet. Shower was good. Bed was comfortable
no WiFi in room and hence no SmartTV either. Owner eventually admitted that there are ongoing issues with the broadband supplier despite initially appearing to be proactive in fixing the issue. Heating was timed to come on at 5pm which wasn't good as temperatures were sub zero during our stay. Again owner tried to fob us off by saying that it should have come on at 3pm but no effort was made to change the timing. There is no heating in the bathroom. Couple of minor issues with the cleaning prior to arrival such as someone else's sock on the bedroom floor and a bedside water bottle being left empty with the top off. I also received a number of bites overnight which suggests that the bed isn't hygienic. The flat is quite small and basic. I would suggest that it is suitable for a single person for a short stay who is ok with only having basic facilities, it is quite cramped for more than one person. Owner offered compensation at the time because of issues experienced and we were expecting a refund of some amount but that offer was then made as a discount for our next stay, as if we would ever stay there again

Great location-perfect
Confused by door entry system (probably me) and parking could be an issue

Excellent central, quiet location to explore Dartmouth.
Overnight parking is difficult - this is not a criticusm of the apartment it is just a fact of life in Dartmouth. If you are coming by car then be prepared to park some distance away from the apartment especially if you plan to park overnight.

Immaculate, great location, round the corner from all shops/restaurants and the seafront. Thoughts of thoughtful touches. Very comfortable bed!
Couldn’t get the WiFi or smart TV to work (but may have been my fault)

Stayed in room 3. Quite easy to find and parked on the nearby side street - 2 minute walk. Parking is free for 2 hours 9am-6pm so arriving at 5:30pm and leaving for work at 10am the following day was great. Darmouth front, which is beautiful, is a 5 minute walk away. The room is compact but modern and clean. I got a takeaway Indian meal from the Spice Merchant which was really nice and they gave me a disposable plate and cutlery.
The hallway outside the room, which is a very short distance from room 3 door, has an external door. This door is left unlocked constantly and as a lone, female traveller I felt somewhat unsafe. The door lock on room 3 is an oldish Yale lock which didn't look that secure so having no lock on the external door was a bit unnerving. I text, then called the number given should I have any complaints (to see if there was a key to the external door anywhere) but there was no response during my time there. One other minor complaint, currently there are 2 wall lights however a bedside lamp would be nice.

Location and room was great.
Parking is tricky in Dartmouth but that's no reflection on the place.

Nice location. Nice space.
There was hair on the floor in the bathroom. The sink and shower also had hair in it. Plus there was rubbish from a cream or toothpaste tube in the sink. The WiFi was spotty.

Bang in the middle of town so everything was just round the corner! Clean, cozy, and even supplied extra items such as a rucksack and picnic utensils. Had everything you’d expect and need :)

There is a lot of step to the top floor if you have a heavy case which I didn’t consider.

The location and the simplicity
It would have been nice to add the house number, or a description of where in the road it was. It’s a relatively long road and in bad weather it would’ve been a bit awkward to find as satnav took me to the middle of the road.

All as expected.

The owner’s advice
Very small room
8.0 / 10.0
Dual aspect windows - magnificent
Warm sunny private balcony - splendid
Light and airy.room - relaxing
Comfortable double bed mattress -very welcome
Warm apartment on arrival - thank you
Discovering physical door key - tick, MENSA pass!
Very poor::Wifi was woeful to the point of being useless
Totally unable to complete on line transaction.
Manageable, but advisory notification on Booking.com would be informative. Access to apartment requires climbing steep stairs and navigating a spiral staircase. For an elderly 71-year-old, this was a slow climb.
Similarly, a call out that street parking is required would have been appreciated. Not being a Dartmouth local, the general absence of parking is a surprise.

The room was very clean, reasonably equipped and the bed was nice and comfortable.
The room was smaller than expected and there were alot of steps up to the property, difficult for anyone with mobility difficulties or suitcases. The outside areas were in need of some TLC. Long stay parking was an issue.

Good location close to town centre and waterfront. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable. The room had a small private balcony.
The bath towels were a little small.

Good location in the middle of town. Free parking nearby although for limited times. Easy to find. Such a comfy bed! I had a great night's sleep. Lots of pillows, blankets, fluffy towels, power shower. Everything you might need is provided, including helpful touches such as charging cables. The host is available in case of problems and goes the extra mile to ensure a happy stay. Lots of comfort for the price point.
A little noisy due to other rooms to let in the same building with limited soundproofing. My neighbours were very considerate, but I could hear everything they said/did - and presumably they could hear the same from me...
Lots of steps up to the property, not a problem for me but can imagine might be tricky for others.

It was a lovely size room, very clean with all that you could need and more (fridge, corkscrew and picnic bag). The fresh flowers were a lovely touch. It was quiet as well. Brilliant value for money. We’ll definitely stay again.
Obviously no parking but it’s Dartmouth so expected. The main thing is that I checked for steps beforehand because I have bad knees. The answer I saw to the question was 12 steps up the spiral staircase. However there’s also about the same amount leading up from the pavement, which are a little deep, although there is a handrail. I managed them (easier going up than down for me) and it wouldn’t stop me returning but something to be aware of for some people.

Thoughtful touches like picnic bag.
Place was clean and bed comfortable. The shower was also powerful even if small space. Location suited is although it was a little noisy in the evening. Great to have a balcony.
I would add some herbal teas and shower/hair products.
Noise from outside at night from the pubs

Lovely and clean. Everything I needed for a nights stay and in a great location.
Personally I thought the shower cubicle a little fiddly and small.

Location was great, only a few minutes walk to pubs, restuarants and shops
Neglected gardens. Pulling a few weeds and dead plants would help. Such a shame as the seating area is well situated and secluded.
