"The shower was backing up so we stopped using it, we meant to mention this when we left."
Other than that you could not fault this amazing apartment, have booked to go again.
Very sorry to hear about the shower upstairs backing up - we will arrange for this problem to be sorted asap. Glad to hear it didn't spoil your holiday and look forward to you coming again Property Owner

"We had a lovely stay at 42,Dart Mariner Apartment (Excellent) Very clean tidy and comfortable everything you need is threre."
There is also a Lift if needed. A little gripe is the balcony doors could do with some maintenance as they were slightly hard to close and lock. This was our second visit to Dart Mariner the Location is superb. The pop up bar and the floating bridge pub were excellent.The beer and the fish and chips were perfect. 7minute walk into town for boat trips Shopping and M.S food.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at No 42 and hopefully looking forward to seeing you again. We are going down shortly for maintenance and will look into the problem with the balcony doors. Property Owner

"Showing its age now."
The WiFi is Dreadful & so annoying. The showers back up! Noises with trades people shouting & banging outside from about 6am. There are now nicer places to stay in Dartmouth. Shame. But we won’t be back.

"Great property and we had a lovely week Positives - great location, parking, was able to charge my car via the hotel, quick response from maintenance (bathroom light wasn’t working), checked in slightly earlier (always a bonus), property was wonderful Feedback - internet is poor, this isn’t a nice to have anymore, it's expected and should be improved asap."
For anyone staying then I cheated by logging on to the hotel WiFi which was much faster
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at 42. Regarding the problem with the WiFi, a full fibre connection is being installed shortly . Property Owner

"This apartment has everything you need."
I'm glad to see that it had a bigger than normal fridge freezer which was important to us as we took a lot of our own food, so many of these apartments on the complex only have an under the counter fridge. Very clean and well maintained. The only downside was that there were no cooking dishes that could go in the oven, maybe a couple could be added to the kitchen, especially for the colder months when maybe you want to cook something warming.
Thank you for your feedback - we are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at 42 & appreciated our new fridge freezer. We will certainly invest in cooking dishes as you suggested for visitors to use winter months. Property Owner

"Sky package is very limited."
Please note sky connection setting is HDMI 1,not HDMI 2 as stated in information pack. We have stayed in many holiday accommodation in South Hams and this ranks as one of the best.We are likely to return in the future
Many thanks for your feedback and we look forward to seeing you again soon. We are looking into doing an upgrade to the TV equipment Property Owner

Thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your holiday and hope to see you gain soon Property Owner

"We stayed at 42 Dart Marina from 21st to 28th June."
We were lucky that we had good weather. As soon as we arrived (after a long journey), we felt immediately comfortable. The accommodation was of a very high standard, well equipped and very clean. The view from the living room Juliet balcony was great. The gap in the roofline of the houses opposite meant that we had a clear view of the steam train and the ferry. We had a lovely holiday. Dartmouth has plenty to explore. We hope to return and would definitelly choose 42 Dart Marina.
Thank you so much for your comments - it is really good to hear you had such a good time. We love Dartmouth too Property Owner

"As usual, apartment clean & comfortable."
However, as regular users, feel that guests should be given a choice re weight & Tog rating of the duvets. We found 10.5 tog duvets on the beds which, in our opinion, are far too hot for use in Summer months. Suggest thinner duvets provided to use, if preferred.
Thank you for your feedback - we are so pleased to hear you are a regular visitor. Regarding the issue of the duvet being too hot, we are purchasing a 4.5 Tog duvet for use in the summer months Property Owner

"Excellent apartment."
Very welcoming, cosy and everything you could need. We had a very enjoyable stay.
So glad you had a good time. There are still things to do in Dartmouth in the winter - just one of the reasons we like it there Property Owner

"Fabulous apartment in great location ( a flat walk into Dartmouth) also near a lovely pub the Floating Bridge No complaints whatsoever and would certainly return and recommend."
We are very pleased to hear you had a good stay and we also love the Floating Bridge pub Property Owner
-
"In the visitors book, the owners, invite suggestions for improvement."
We keep returning at least once a year and have only one suggestion to make which is that summer-weight duvets are provided during warmer months, thus giving visitors a choice between the existing 10.5tog duvets and for example, 4.5 tog.
Thanks for your feedback. Lightweight duvets are on the way Property Owner

Fabulous apartment in a great location and near a lovely little pub ‘The Floating Bridge’ would definitely recommend
We re so glad you liked the apartment and had a good time. Everyone loves the Floating Bridge - best to get there early if you want to eat on busy days Property Owner

"We’ve stayed in several of the Dart Marina properties with Coast and Country over the last 15 years and this has to be up there with the best."
Some of them are in need of a refresh but this one is utterly superb. It’s clear the owners are keen to impress guests and make us feel as comfortable as possible. The property felt fresh and welcoming and instantly you feel at home. Impossible to ever tire of the view! We will most definitely return to this property again soon, we won’t feel the need to look anywhere else. Really well done!

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 42 Dart Marina and are hoping to return again."
The property was lovely and most comfortable. We have no complaints whatsoever. The only things I would mention are that the door was little difficult to unlock. Once we had mastered the technique by pulling the door towards you then that was fine. The other thing being that the doorbell did not work. It just meant that when my husband went out on a few errands without the key he could not alert me to let him in and had ring my mobile phone. These are not complaints just a couple of things which may need a little attention. I certainly left things in very good order before we left, i.e, disinfecting the rubbish bins, wiping out the fridge and washing all of the oven trays. Not that we had used them because we did eat out rather consistently. It was lovely because of the situation of No.42 we did still have a small view of the river. Most enjoyable and thank you again because we would happily return.

"Third time we have visited the complex different accommodation each time always found it excellent"
-
"This apartment has absolutely everything you need for a great holiday ."
-
"Maybe think about advising that there are quite a few steps to carry the luggage from the car parking space to the apartment especially if slightly inferm & you pack the kitchen sink like we do."
The property itself is very comfortable & a lovely place to stay.

"Excellent property would definitely recommend."
Good provisions and facilities.

"Hi, We felt it was a great place to stay."
It is very well equipped. The beds are very comfortable. Pillows not as comfy and the duvet was strange as it was two single ones put into the cover sideways but that really didn’t detract from our stay. Lovely and quiet but that could be the time of year and so much to do both in Dartmouth and nearby. The only thing I have marked the cleanliness bit down was I felt the bathroom floor were sticky. A helpful point is when you have the main lights in the left hand bedroom as you look at them on full they flicker badly. All in all a lovely place to stay. Thank you.

"Very well appointed comfortable apartment in an excellent location for strolling into Dartmouth and visiting other places by car."
We particularly enjoyed watching the steam train and river ferry from the balcony.
We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay at our holiday apartment - we too enjoy watching the train and the ferry. Many thanks for the lovely review! Property Owner

"Apartment very spacious, comfortable and nicely furnished."
Lovely big beds and the bathrooms were great. The open plan living and kitchen area was really spacious and a pleasure to sit in and the view from the Juliet balcony was lovely. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything we needed. The location was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay.
We are very happy that you had a great stay in our holiday apartment - thank you for your kind review - do come & visit us again Property Owner

"A beautiful apartment, very tastefully decorated."
The new fridge freezer is a great addition to the already excellent facilities of the accommodation. Coast and Country are very easy to deal with and most helpful whenever I called them. Thank you for an excellent holiday home!
Thank you for your feedback and we are very glad you enjoyed your stay. We are very pleased that you liked the new fridge freezer which we hope will prove to be useful in the summertime!! Property Owner

"As a family of four we had a fabulous stay, apartment had everything we needed, so clean and comfortable."
Walking distance to all amenities and a lovely pub. Stones throw away from the ferry which gave us quick access to other beautiful parts of Devon too. We loved it! Thankyou 42 Dart Marina. X
Thank you for your kind review on our apartment and we are very pleased that you had a good stay. We too love Dartmouth (and the nearby pub) and we hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

"Easy to check in/ key collection and return."
How the accommodation looks and is described on the Web site was exactly how it was. Great location, great style and comfort and very friendly staff from start to finish. First time I have used this company but it want be my last.
Thanks for your kind comments and we hope to see you again very soon. Property Owner

"The apartment was great."
Sadly the fridge is rather small and needs replacing as the freezer section does not work. The frost builds up very quickly as you cannot close the door. This happened in apartment 45 as well when we stayed there last year. We mentioned this last year and this year. The response was that the previous occupant did not close the door properly. Unfortunately the fridges are old. We stayed in the apartments at least 15 years ago when they were relatively new. Fridges don’t go on forever!!!!
Thank you for your comments on the fridge. In view of these and other comments on the fridge and need for a freezer, we are happy to say a new & larger fridge/freezer is now in place. Property Owner

For the money we paid i would of liked linen change mid week we would have been happy to bag the old up and receive fresh as it was during covid the exit regime was too rigorous - not unreasonable to bin bag anything left over not have to take everything to bin we left at 8pm night before check out due to this the apartment was lovely and relaxing due to the view

"Great location for exploring Dartmouth, good for paddle boarding, walks & fishing."
Lovely views with a modern and simple layout for a grown up family of 4. Beds split as requested and oven cleaned, thank you. The only improver would be a more thorough pre-clean vacuum.
Thank you for your kind comments on our property. We are pleased you had a good time paddle boarding, fishing, walking, etc. Dartmouth is a lovely area for these and many other activities. We have taken up the issue of the pre clean with the cleaning company. Property Owner

"We were perfectly happy with Sykes in general, However on arrival we were early and it started some light rain."
At 20 minutes to four we found ourselves near your office and I decided to call in to see if we could get the keys early. I was advised that they didn't know if the cleaning had been finished and that we should go to the Marina, park the car in the alloted space and walk back. It seemed to me that if the cleaning wasn't finished the cleaner may well be parked in our alloted space and walking back in rain also wasn't too appealing and I had to be a little forceful in requesting that this be checked now while I was at your office. The office staff were pleasant about it and did as I requested and we got the keys early. By the time we got in the appartment it was 4 pm anyway and I shouldn't have really had to force the issue. The appartment was generally well cleaned and quite satisfactory but the oven was far from that and we had to do some cleaning before we felt it could be used and even then we bought a roll of kitchen foil to place food on as it really needed a deep clean. Even then, when the oven was in use it emitted an unpleasant odour which appeared to be a mix of differant foods that it had previously hosted. We also noticed in other reviews that the condition of the oven had been previously mentions which doesn't instill confidence. Although the description does not state there is a freezer when paying the top end of the price range it is normal to expect a freezer, especially when the fridge is also smaller than average small fridge with only two selves and the top section taken up by an ice box. If we had been a family with children we could have been in trouble. Never the less we really enjoyed our stay at Dart Marina and were very comfortable at number 42. We would deffinately use Sykes again.
Thank you for your comments. We are sorry you had a difficult start to your holiday with getting access to the property. The cleaners have been informed about the oven and, in addition, we have arranged for the oven to be cleaned with a professional oven cleaning company shortly to rectify any remaining problems. Regarding the comments about the fridge we are looking at whether there is space in the property to provide a small freezer. We are glad, however, you enjoyed your stay and were very comfortable in No 42. Kind regards the owners. Property Owner

"Dartmouth is a beautiful location but can be busy during the day."
However, 42 Dart Marina is away from the hustle and bustle in a quiet location with beautiful views from the living room over the river Dart. All amenities are close by with the added bonus of a wonderful flat walk from the Marina to Bayards Cove a wonderful place to sit and watch the world go by. I would recommend this property to anyone wanting a peaceful holiday close to the sea.
Thank you for your kind comments on our property and we fully agree that Dartmouth is a wonderful holiday location Kind regards the owners. Property Owner

"Access is at the rear and lift light was not working (total darkness) Oven base needed cleaning En suite floor not cleaned Some glasses need replacing The original booking was for June 2020 which had to be cancelled due to COVID, carrying it forward to May 2021 resulted in an exorbitant 16% increase in the charge for the week."
The marina and parking are good.
Thank you for your comments. The issue of the lift light was taken up with the Dart Marina Hotel and has been rectified. Cleaning issues have also been taken up with those concerned and the glasses provided will be checked and restocked as necessary. Regarding the price increase since last year, Coast & Country Cottages set fees depending on market conditions. One of the reasons for higher costs this year is provisions for Covid compliance. We hope you had a good holiday and look forward to seeing you again. Kind regards the owners. Property Owner

About the location
DARTMOUTH
Totnes 12 miles.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
