  • "34 Dart Marina was a wonderful apartment excellently equipped to a very high standard."

    The outlook from the lounge was fabulous with constant movement on the river Dart. The kitchen bedrooms and bathrooms leave nothing to be desired, everything has been thought of. I would have no hesitation in recommending this 5 star apartment and feel you will not find better. I would like to ask the owner to provide a bath mat as the shower is very slippery when wet and with no wall bars makes it difficult for older people to exit the shower safely. I would like to thank Coast & Country cottages for their help in arranging our stay. Will look forward to returning again Mike &Bobbie Winterford

    Thank you for your feedback. I am please you enjoyed your stay. I will get bath mats and thank you for your suggestion. Property Owner

  • "This apartment and setting was absolutely stunning."

    We loved our time here. The views from the apartment over the river did not disappoint. Two huge bathrooms and good sized bedrooms were perfect for a group of four. Although top floor there is a good sized and quick lift in the block which was perfect for my 79 year old mum who struggles with stairs. The car parking space is also right outside of the block. Good to see tea towels, dish scourer, a few dishwasher tabs and other cleaning items available within the property. The location was perfect for us, a short flat walk away from numerous shops and restaurants, alongside ferry access. We felt very safe at night walking around and even had drinks at the hotel next door which was handy. A nice quiet area. We would definitely recommend this place and will return.

    Thank you for your comments. Pleased you enjoyed your holiday and will return. Property Owner

  • "This was our second visit to this lovely property, and we have booked again for next year."

    It is easily accessible. The car parking space is right outside and there is a lift to the property which is all on one level on the second floor. The view is exactly as in the photograph and, while the balcony is fairly small, the windows fold right back so that the whole room becomes part of the balcony. It is well equipped and comfortable. In our opinion it is the best property in this development.

    Thank you for your comments, glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

    A very few things that could be improved Disappointing that there was no kettle on arrival Also that the fridge was switched off The shower door in the en-suite does not close properly The shower control is also very stiff The hair dryer in the main bedroom was filthy There is an electrical fault on the main bedroom lights - when the en-suite light are switched on the bedroom light flickers The information folder needs updating Apart from that we had a lovely time

    I am sorry you had these problems. I was informed the kettle was leaking and had been replaced with a new item. The fridge freezer is brand new and should have been on for your arrival. I will check on the shower door and the shower control. The hair dryer is an oversight, again I will see that it is checked. I will also test the lights. The information folder will be updated next month. Despite the issues I am glad you had a lovely holiday. Property Owner

    The apartment is fabulous in every way. Loved the quiet location, the furniture and fittings and most of all the wonderful view from the lounge window. Everything very tasteful and very well equipped, particularly appreciated the close parking space and the lift. It really was just as enjoyable staying in as going out! Would love to return in the future.

  • "We had a very enjoyable Autumn break at 34 Dart Marina, however our experience with Coast and Country Cottages was disappointing."

    A prior request for non-biological laundry of linen met with a negative response and the only solution offered was for us to bring our own towels and bed linen...not a wholly satisfactory situation when booking a high-end property. Communications with Coast and Country were less than helpful…key collection and directions to the property were not straightforward…closing times of the office were not given, emails were sent during our stay, and telephone calls made to our home landline, neither of which were received until our return. Cleanliness and maintenance were also disappointing...weeds growing on balcony...silverfish in bath and shower. The controls in the walk-in shower are practically impossible to use with wet hands. Overall, however we had a very comfortable stay at 34 Dart Marina and the view from the balcony was outstanding. We hope to return to Dartmouth in the future as there is so much more to see and do in such a lovely area. We would not hesitate to stay at 34 Dart Marina again, but would expect an improved, more customer-focused approach from Coast and Country Cottages.

  • "Our second stay in this beautiful apartment directly overlooking the River Dart."

    It's supremely comfortable, well maintained, expensively furnished and extensively equipped. A real home from home. It's mesmerising to sit in front of the large bifold doors, or even open them up and go onto the balcony and take in the view of all the river traffic, boats and people pottering about. There's always something happening. In fact we've never even used the television and the books that we've taken with us have remained unread because we just want to look at that view. Likewise we self cater despite the excellent choice of eating places in Dartmouth. The kitchen is a pleasure to cook in and it's an easy, flat walk to M&S where you can buy all the provisions that you need. With parking right outside the apartment block and a lift right to the front door, it's so easy too to bring whatever you might need from home. In summary, a wonderful place to stay and it's all about the view.

    Thank you for your response. Glad you enjoy Dartmouth and the flat. Property Owner

  • "The apartment was extremely well appointed with excellent beds, comfortable lounge furniture, and an amazing view."

    However a grab rail in the shower cubicle would make it much safer especially for older people, and due to the size of the spacious lounge, it would be a huge improvement to have a larger TV. The attitude of the handling agents leaves room for improvement.

    Thank you. I note your recommendations and see what we can do. I am sorry the attitude of the handling agents did not meet with your expectations. It is a matter I will address. Property Owner

  • "This apartment was in an amazing spot."

    The view is just incredible and provides a wonderful window in which to watch the world pass by. Very minor points it was very impersonal and stark - none of the usual trimmings in holiday homes that enhance your stay - books, games, binoculars even given the location etc - those thoughtful touches that turn great into brilliant. (We are serial renters for 30+ years) The cupboards were also bare - no sugar(I did leave some for the next guests) one coffee pod, no oil (things like herbs etc that make it feel that there is a community of people enjoying the house and wanting to share) no rubbish bags or even a handful of dishwashing tabs and very cheap loo roll. And my husband’s keen nose felt that the towels smelt. As I say it is these small touches that can be easily delivered that really can elevate a property easily. We love Dartmouth and had a lovely stay - thank you.

    Thank you for your comments. There should be the basics already in the flat to start you off for the week and we aim to provide dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, hand soap dispensers, loo roll, kitchen roll and pedal bin liners. Some books are now added and more will come later. Binoculars are in the flat and I will make sure they are more obvious. The towels are professionally and thoroughly laundered, perhaps too thoroughly but it is better to have them as clean as possible for the next guests. I am glad you enjoyed your stay and Dartmouth is indeed a great place. Property Owner

  • "Firstly the apartment itself is very impressive."

    We were lucky enough to stay during a week of solid sunshine and the quality of everything in the apartment (and attached complex)and the sunny views over the marina from the lounge/small balcony had a definate wow factor! As a family of 4 we also found the location to be perfect-out of the hussle of the main town traffic system but easy walking distance to all the facilities we needed. This really is a special place and if youre thinking of booking, do it! The only gripe i had was with the helpfulness (or not) of the handling agent on our day of arrival but as long as you dont need to deal with them other than picking up keys you'll be fine.

    I am glad you enjoyed your stay at the Dart Marina. The handling agent apologises for not being as helpful as you would have wished. It will not happen again. Property Owner

  • "This is a great apartment with lovely views, light and airy interiors and an adjacent parking spot of a standard size."

    Access to Dartmouth's centre is all level, with a roomy lift in the apartment building. Facilities are good, beds very comfortable, and everything was spotless. We had 2 issues during our stay hence the 4 stars and not 5. The first has been mentioned on another review, there is a strong and significant draft that comes down the chimney and up through a grid in the floor of the living room. Any heating that is on will not help with this! The fire is for display only so we were able to block off the opening to prevent the draft somewhat, but this really needs attention. The second issue was that we were unable to change the heating for a day and a half after arrival, as the control touchscreen had been locked with a PIN, presumably by another guest. Contacting the local Coast and Country on Sunday diverted us to Sykes head office. They did call back later, but a fix was not available until the Monday am when a call from the local office to the Caretaker resolved the problem in moments as he had online access to the system. This seems to be a bit of a procedural fail, the on-call head office obviously doesn't have access to local contacts. We would happily stay here again, as I am sure the chimney situation will be resolved. And the response from Coast and Country when they were open on the Monday was immediate and helpful.

    Thank you for your feedback. We will get the draft problem checked out and find a remedy. We have changed the heating controls so that a PIN cannot be used by guests. I will discuss emergency cover with Coast & Country who always try to provide a first class service. We are glad you enjoyed the flat as we do our best to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The property

34 Dart Marina is a roomy and contemporary second-floor apartment in Dartmouth, Devon, with a balcony enjoying the beautiful views of the River Dart.

34 Dart Marina is the ideal location for a fabulous getaway in Devon for two couples or a family of four, since it not only has wonderful views but is also close to many of South Devon's attractions and landmarks.

A broad staircase or wide lift leads directly to the property, which has its own parking spot as well as additional guest parking and is only a short walk from the town centre.

The apartment features a spacious entry hall, with a convenient coat cupboard, that leads to a fantastic living/dining area with bi-fold doors that open onto a balcony with wonderful river views.

The living/dining area features contemporary furnishings such as sleek seating, feature fireplace, along with a Smart TV; the perfect place for unwinding after a day of sightseeing!

A circular wood table adequately sits four people, but can easily be expanded to seat six people if you want to have company.

The fabulous kitchen is adjacent and also has river views, as well as white Poggenpohl units and a variety of appliances such as a handy washer/dryer and a Bosch Tassimo coffee maker (requiring Tassimo coffee pods).

In the evening, retire to the master suite, which features a top-of-the-line Hypnos super-king-size zip/linked bed with summer and winter duvets depending on the season, built-in storage, and its own Smart TV.

The completely tiled en-suite bathroom features both a bath and a separate walk-in shower cubicle, giving you plenty of options for getting ready for the day ahead!

The second bedroom is close by and has the same Hypnos super-king-size zip/linked bed as the master, as well as its own Smart TV.

The bedrooms boast Egyptian cotton linen and towels, whilst tea towels and oven gloves are provided.

Just across the hallway is a superb bathroom with a bath and shower over.

Dartmouth benefits from spectacular coastal walks and beautiful nearby beaches alongside the buzz of the vibrant town centre, which is filled with pretty ancient narrow walkways, boutique shops, art galleries, a huge selection of delicatessens, cafés, bars and restaurants; it is equally appealing in the winter as it is in the summer.

Dartmouth stages events such as the Music Festival in May, the Regatta in August, the Food Festival in October and Candlelit Dartmouth in December, whilst the Flavel (Arts) Centre has an ever-changing programme of live events and cinema.

The River Dart can also be explored by taking a steamboat trip to the mouth of the river or by taking a ferry upstream to Dittisham or Greenway, Agatha Christie’s summer residence.

For golf lovers, the Dartmouth Hotel Golf and Spa is close by and features an 18 hole Championship Golf Course (Tee times and spa treatments can be booked directly with the hotel - membership isn’t required).

There's much more to see and do in the surrounding region, including the wonderful towns of Paignton, Blackpool Sands, and Brixham, where plenty of activities wait!

Treat your loved ones to an amazing stay at 34 Dart Marina.

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.
