• "5th time at Gooder House and we absolutely love it."

  Clean comfortable and everything there that you need to enjoy your stay. The kitchen is really well stocked with all the kitchen equipment you will need if you’re planning to cook and eat in. The position is great as two minutes down the hill you’re in the middle of town with shops restaurants and pubs.

• "Excellent property really enjoyed our stay, great location and facilities."

  Kitchen well appointed, plenty of dishes, glasses etc. Couple of points for future guests, if guests are expected to put bedding and towels in black bin bags can they be provided and batteries need replacing in the automatic bin and velux remote, only 5 seat pads for outside chairs.

• "Fabulous property with great facilities."

  Amazing views from upstairs. My fairly large Landrover Freelander fitted in garage with a few inches to spare so maybe worth mentioning a biggish car will fit. Only very minor suggestions would be to provide shower gel and kitchen roll. Would love to stay again, great location and works perfectly with 2 Labrador sized dogs. We didn’t cook but everything was provided if needed. Lovely small outside area also. Everything is of a very high quality throughout the property. Beds are very comfortable .

• "We had a great stay in Gooder House."

  It was very nicely decorated and the kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of hot water. We were a group of 5 adults and two Labradors and there was ample room for us all. If travelling with dogs you can access the tiled kitchen & dining area via a side door and don’t have to worry about wet or sandy dogs on the carpet! The car park was large enough for an Audi A3 hatchback. The lanes up to Above Town are narrow and best approached via the Crowther Hill end and there is a turning area 30m after the house. We would certainly recommend Gooder House to others.

• "Hot water didn't work, heating didn't work, no tumble dryer - so took two loads of wet clothes home with us, coffee machine didn't work, got concussion from the overhang on the way up the first flight of stairs - no warning or padding in place, scratched car on the super narrow road to property when dropping of luggage, downstairs bedroom smelled of damp."

  We have stayed in Dartmouth twenty times in ten years and would never stay here again.

• "I discovered that the sliding door of shower room next to the back door had become detached from the runners."

  The Maintenance chap tried his best but this is a job requiring the pelmet to the door to removed to rectify this and therefore we had to put up with the door being permanently open the whole 2 weeks of our holiday. It was also noticed that the door to the kitchen from the hall drags on the floor, it was like this 2 years ago! In fact most of the doors don't shut shut correctly and need some maintenance. The family bathrooms fan struggles and is either in need of a clean or the bearings worn out. The TV in the dining room and the main bedroom have only a few usable channels. They either need to be connected to the home WiFi so they can be used with streaming channels or connected to the BT TV. Despite this we really love this rental and the rest of the facilities make up for the shortfalls with the garage parking being the cherry on the bun.

• "Gooder house is a fabulous place to stay in Dartmouth."

  It was spotless, nicely furnished and really well-equipped. The kitchen/diner and upstairs lounge are really lovely bright spaces and even though the outside space isn’t very big it gets some lovely sunshine much of the day.

  A great space for families to enjoy. The kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were so comfy. Garage was very useful and it is a steep hill but the views are worth it. Would love to return. Thank you.

• "The property is great."

  Good location, easy access down the hill into town and the garage is the clincher for us. We have stayed at Gooder House quite a few times now, in spring, summer and winter. The dodgy water supply this visit was a bit inconvenient but out of your control and the water bottles were much appreciated. The only downside was that on arrival the heating thermostat was set to 13C! We assumed the property had not been used for some time and no thought was given to making the house comfortable for us. My husband was able to adjust the thermostat but the house was freezing cold for several hours until a decent temperature was reached. The loft radiator remained cold so we had to bleed it ourselves to get heat upstairs. We would have expected the heating to have been checked before we arrived! Other than that, we had a good time.

  Beautifully furnished and well equipped. We were very comfortable as 6 adults and a small dog. Great position on Above Town. Have already booked again. One smallnote, the shower in the main en suite bedroom doesn't flow very effectively but it wasn't much of an inconvenience.

• "Gooder House is an absolute gem."

  The owners have done everything they can to ensure guests feel comfortable and at home. The furnishings and fittings are top quality and the interior decor is very coastal chic. This was probably the best equipped holiday property we have ever booked, all that was missing was some means of drying clothes - the airier having been sadly broken by a previous occupant. It was very difficult to leave at the end of a fabulous week in Dartmouth. Thank you for sharing your wonderful holiday home.

• "Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gooder House."

  The house itself is very well equipped & a perfect location to the town & local amenities. Loved the split levels as it meant our party of 6 wern't tripping over each other. The garage even housed our Citroen Grand C4 Picasso, despite being listed as only suitable for a small car :-) Staff on arrival were extremely pleasant & helpful. Would definitely recommend!!!!

• "The owners and agents were very kind and accommodating with our disruptive travel plans due to Storm Franklin."

  The facilities are impressive and of good quality, making for a comfortable and relaxing stay. My husband raved about how comfortable the bed was and slept very well. The social spaces have a great flow and the house also allows for everyone to have their own privacy. I would highly recommend this property.

  The bed was extremely comfy, the house was cosy with very homely feel and the views to the river were lovely.The location was good only 5 minute walk to the shops and river. We were concerned about wether the Toyota Rav 4 would fit in the garage but it did just, in case anyone like us wondering if their car will fit, and such a bonus to have that facility. There is nothing you should need whilst staying in Gooder house its perfect. Hopefully we can stay there again one day.

• "Beautiful cottage perfect location."

  Everything you need! So cozy and welcoming! I think the advert should mention parking is a issue. House has room for one small car. We got a parking ticket while parking outside. Overall would 100% return!

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you encountered issues with parking. The property details mention the garage size and that it can fit a small/medium car. Dartmouth is packed with beautiful lanes, however, this isn't always easy when it comes to access and parking. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay regardless and we look forward to welcoming you again in the future! Property Owner

  We were so impressed that we have immediately booked for October! Service from CC was excellent. We did not have a seagull sack which was provided within hours, excellent service! One of the tiles came loose in the main bathroom, along with a loose toilet seat but neither of which were an issue and to be expected from a holoday home.

• "We were very disappointed with the overall cleanliness of Gooder House on arrival."

  As l informed the Coast and Country Cottages office on the next day. The whole house was covered in cob webs. The downstairs bedroom was particularly poorly cleaned. In fact I did question if it had been. There was a lump of chewing gum on the window sill, loads of cob webs and the bathroom floor was filthy. The lady in the office did offer us a re clean but by that time we had all arrived and were keen to get on with our break. I was also very disappointed that no one had seen fit to give us warning of the building work going on next door. This proved to be very disruptive on a daily basis. The builders arrived every weekday morning at 7.30 am with their radio blaring, which continued all day. When they started the drilling the noise in Gooder House was horrendous. In fact one day some plaster came off the wall in the hallway. Considering the cost of the holiday I cannot describe it as a relaxing holiday.

  Very comfortable and ideally situated for our stay in Dartmouth with lovely views over the water to Kingswear from the living room. Having the use of the garage is such a bonus because parking in Dartmouth is getting harder nowadays, Currently the property next door is being renovated and the builders are on site early in the morning (this is so they can get their trucks parked early) but they are a good group of lads who get on with the minimum amount of disturbance, Would highly recommend Gooder House for its central location, comforts and high standards.

  The house is so homely we did not want to go home - so much so we ended up extending our stay! I would highly recommend Gooder House, it is in the perfect location with the added extra of a garage for parking. The house is beautifully decorated and very spacious. As a keen cook and baker, I enjoyed the kitchen/dining area most! The fact this property is also pet friendly is wonderful, my dog loved her stay as much as we did!
