Lovely spacious property. Well equipped and comfortable. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but that is the charm of beautiful Dartmouth. We eventually found free street parking, forgot about the cars and found enough to do in and around Dartmouth on foot..

This cottage needs upgrading its shabby, we had several issues. When on holiday I expect it to be home from home, this is not.

Very convenient location in a quiet street, ideal for walking anywhere in town. Only drawback was no parking permit which other properties we have rented have had. Property is on four levels so renters need to be aware of this re fitness but it is ideal for couples who are friends as bedrooms are on separate floors. Very well equipped and spaRead morecious Hide

The house is located in a great spot in Dartmouth. A quiet street, close to the centre of town. A 3 min walk to car park, Marks and Spencers for food and great meals at either Browns and the George and Dragon pub. We soon got used to the four storey house, laughed when we forgot things on the bottom floor and had to go up and down the stairs. DowRead morenside is the first toilet when you enter the house is on the third floor. Management company holiday cottages were very helpful and responded well to sorting out car park permit when we arrived and it wasnt there and kept us informed, replacement delivered to the door by mid afternoon the next day.

Drum house could not be any better positioned for staying in Dartmouth, we loved it! House perfect size for our family and comfortable and well equipped, having a washing machine with dryer for our many beach trips was a massive bonus.
