    It is what it looks like, three bedrooms above a cafe/resto. You have to let yourself into the cafe outside of their working hours, and then lock up once you are in - a responsibility I didn't feel comfortable with. Rooms need a lick of paint, new carpet and sound proofing to the extent that you don't hear every fart and conversation next door.

    It's a great location, close to the shops and restaurants. The bed is comfy, and the team have put effort into some of the small touches.

    The room was small, and the shower came apart when trying to adjust it . Did not impact on our stay .

    The room was comfortable and well equipped. The location was brilliant. This was perfectly fine for the price we paid at a premium time of year .

    If I’m being picky a fan would have been much appreciated. Maybe I missed it.

    Location was fantastic. Response times to my messages were very prompt personal and accommodating which made the whole experience relaxing. Good quality coffee machine and honesty bar a nice touch.

    The weather was very hot and I had to have the windows open. I was woken at 4am by seagulls and was unable to get back to sleep.

    The location was on the coastal path which I was walking, so this was an ideal location. The town had many useful facilities.

    The room is a little tired ,the pillows are very flat and our sink had a bit of a smell

    Everything was in the room that you needed from tea and coffee and some makeup remover, which my wife thought was a really nice touch.

    Unfortunately the property is very tired, and has a ‘studenty’ feel. The walls are peeling and stained, and the bedsheets smelt musty, as if they hadn’t been dried properly. This is particularly unpleasant to sleep in, and does not inspire confidence in the cleanliness of the rest of the place. I understand that this property is on the more competitive side of pricing for the location, so can forgive cosmetic failings. But for bedsheets to smell unpleasant lies on the side of hygiene, for which there can be zero compromise. And take earplugs, the seagulls are noisy (not the property’s fault, this is the whole of Dartmouth, but be warned!).

    The property is very well located in the centre of Dartmouth, and provides a hair dryer, iron and ironing board. There seems to be a convention of coffee and tea in the room, which is appreciated, but the coffee tin in mine had only half a scoop left in it, so wasn’t particularly useful.

    The bathroom had some maintenance issues (toilet seat, noisy pipes for water to basin). Seagull noise was very intrusive (although hosts offered earplugs).

    The location is great, right in the centre of the old town. The hosts provided great instructions and were at the end of the phone should we need them.

    A rather unpleasant display of plastic flowers in one corner of the room, these will only gather dust and should be removed.

    A convenient and quiet location, right in the centre of Dartmouth. Good supply of tea, coffee and toiletries.

    last minute necessity, never met owners

    mattress old in need of replacing, as were pillows - although there were allot of them they were hard and irregularly lumpy. Listing says about fridge and 'honour system to pay' in kitchen, plus tablet pre-loaded for t.v in room. House keeping chap said they no longer provide a tablet as guests keep breaking them . The use of a fridge is only in 'high season or when they're busy. Asked for later check out ( even texted and called but no- response for over 24 hours, so had to book as it was a last minute no choice ) which was pretty essential for the stay - even by 30 mins - was told initially the room was booked due to 'the events at the Naval college' like I'd stayed to attend. In fact there were only 22 people passing out that morning, and none the next, the room wasn't booked at all. The house keeping assistant said it was because they had a 'viewing' at 11am. The internet connection details were sent on the 3rd page of the long check in process. Like most people would, I read though and checked on the info provided (an A4 printout on back of the door) and initially used that, which was out of date. There's only 3 rooms - maybe 5 minutes spent printing out up to date info would be a courtesy worth doing? This info also stated in capitols CHECK OUT 10am - it felt like they would never consider any leeway, so that should be stated on the initial page.

    great location, very clean, lots of pillows, nice bedding, lovely old building. Good selection of hot drinks including real coffee (which I found eventually as it was in a neat little narrow drawer under the mug stand -didn't see it initially as I'd put my sunglasses case in front concealing the 'pullout hole')! Ultra quick strong wi-fi

    The toilet cistern was not working in one of the rooms, but it wasn’t a major issue and could be overcome by flushing from inside the cistern. Had our stay been longer and the issue reported, I’m sure it would have been easily rectified.

    Location was perfect. Access was easy, whole process was easy , some people might like a more personal experience, but the remote instructions/communications worked well for me, instructions were clear and easy . It made the whole process very simple and efficient.
