Guests say
Harbourside in Dartmouth receives high praise for its stunning views, excellent location, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like a welcome hamper and Christmas decorations, though these are not guaranteed. While most reviews are positive, noting the property's cleanliness and comfort, some mention minor issues with maintenance and furniture comfort.
The majority of guests found Harbourside to be spotlessly clean, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, a few guests noted instances of dust and unclean utensils, which slightly affected the overall impression of cleanliness.
The property's location is highly praised for its proximity to the town, restaurants, and scenic walks, as well as its exceptional views. Parking is noted as a challenge, but the inclusion of a parking pass is appreciated.
Guests generally find the property comfortable, with special mentions of the beds and the living area. Some guests, however, felt that the main bedroom mattress and the sofa could be improved for better comfort.
The property is celebrated for its well-equipped kitchen and bathrooms. Nonetheless, comments about malfunctioning CD players, the need for non-slip mats in showers, and minor maintenance issues suggest room for improvement in facilities and upkeep.
While guests frequently mention and appreciate the thoughtful gestures such as welcome hampers and festive decorations, these are personal touches that may not be consistently provided and are not guaranteed for every stay.

The harbour town of Dartmouth provides a friendly, historic and picturesque base for a well-deserved break. On your doorstep, you’ll find boutique shops and galleries, fantastic pubs, cafés and restaurants, spectacular walking routes, and an array of coastal and river cruises.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, 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 popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. 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 the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

You could literally stay there all day and look out at the River Dart watching all the yachts, Cruise liners, paddleboats and activity on the water. I felt I was part of the water â it was that close. The property was spotless and everything you needed was provided. If I could have stayed longer, I would have and I will definitely rebook this property. Stunning.

In the sitting room, around the south facing window, on the carpet, there are a lot of particules in the carpet one cannot get rid off. No matter how much vacuuming you do. The carpet in that area seems to be desolving itself or something like that.

The only problem is the door lock, difficult to get the key in the lock! My main problem is being unable to talk to the Dartmouth office, not allowed apparently. That is upsetting as I know some of the staff. It really is putting me off booking. Christine Peckham
