Welcome pack of Prosecco, milk and shortbread was a nice, helpful treat. Only gripe which was out of your control was different people parked over the parking bay a few times, despite the notices. Sykes hols want customers to do everything for them via their website and it was difficult to get help over phone which was annoying.

Clean and tidy with all equipment available. Only one shower so if a extra could be fitted in top bathroom it would make a great improvement as just one shower is not enough for four adults. Parking is only for a small car and we had to park away from property. Another point is the mattresses could updated.We would recommend this place and would stay again.

Cosy and comfortable, but as clearly stated, parking is only for a very small car and stairs to in the cottage to top floor are very steep with low head room, so care is to be taken. As always Dartmouth was lovely.
