“The location was fantastic.”

A two minute walk to a friendly post office stores and three eateries. Beautiful relaxing setting. Property was extremely well appointed and clean.

“Very disappointing visit.”

This was our third visit to the property and we assumed that there would be some level of consistency, we were therefore very disappointed to find that on this occasion there was: no toilet roll, no bags on any pedal bins (and none in stock), no starter dishwasher tablets, no soap in the en suite, only two hand towels in a property for four, a bedside table lamp with dud bulb and again no spares, a dirty fish smelling tea towel (only one), a tumble drier that didn't work, a toilet brush in the en suite that was broken and this was in addition to the place looking rather tired (bedroom carpet would benefit from a clean). All of these comments are rather unfortunate since that actual property has been well thought out and they would not have applied to previous visits. The missing and dirty items were particularly galling since we have a journey of over 400 miles and do not feel inclined to go shopping immediately after arrival.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to our feedback request. 2 Dart maintains very good reviews, as do all of the properties we manage; we cannot verify if we simply forgot to leave toilet rolls or not, but this is entirely possible and we apologise if this was the case. All of the bins at 2 Dart have removeable inner parts that are emptied easily and washed out afterwards. We do leave dishwasher tabs and we don’t feel that we would have missed leaving these. Despite the points raised we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at 2 Dart. Owner relations

“Excellent accommodation in a lovely setting.”

Great garden which was very safe for our dog. The steps leading up to the front of the cottage and the steps leading down to the back of the cottage are very steep and warrant handrails . The village is beautiful and the people very friendly. The walk through the orchard down to the river dart was a favourite, especially for Our Labrador ,all in all a lovely holiday.

“Beautiful cottage at a very high specification”

“2 Dart is the most wonderful place to relax or walk, whichever suits you.”

I have been coming for the last 4 years and I would recommend it highly. All the popular seaside towns are close by and if you journey a little further you can visit beautiful Salcombe. There are also quite a few National Trust properties nearby. The bungalow is lovely. Room to relax both I side and out. The bedrooms are spacious. Cannot recommend 2 Dart highly enough.
Mr Grant May 2019

“We had a wonderful week.”

The cottage was a dream everything we wanted was there. Stoke Gabriel is the most lovely village, people helpful and friendly, two great pubs, and great walks around the village and along the river. I know Sykes did not arrange it but we had a week of terrific weather could not have wished for better. I arranged a tour of Dartmouth Royal Naval Collage which was a really an experience i would not want to have missed.

“Check mobile phone network coverage in area - fairly essential if need to contact caretaker.”

Well planned bungalow in great location.
Mrs Spires March 2019

“Lovely, well equipped bungalow in an idyllic village.”
Mrs Leach October 2018

“Property is as described and very comfortable with a well designed extension.”

Generally we have no complaints; however, we were met by a FULL dishwasher upon arrival. After a long journey (we live in Northumberland) we were not best pleased. Apart from the issue above, the location of the property and the friendliness of the neighbours and locals was very welcome.
Mr Fearn September 2018

“Fantastic holiday cottage in a great location.”

Loved the kitchen/diner/lounge, it was really bright and open, and a good way to keep an eye on the kids. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all nicely presented and a good size. The village of Stoke Gabriel is very nice and the pub, shop and restaurant were all 1 minute walk away. Our only suggestion is the possible addition of a gate to the top of the steps leading from the patio to the garden. Only a minor detail, but means that you can leave children safely in the garden as ours had a tendency to want to play on the steps.
Mr Whiting August 2018

“We found it comfortable, relaxing, quiet and apart from the difficulties with parking and carrying our luggage up and down the steps, it was very enjoyable.”

We found opening and locking the front door difficult. We also found the fixed part of the back patio doors impossible to work reliably.
Mrs Maddock June 2018

“It was ok , property needs a good deep clean , felt dusty on arrival , little things not great , could be much better.”

small things , no hand towels with main bedroom , no spare loo roll , cobwebs and windows needed cleaning, no shower mat in en-suite , tear in sheet on bed , broken loo brush holder , marks on paintwork, just poor care taking, we holiday in cottages a lot , just a little disappointing.
Mrs Hollyoak May 2018

“Access is quite difficult with luggage and maybe a blind on lounge window to shade television from evening Sun otherwise were very pleased with the accommodation.”
Mr Heath April 2018

“This is a very nice villa in a superb location with easy access to fabulous coastal scenery and long walks on Dartmoor.”

Stoke Gabriel is a very pleasant village with a couple of great local pubs a few minutes away (and friendly people - we dropped a hat leaving the car one evening and someone kindly found it and popped it over the wing mirror the next day). The villa itself is large, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing week away. Unfortunately the floor in the living/dining/kitchen area had not been cleaned properly and was rather grubby. Apart from that a great stay.

The property is also just a few minutes walk through the orchard to the river banks where walkers can stretch their legs along the shoreline and stop for coffee and a snack at the popular River Shack cafe. Beautifully refurbished in a colonial New England Style this attractive villa is a wonderful opportunity for visitors seeking a holiday cottage without compromise and offering all the comforts of home.

Pale walls and New England style furniture are balanced with delicate fabrics and colours, with patio doors leading onto the colonial style balcony and the front garden that captures the evening sun.
