“Excellent property in a beautiful village , enjoyed the week in this wonderful property and we will be back again soon.”

The only negative small points were the damaged tiles over the bath/shower in the family bathroom which caused slight cut to the hand and the previous occupants leaving excessive amount of beer and wine bottles next to the bins.

“Need the welcome letter placed in a more open space ie table top or work top, we did not find this until the next morning under a butchers block ,as their is no signal we had trouble trying to contact our other two guests the problem being the wi-if code and not being able to find it ,could be better displayed ie on the blackboard or laminated and on display more noticeable.”

They do not have a bottle collection in south hams , so people need to be aware of this as like myself bottles are left by the dustbin/ parking area , also the rubbish dustbin was full on arrival . The cottage was lovely and warm ,situated in a peaceful village and we did have a lovely stay . Thank you

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We have asked our housekeeper to leave the welcome folder on the dining table, so that it is more visible for guests on arrival at the property. The bin collection in the whole of the South Hams has been a bit hit and miss for a while, this is due to driver issues and so affects everyone. In our information folder we do ask guests to take any bottles to a recycling point, as there is no bottle collection. We have arranged for the bottles which were left by the bin to be removed. Aside from these points we are glad that you enjoyed your stay at the property and hope that we may be able to welcome you back to the property again. Property Owner

“Very pleasant cottage situated in beautiful countryside with some amazing views.”

Everything you needed to make it home form home for a few relaxing days away.

“THE ONLY MAJOR PROBLEM WAS THAT THERE IS NO BT SIGNAL This needs to be stated in the details Most people need to keep in contact with others.”

But the main concern is if there was an emergency Cottage was spotless and as described. It would have been helpful to have had the hot water switched on and the same for the heating

“We had a lovely few days at this property.”

It was very comfortable and had everything catered for. Only a couple of points that concerned us.... very steep steps in back garden from patio to grassed area and also from this area to parking area. Also, perhaps more attention needed to cleaning. The bathrooms were obviosly not cleaned around edges of floor areas. The water in the shower was slow to go down the plug hole. I took this up....it was black and filthy. I cleaned this as well as I could and replaced it. Otherwise no other issues and we enjoyed our stay.

“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.

- Elizabeth, October 2019

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. Property Owner
Lyn October 2019

“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.

“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.

“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.

Well planned bungalow in great location.

“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.

- Elizabeth, October 2018
David 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.

“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.

“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.

“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.
