Bayards Cottage Reviews

Rachel
We have had a lovely week in Dartmouth, the apartment is warm and comfortable with fantastic views from the lounge and bedrooms, my elderly parents loved sitting in the lounge watching the ferry and people in Bayards Cove. The location is excellent, just a short walk into the centre of Dartmouth. I recommend Fast Rabbit Farm Gardens, just a 10 minute drive away and a visit to Greenway by boat. It's a lovely spacious apartment and we would go again.
Carol Ann
The accommodation is perfect, plenty of space and amazing views from all the Estuary facing windows. This is our second stay because we love the area and this is one of the best apartments we have stayed at. The staff at Original Cottages were, as ever, very helpful. Spotlessly clean and comfortable lounge with three large bedrooms and would accomodate three couples. Our beds were comfortable and there was plenty of eating space in the kitchen. Sadly no necessities were provided on arrival and had to do a small emergency shopping to see us over until the morning. Good supermarkets are mostly within walking distance and a short walk down the hill behind the apartment there are some amazing eateries and the main shopping area. The slope down from the offloading area is quite steep and the front step a little difficult but once inside you will be well rewarded. The free parking pass for the Mayor's Carpark was most acceptable but we were lucky to be able to get the occasional space in a closed location.
Tracy
This apartment was everything we was looking for. We stayed for four nights over the Christmas holiday. Having three double bedrooms gave us plenty of room to be able to relax, the kitchen had everything i needed in it to cook a Christmas lunch and views from every room was stunning. The property was warm and very clean. The communication from the letting company was also very good.
Nathan
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bayards Cottage. The apartment was very spacious and we loved the views from the living area, kitchen and bedrooms. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms were all a good size. Loved the location and the short proximity to the town centre. Would love to stay again
Nicci
The cottage is in a very convenient location with stunning views across the river. As has been mentioned before parking is a bit of a nightmare for loading/unloading (we had to stop on double yellow lines) but that was the compromise to be able to stay in that location and the parking pass to a nearby car park was a welcome addition. The cottage has so much space and was very clean on arrival. It has very comfortable beds and we were grateful for the blackout blinds in the bedrooms. My only gripe was a lack of a welcome tray- nothing says 'welcome' more than a home baked cake or local biscuits, a pint of milk in the fridge and some basic items such as tea & coffee. I'll be honest this is the first place I've ever stayed where there has been literally nothing to welcome us after our journey. In spite of this, I would definitely recommend this property for its location and comfort.
Shaun
Great location and plenty of space within the property for people to relax. Short walk into the town and all the amenities. Great views of the estuary from all rooms. Having two teenagers with us the wi-fi was essential and very reliable. Nice to have a smart TV in all bedrooms (again helps with 2 teenagers!!). Would definitely recommend
Kevin
Beautiful accommodation in a first class location. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but the walk to mayors avenue car park isnâ??t too far if you have to park there. The views across the river are amazing and the property is closer to the local shops, bars and restaurants than we realised.
