  Well equipped, very clean & well presented & the sofa appears to be new (different from that in the photos) & probably due to previous comments about it being uncomfortable.

  We found it to be very comfortable. A “set” fire would’ve been good, or include a small supply of logs/kindling. No cleaning products available although the tea towel/single dishwasher tablet & washing machine capsule & leftover washing up liquid was appreciated. Suggest a single multi-surface product is provided. It might be worth looking at the ironing board as it’s a little unstable. On departure I removed the out of date condiments, in-line with “house rules” although these were left by previous occupants. I Googled how to use the washer/dryer - again much appreciated to provide one though. We found the key for the side access to the larger rear space but it didn’t feel like we could use it & was quite sparse. Overall this accommodation is almost 5 stars & is in a fabulous location: to achieve full marks: 1) Provide multi-surface/purpose cleaning product. 2) Set fire or enough logs/kindling to make ONE, then occupants should fund their own. 3) Update the blue folder with more specific “cottage” guidance…suggest sectioning the content cottage guidance/food/things to do. This really is a great place to stay, very homely, well laid out & designed. The points raised are NOT complaints, just opportunities for improvement & it’s very clear the owners are reading & positively actioning feedback they receive. We felt like we wanted to look after it & maintain its standards. We’d definitely recommend this accommodation.

  Wonderfully positioned, characterful house with fantastic views from the living room and kitchen, day and night.

  Very clean and well kept, with a well-equipped kitchen, and good bathroom and en suite shower room on the mid level. A mostly rainy week meant we couldn’t take advantage of the terraces but again they offer great views. The garage is useful - our BMW 3 Series Estate fitted fairly easily - and at other times there was on street parking readily available within a minute or two’s walk. Minor issues: household supplies were very basic (no kitchen roll or cleaning spray, for example) and only one set of keys provided. The middle floor (two bedrooms and bathroom) smelt a little damp, which is not unusual for coastal homes built into a hillside. There is no damp showing and it’s not enough to affect clothes stored, but if you’re sensitive to the smell of damp it may be a little off-putting. The sofa in the living room is rather tired and uncomfortable but we spent most of our time sitting on the excellent window seats for the views. Care needed at the top of the stairs on the top floor where the flooring is narrow, but that’s just a factor of staying in an old, quirky but fun property. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend this house to anyone who can cope with the fitness challenge of the exterior steps!

  This is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle.

  You feel as if you are tucked away in the heart of the countryside, yet it is only a short drive away from Dartmouth, and even closer to two supermarkets (Lidl and Sainsburys). The apartment was very warm, comfortable and spacious, with a lovely view from the little balcony. Perfect for one or two people. My dog absolutely loved having her own dedicated, giant, grassy garden to sniff and play in. It had a table and seating there, which I am sure would be lovely to eat at in the warmer weather. Sue was very welcoming and helpful and nothing was a problem. The welcome basket was very generous and I really enjoyed munching my way through the contents. Thank you. The bedroom was spacious with plenty of storage space for clothes and bags. And a very comfortable bed. You will see other visitors have commented about the access road, Yes, it is narrow, bumpy and twisty and you need to drive slowly and carefully, but my Renault Scenic coped fine, even fully loaded. So please don't let that put you off. I am very happy to recommend Lower Norton Farm Apartment to you.

  Constructive observations: Steps to the property are uneven and awkward for small children and anyone with mobility issues.

  Not easy to access the garage due to scaffolding around property above obstructing the pathway (temporary closure notice posted on scaffold). Evidence of recent external building works resulted in us sweeping the lower garden to save walking a considerable amount of grit and dirt back inside the house (we didn’t use the upper garden). Not a major issue but at this price point I wouldn’t have expected to be having to do this. Concrete blocks left near front door (possibly leftover from scaffold) are a trip hazard and need removing. Rainwater down pipes need installing as without them there’s a bit of noise when raining due to splashing of water on to the paths. Privacy blind required in the en-suite. We couldn’t find a mat for the bath or shower; which would have been appreciated. Positive points: Incredible location. Beautiful property. Garage parking (we didn’t use our car once during our stay). We’d definitely stay here again!

  I have been coming to this property for years and we love it.

  The location is great both for the stunning views and the walking distance to all of Dartmouth's lifestyle facilities. The owners take good care of the property and of details that would make your staying more comfortable such us blankets, DVDs, games, good WiFi. The garage is a bonus although you need to be good at manoeuvring the car in a very narrow area. Indeed I would not advise this property to anyone with limited mobility given the numerous uneven and slippery (if wet) steps to access the property. More steps indoor. The kitchen is well fitted and with good quality appliances. It was disappointing that it lacked all the basics you would expect to find such us salt, pepper, foil, kitchen roll etc. It was not very clean too, greasy stove knobs and oven, crumbs on the table, hair in the shower, stained bed sheets and pillow cases. The blankets in the basket need refreshing. Overall it was a very good staying and we will return. Tony & Vittoria
