  Beatiful setting and gardens The outdoor wooden room very comfy chairs great to sit in and read .

  Very comfy bed.Overlong curtains caused an accident. .No comfortable chair To sit in to watch tv only wicker iron dining chairs covered by fluffy white sheepskins. After a day out I enjoy watching TV from a comfy chair and about 8 some nibbles.Idont.like watching TV from bed or eating snacks inbed but understand this is personal 7 sheepskins in an area you approximately 35 ft.by 10 feet to accommodate sleeping area dining and cooking including sidetables bookcase and bedside tables so small.Despite leaving switch on longer no water sufficiently hot to wash greasy dishes kept running cold as it did in bathroom sink.3 cupboards of China one narrow cupboard for food The shoser came apart on day 3 when I tried to cleansoap dish.slide doordoes not slide so water fromShower gets through. quite a space.storage.smallfridge although room for a taller one.Food storage difficult for 7 days yet alone nine. Cooking a faff as no hob or oven set up apart from microwave oven which was not cooking through properly have to set up equipment and store back. Again personal choice I'd provide Cornish scones from post office in pack rather than Lidle nationwide ones.A welcome binder would be really useful. Fresh flowers all around in garden but about five poor plastic plants in barn. Clothes washing difficult had to boil kettle for dishes and clothes couldnot find basket to carry clothes to line.

  My wife and I paid a very brief visit to the area on a family matter, so not really a holiday, what a superb property, so comfortable, clean and well appointed.

  We met the owners (the rental property is attached to their home) they were very friendly and welcoming. As far as my wife and I could ascertain the description of the property on Sykes' website was spot on. The whole property is so well fitted out to a high, modern standard, stunningly clean and well decorated, we have stayed in very few better appointed holiday lets during the last 50-years, we thoroughly recommend it. There are just a couple of minor points that we felt were worth considering, they most certainly are not criticisms, but may help future visitors. Firstly, Rondeval is on quite a long road and all properties have names not house numbers, Sykes' documentation simply states that the Postcode will lead to the property, it did, but we had to look carefully at each house name as we drove along the road, so it may help if more detailed instructions are given to help find the house, especially after dark. Secondly, my wife and I are not in the first flush of youth and I have mobility problems so we were concerned about the shower, we felt that a non-slip mat in the shower could be advantageous, it would alleviate the worry of slipping for the more infirm guests. Superb, we wish that we could have extended our stay.

  This was a lovely cosy cottage with lots of quirky features.

  Comfortable for 5 or 6 but be warned the stairs are steep for young children or frail or vulnerable adults. Beautiful views over Dartmouth town and harbour. The cottage is accessible by a very steep and narrow road for unloading and loading luggage but otherwise leave the car in the town car park. We kept ourselves fit walking up and down the steep hill to the shops! The cottage is just a short (steep) walk from the town centre where there is loads to do for all ages: steam train trip, lots of boat trips, museum, escape room, a wide choice of pubs, restaurants and cafes. There’s also a very nice heated outdoor swimming pool and a very nice indoor pool and gym at the leisure centre. Lovely walks with superb views. A nice walk or boat ride to Dartmouth castle and the coast. The castle is managed by English Heritage and there are activities for all ages and it’s well worth a visit. We loved Dartmouth! A friendly, peaceful and pretty town.

  We had a fantastic break at Carswell Quarters. The location was superb and perfect for easy access straight onto the Coast Path for frequent walks with our woofer. And the uninterrupted views are to die for. The arrival information from Finest Stays was very helpful. Although The Lanterns was not difficult to find, the instructions for driving to the location and the photos of what to look for, the parking space and the steps up to the front door etc were a nice touch. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and furnished. The bathrooms and kitchen especially have the "wow" factor. The beds and bedlinen are top quality and very comfortable and the towels superbly "fluffy". We enjoyed the treats in the thoughtful "goody bag". The kitchen is well equipped. Thank you for a lovely stay.

  Nowhere in bedroom to plug hairdryer/ straighteners in near mirror.

  Loads of storage , but bit off putting as loads owners stuff in them. Cottage pretty, beds very comfortable . T.V, . Almost impossible to use, constantly breaks up and sound goes, unable to even get BBC 1. Very disappointing as was there on day of Queens Funeral. Be handy have coffee table in front of sofa. Access a nightmare for anyone with mobility issues. Struggled to pull a suitcase up and down hill while using a stick to. Please make clearer in your details nit possible to get car down lane in order ti drop passengers/ luggages off. unsuitable anyone with mobility issues. We also spent a fortune on parking . Felt somewhat trapped in cottage as not possible to be picked up outside cottage and struggled walking up and down the hill.
