Number 20 is one of the rare spacious homes among the slender townhouses of Clarence Street. It’s just a short walk to explore Dartmouth’s diverse eateries and age-old inns yet is set back from the hustle and bustle for a truly relaxing stay. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms make it ideal for couples, groups, or families. There’s a relaxed living area and well-equipped kitchen plus a private patio with views across the town towards the river, plus a large garden and garage parking.

Nearly great but with faults

The Wi-Fi didn’t work after all our efforts to fix it, I even reset it back to factory which should have reinstated the original password.. However, this didn’t spoil the holiday, but turned out to be the least of the problems.

The downstairs bedroom remained musty as the radiator didn’t work at all, I tried bleeding it, and put the stat up to max, but still nothing. This will have contributed to the damp musty smell, that caused our friends wife to use one of the singles upstairs.

Worst problem and really unacceptable was the shower. The upstairs one only works for a minute before running out of water and making the pump scream – this was even though the control was at less than half full on. It was even worse when the shower downstairs was running at the same time as neither worked for long. The downstairs one worked reasonably well provided the pump wasn’t turned full on. Even then we had to wait between showers for the tank to refill. Thank God we didn’t have 6 of us after all, as it would have taken all morning to shower.

Clearly the hot and cold supplies to the two showers are inadequate.

As an aside, I would also comment that the upstairs cubicle is very small, and in such a big bathroom they could have fitted a far bigger enclosure. I struggled to get down to wash my feet until the shower stopped and I had to go downstairs covered in soap!! I'm not massive....

Finally, the information really should advise the garage dimensions, as we only just got our Skoda Kodiaq in, which is a reasonably large SUV, but larger vehicles like Range Rover, Discovery, Volvo XC90 and the like just would not fit. As it was, I could only just get out of the car once parked.

All of this is a great shame, as the property itself was lovely, well equipped and in a perfect location.

We will come to Dartmouth again, in fact we stayed in one of your cottages two years ago, but we wouldn’t stay at Number 20 again unless the shower and Wi-Fi were fixed, and we would bring a smaller car.

We would also recommend it is these matters were resolved

I hope you find these criticisms constructive.




Perfect for us.

This property is larger than it looks in the photos and is in a good central location near the river. One garage space only under the accommodation but a rare find in town. The garden was large, if slightly uncared for, and great for our two dogs except for a lack of gate to one access stairway. We reported this and the owners are to be asked if they will provide one. We built a barricade with a wheelbarrow etc. from the garden. All was beautifully clean and well equipped. The furnishings are eclectic but so much nicer than the usual IKEA lookalikes. We did a bit of DIY on the rotary dryer which was tossed on the grass along with the ground spike. We set it up on the parasol base.

Stopped many times so pleased.
In the winter nights would be good idea to change outside lighting to lights that activate save leaving outside lights on .
One real improvement pls move key safe to below outside light by door at higher level so difficult to bend and see !



Great holiday home

We had an enjoyable 2 weeks at this property, the first week with friends and the second week with family including two children.
Everything worked well and as we had lovely weather so was out and about everyday. The property was accurately described in the advert.

Excellent location so close to the river and shops and pubs you could easily not use your car at all. The house was very spacious much larger than expected and well equipped.The only thing that could be improved is the outside space needs new patio furniture with more seating (property sleeps 6 but only chairs for 4 ) also there was no barbecue as on the website description.but otherwise a really exelent home from home would definitely recommend



2 week stay at No 20

We always enjoy holidaying in Dartmouth, and No 20 is a nice homely house set in a quiet location with an outside patio.

Number 20 is in a great location close to amenities but also secluded. We enjoyed the outdoor patio and the interior was very spacious too! Lots going on in Dartmouth and the South West Coastal Path was easily accessible with useful bus and ferry links. Office staff were kind and thoughtful as well.



Recommend to any Holidaymaker.

We stayed at number 20 and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The house itself had everything we required and was very well equipped in the kitchen. We loved the quirky style of the house and it fitted with us perfectly. The house was very clean also. It exceeded our expectations and will definitely stay again!



20 Clarence Street a great place to stay.

We found the accommodation to be set in an ideal location to explore South Devon and a five minutes walk to the centre of Dartmouth. 20 Clarence Street was clean and comfortable and we would certainly return in the future. The car parking was fine, we found no problem parking a Golf size car in the garage but any larger would be a bit of a squeeze. A special thanks to all the team at Dart Valley Cottages for their help and service in these difficult times.

We’ve holidayed in Dartmouth many times and this house was one of the best: well-equipped, homely and a great location. The terrace garden is quiet and private and although the house sleeps 6, it’s possible to rent just the ground floor for 2 people (sole occupancy of house).

Just take heed of the advice re garage size as it is fairly small and it’s not possible to leave your car on the shared drive. There is however street parking which is unrestricted after 6pm and out of season.

We stayed in September and were very impressed by the location. Just a few minutes walk to the river, shops and restaurants, including a very handy Marks and Spencers food hall We barely used the car but there is parking with the accomodation which is a bonus in this area. Beds really comfortable and 2 bathrooms. Couldnt fault it.

Comfortable home from home house in very convenient position just a few minutes walk from town centre. Having parking available is a plus but we found the garage narrow for VW Golf, a larger car would be a struggle to park & be able to open the door. Plenty to do in Dartmouth & on the water so we parked up & managed without car for most of the week. Enjoyable week , sun every day.
