“Customers should be warned the walk into Dartmouth is quite a strenuous walk.”

Thank you very much for your feedback, we were pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at 6 The Pottery so well. The walk into Dartmouth from the property is about 0.7 miles and you can enjoy some wonderful elevated views of the river, Dartmouth and Kingswear along the way. We find most people enjoy this walk thanks to these views, but we are sorry if you found it strenuous. We hope to see you again soon! Owner relations

“We booked 2 separate weeks holiday with Sykes.”

The first week was in Cornwall and the property was Mayfield View, Porthtowan. Despite the awful weather we were treated to a wonderful property which had originally been a detached barn but had been converted into a superb "holiday let" experience. We followed this week with a further week's holiday in Devon at No 6 The Pottery in Dartmouth. What a huge disappointment this turned out to be. Although the apartment was well fitted with facilities, we discovered that the Oven wasn't clean and in addition the grill pan even had crumbs left in it. The elevated upper bedroom carpet hadn't been cleaned plus there were stains on the carpet. The double bed was extremely uncomfortable as the mattress sagged in the middle, we even had to pack this with our own beach towels to be able to sleep reasonably comfortably.The adjoining bathroom didn't have a proper shower screen only a hose connected to the bath tap. The downstairs bathroom did have a walk in shower which was excellent although the sliding door fittings were very dirty. In addition to the above, the apartment above No6 became occupied with we think 2 people.This added a further problem as this couple continually walked backwards and forwards across the upper floor with we think "clogs" on their feet. Seriously it was a complete nightmare, we could even hear them during the night (say 3 or 4 am every night) using we presume their toilet. We only managed to stay in the apartment for 5 nights as this whole episode turned into a very uncomfortable experience. We attempted to call Sykes but there was no telephone service in the immediate area. We eventually drove to a area locally and phoned to express our disappointment. The young lady we spoke to was very attentive and we were able to make our feelings known but nothing happened whatsoever. We packed up and left after lunch on Wednesday.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write following your recent stay at 6 The Pottery. We’re very sad to learn that you didn’t enjoy your stay, however having discussed in depth the issues raised with both the owners and housekeepers do not agree with the majority of the criticisms levied. As you’ll see from the previous positive reviews submitted, the owner has prided themselves on providing a clean and well equipped property that matches the descriptions we’re written for it. The bathroom for instance, is exactly as you will see in the photographs and although it has a hand-shower, is high spec and exactly as described. We accept that mattress comfort is subjective and are sad you didn’t sleep well, however the mattress doesn’t sag in the middle (it is only 9 months old) and we have not received any similar comments of this nature from any other visitors. We are also sad to hear you report that some areas were unclean and again, whilst we accept that sometimes regrettably cleaners can overlook things, we have been unable to find any evidence on this occasion of there being problems with the cleanliness or any stains on the carpets. Immediately upon you reporting your issues to us we spoke to the housekeepers who were happily prepared to return to the property within 24 hours, however you chose to decline this offer. We’re sorry again that on this occasion you were unhappy, but we feel very confident that guests can expect to find this property exactly as promised. We would recommend in future that should you ever have a problem on holiday to let us know straight away so that we can ensure we put right for you promptly. Owner relations

“A super apartment in a fantastic old building.”

The walk into Dartmouth, which we made at least once a day, was beautiful and the exercise was welcome after all the good food we ate. When we last visited the town the pottery was just that and it was lovely to re-visit it in its new guise.

“No 6 The Pottery looked lovely on your web site and the description was very appealing.”

We parked right outside the door on a cold drizzly day. Our first impression was Wow!! It was beautiful, warm and inviting. It's a little bit quirky with different levels but we thought it was superb and would have no hesitation in staying here again. The location is good as it is only a 10 minute walk into the centre of Dartmouth.

“Lovely house in fantastic location.”

Will definitely be booking again! Thank you.

“A beautiful apartment within walking distance of Dartmouth.”

Very modern and well equipped. Also a quiet setting too. Lots to explore in the area. We hope to return soon to the same place.
Mr Whitwell December 2018

“Lovely flat in interesting building.”

Very clean and well equipped with lots of space. One small point; we were confused initially because there is a cottage number 6 and a flat number 6 on the same complex. Our details simply said "number 6" and needless to say we initially went to the wrong one searching for the key safe !

“Dartmouth is a wonderful place.”

I loved the Pottery which is an iconic building and it was lovely to be so close to the river Dart.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular sandy beaches are a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
