Absolutely superb accommodation.. a lovely Georgian house but with 21st Century facilities .I'm a doddery old 85 year old and so had to watch my step around the grounds but the rest of the family (40 to 60 year olds plus my wife) found everything to be -'no problem'. Every thing we wanted in the house, was available. Dartmouth and surrounding coastline was beautiful and the weather was ideal. Once again Helpful Holidays provided us with a wonderful holiday.

The place was really well appointed, very comfortable and well priced.. Probably advisable to highlight that the place is probably not suitable to people with poor mobility from the perspective of walking to town or anywhere from the house, although close enough the hilly aspect would be an issue. The whole waste disposal took some understanding and clearly the people before did not get it as they had thrown their doggy waste in the wrong bin!

Woodlands was a fantastic house and the best equipped we’d ever stayed in.. There was nothing we could think of to add. We met the owners and they were helpful and lovely people. I needed to ask a couple of questions during the week and the caretaker immediately answered my emails. My whole family had a fabulous weeks stay.

A lovely warm family atmosphere, so well equipped and loads of space for 6 children to play hide and seek and especially to play upstairs.. That playroom is a stroke of genius. I am afraid the piano was also well exercised, some more musically than others! .Brownies,local apple juice and wine was really welcoming - good wine too! It was a memorable weekend with members of the family coming from Chile, Somerset and Wiltshire.

We stayed at Woodlands for a special family weekend and it was a perfect setting.. Enough room to be together and yet have space to ourselves; always important! The wet weather was welcomed as we had wood burners to sit by and a great kitchen in which to cook good food; even a grand piano to play a little. A short stroll to the creek, a brisk walk into town, a short drive to amazing beaches; all good things to do, or stay indoors with lovely views of the water. Fabulous.

We had a great week in this wonderful house! It's very comfortable and clean with plenty of space - lovely soft bed linen and fluffy pillows and towels. Delicious brownies and wine on arrival, along with basics like milk, tea, coffee, sugar. The location is superb, 15 mins walk into the middle of Dartmouth but still very quiet and with amazing views. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The grand piano was a huge hit!

Wonderful property in a wonderful location

Mrs Arthur

We all enjoyed staying in this lovely house with fantastic views.. Dartmouth castle is a short walk as is Dartmouth town so there's plenty to do without a car.

Lovely house but need to be aware of the steepness of the gardens and drive, unsuitable for toddlers and people unsteady on their feet..

This was a great house for the size of our group (12).. On the whole a great experience. Just a couple of things though - one of the double beds had a very old mattress with springs literally raising out of it so made for a very uncomfortable and sleep disturbed night for the week. Thankfully my husband and I had chosen this room so the other members of the family didn’t get it. The tumble dryer was broken so we were unable to use it for the whole week. We did need to do a few washes so thankfully found a radiator in a bathroom that could be turned on intermittently when we needed items to dry. Elaine and her husband did come over and did try to fix it which we were grateful for. They also looked at couple of the gas rings that weren’t working. One member of the family nearly got locked in a bathroom one night as the door handle came off.. this happened to a couple of other doors too. We did have a lovely family time in this amazing house. Just thought it helpful for you to know these few things. Elaine and her husband were very friendly and have kindly let us know about items we’ve left too! In answer to the next question- Happy for you to publish if you want to.

Mr Walker

The property is in a lovely quiet spot, with great views (including some of the bay), and within walking distance of the town.. Very spacious, and exceedingly well equipped. It would be very easy to repeat our visit in the future.
