Allura Santa Express, Mulled wine and hot tub

It was handy for the event I was working at. Fortunately I was out all day.

The place needs a good clean and fixing up. I had to fix the shower with insulation tape as there was nothing to hold the shower head. The wardrobe in the bedroom was so jammed in it was totally unusable. Nowhere to store anything we had bought, not a single empty cupboard. No table to eat off for the one night we tried to cook something. The owner had the nerve to ask for £8 towards the electricity and then when we arrived asked for £10. Apparently it goes to a non - specified charity. The bedding was clean and the towels were clean but apart from being able to go out all day this is the only good thing about Little Trains. Do not stay here.

Good location, price was good, a little dampness in bedroom, but could be tolerated.

A bit of damp in bedroom.

Location. Hot water. Comfy if not obviously clean bed. Kind guest from another chalet let us in as owner not well. Must have been well sterilised as it stank of bleach throughout.

Wrong ( non existent) building number on confirmation so very hard to find. £10 demanded for electricity which was not mentioned anywhere in emails and we were, fortunately, only there one night. Dirty towels and dirty sticky floors.. Filthy light switches and walls. Very very badly in need of decoration/refurbishment. Paint slapped amateurishly every where. Gaffer tape on all doorways. Wallpaper not aligned ( no effort to match sides) even on the doors. Bedding indescribable! It had saucepans and other cooking utensils and plates but no cups/mugs or cereal bowls. All in all grossly overpriced and we recommend it is avoided.

The bed

It smelt musky it was a different address to your booking address we had to pay for our electricity which isn't mentioned in the advert it was supposed to have indoor pool but didn't the fridge freezer didn't work the oven was toxic when switched to much clutter we paid extra for the dog as they need to steam clean everything. It was dirty and cluutered. There was no sofa bed so our daughter had to sleep on the settee

Great location for easy access to Dartmouth and surrounding areas. Beautiful nearby beaches.

I wasn't going to write a review. It was not great but we laughed it off and as the owner decided to write a review for me and give themselves 10/10 I feel I have to write my own review after contacting customer services. It was like someone had died there, removed the body but left all their belongings. Nearly every cupboard or draw had half used toiletries, unfolded bedding or other clutter in them. Bottled water were all opened. Dirty dressing gowns, coats, used slippers no sheets on the one bed, nowhere comfortable to sit. The welcome pack was just full of left over bits n bobs. There were food in the cupboards that no one is ever going to use. Wasn't cleanest of places either. I stripped the beds before I left hoping the next person would get clean bedding. Luckily I always take my own fleece blankets so we slept on them on top of the beds. I was late arriving so I was charged £25 for someone to meet me. Took me an hour to find the chalet as nothing was lit and signage was very poor as one met me at the gate even after phoning and texting the number given. Finally found it and the owners were sat in the chalet. They seemed very nice if I'm honest. Breakfast was OK. The bacon was still oinking but the eggs were nice. Dartmouth itself was fantastic. But I wouldn't recommend staying with little trains of Dartmouth

great

all good

Close to the town centre and nicely situated although you cannot park near it.

Duvet and bedding grubby so only stayed one night instead of the two I had paid for. We were told to park in numbered bays, however, there were no legible numbers as the markings had worn off

The location was OK. And close to Dartmouth. Car parking. Jim who welcomed us was nice. Kettle looked new.

I am unsure where I start here. We have stayed in countless properties throughout the years both on Booking.com and others and never really had any issues expect for the odd problems but this one was something else. I booked two nights here for 160£ which was the cheapest I could find, but still over priced in my opinion when booking It is what it is, so paid and booked. The day after I get a message from the properties owner saying there's a late fee if you come past 6pm. ( I finished work at 3pm so couldn't arrive until 7pm) And we have to pay 6 pounds for electric, neither of which is in the booking.com infomation when booking. So these are hidden charges, so I thought I'd phone the owner to enquire about this. The owner when I politely asked became very defensive and rude refusing to allow me to speak, saying "its for charity and that she's a volunteer" which I explained had nothing to do with me, I booked a place for 160 pounds, I should pay 160 pounds. I kept asking how much the late fee was but she wouldn't tell me. just kept ranting about how I was being "agreesive" I didn't raise my voice once, I just wanted her to answer my questions which she wouldn't do, she then accused me of being a family that might go there and disturb the neighbours and be agressive! I do not appreciate such accusations, myself and my family are very respectful and quiet people and never have issues with anyone. Eventually she did tell me what the fee was, and then hung up on me, which was very unprofessional, as was her text messages to me, using text with shortening of words making the messages difficult to understand. She said why do the fees matter its only another 16 pounds yet only moments before told me they are asking for extra money as people are struggling contradicting that first statement. Anyway after phoning booking.
