Riverside 1

The harbour view from Riverside 1 apartment was absolutely amazing and we were able to sit out on the balcony watching the boats even though it is November. Very spacious and clean, the apartment was more than adequate for our two night stay. The apartment is over a shop but this wasn't an issue although the entrance leading to the apartment could do with a refurb. The ferry and shops are a two minute walk and there is a wide choice of restaurants. We liked Rosa and ROCKFISH which is a couple of doors away, booking recommended. Communication with Dart Holidays was very good. Overall, a good central base for Dartmouth.

Sadly, on both mornings of our stay, there was a 6.15 delivery at the Co-op store which is right next door, this was very noisy as the van pulls up just under the main bedroom. There was also a 5.15 refuse collection on Saturday morning. The car parking provided is a good 10/15 minute walk from the apartment but there is free parking outside the apartment if you go out of season. We were unable to find a space though.

The location could not have been better with a front row balcony view of all the Tall Ships that moored alongside, right outside our apartment. Lounge and main bedroom spacious, comfortable and exceedingly clean. Apartment is also ideally situated for town centre, Shops and Restuarant's.

Whilst understanding the whole parking situation in Dartmouth, the actual parking permit area for Dartside Holidays is some trek away for customers with walking limitations. It is also in a very awkward space (entry & exit) wise for some vehicles. Whilst benefitting from a second bedroom, being on the side of the building makes it a very dark room and with the added problem of noise coming from the clear up procedures of the Pub/Restuarant on the other side of the alley I can see it would not provide a comfortable sleeping option for friends or children. The kitchen window looks out onto an open shaft facing the bathroom window and unfortunately by not being covered at the top it gives rise to the view of an unsightly amount of Bird droppings on the windowsills and walls. The TV has poor reception on a number of channels coupled with a habit of feathering. Also, in order to make use of the Catch Up and Freeserve facilities you require email and password codes, details of which are not published in the information booklet
