Sandy Toes Dartmouth Reviews

Chris

The accomodation was lovely. Outdoor seating areas both front and back with storage for the seat cushions. Three shower rooms and one bath plus a downstairs toilet. Great views from the first floor balcony. Kitchen is very well equipped. Coffee maker, air fryer, microwave, oven, hob, washer dryer and dishwasher. Dining table with lots of seats. Plenty of seating in the living room with a good Sky smart TV. Three double bedrooms and a twin with all but the twin having smart TVs. A great place to stay!

Martin

Well appointed house, very clean. Fantastic location. Dartmouth and surrounding beaches all very accessible. The village centre of Stoke Fleming is a short walk away and has a local shop and a great pub in the Green Dragon.

Catherine

Sandy Toes was a superb place for a family weekend to celebrate an 80th birthday. We had a very comfortable stay, with shared space and plenty of room to enjoy. Quiet at night, access to local areas, all very easy.

Melanie

A spacious well equipped property suitable for up to 8 people, with sea views from the garden and master bedroom. Nicely decorated with generous bedrooms and bathrooms, plus plenty of storage space and excellent parking for 2 vehicles. Plenty of family games and books also provided. A short walk to Stoke Fleming village and also close to Blackpool Sands, however you will need a car or bus to visit Dartmouth town. Recommend a trip up the River Dart and a visit to Agatha Christie's home and also Dartmouth Castle. Be aware that many local pubs close on Mondays and Tuesdays, or serve only limited food options, and some close between 3pm and 5pm on other days too. Maybe this will change in the coming weeks when the town gets busier, but please check online to avoid disappointment.
