All properties will comfortably accommodate the number of people stated and sufficient equipment will be provided.
Beds/Bed Linen
All bed sizes are standard (4'6" double and 3' single) unless otherwise stated. Pillows and duvets are provided. Linen is not provided unless otherwise stated and tenants must therefore provide bottom sheets, duvet covers, pillow cases, towels, tea towels and bath mats.Linen hire services are available and DHH can provide details.
Cots & Highchairs
Cots,stairgates and highchairs can be hired where they are not provided at the property. Please call the office for details. If they are provided please warn DHH that you will be using them.
Pets
PETS ARE ONLY ACCEPTED WHERE CLEARLY STATED IN THE PROPERTY DETAILS - please bring bedding, bowls etc, and do not allow your pets in the bedroom or on any furniture. Pets must not be left unaccompanied in any property and must be kept under control at all times. Tenants' pets/visiting pets are not allowed either in the premises of 'Non Pet' properties or across the boundary of the property. This restriction is often due to allergy related problems and must be strictly adhered to.
Mobile Phones Mobile phones do not always work in Dartmouth although coverage is now much more extensive
Driving in and around Dartmouth Visitors should be aware that part of the character of Dartmouth is the numerous narrow and one way streets. Above Town, in particular, is very narrow in places and only wide enough for small cars. In addition, the Devon lanes can be very narrow (single track with passing places on occasion) and winding, with high road sides covered with vegetation.From March to June this is largely a wonderful display of primroses, snowdrops, bluebells, campions, foxgloves and cow parsley!
Parking
Where available, is stated in property details. Street parking is sometimes possible outside the town centre but this often causes problems for local residents - there are restrictions from May to September. As some may know, Dartmouth is not an easy place in which to park! Some property owners provide car park season tickets for the benefit of tenants. These do not guarantee a space, but do enable long term parking significantly cheaper than short term rates. The season tickets are not replaceable and thus, if lost, future tenants will not have this benefit. If tenants wish to use the season ticket this can be collected from the office in exchange for a refundable deposit of £30.
Cleaning
Tenants are requested to leave properties clean and tidy when they depart and to remove as much rubbish as possible. If you require any help during your stay we can arrange cleaning for you (at an additional charge).
Character Properties Many of the properties within this brochure are older cottages dating back to the last century or earlier. It is important to remember before booking your holiday in one of these properties that part of the charm of such properties is the characteristically low ceilings, doorways and beams. They often have steep narrow stairs and because of low or sloping ceilings, may have limited clothes hanging facilities. Many were also built before the introduction of damp proof courses and cavity insulation. These points are particularly important to note if your party has elderly or very young members. Thatched roofs and beams can attract spiders, and cobwebs reappear very quickly after being removed. We feel having made these points, however, that these are all aspects of such properties that add charm and character and would not hesitate to recommend them if these features are understood. If you are unsure, please ask.
