A nicely situated property close to the centre of town. Well furnished and in very good condition, very clean throughout with all regular equipment available. Parking at property was a bonus as street parking was filled early in the day. Frederick September 2024

We have used Dart Valley Cottages now for a number of years and always been happy with their service and properties. 8 Mayflower Court proved to be another triumph. A lovely immaculately clean spacious property offering everything you would need for a comfortable home from home feeling, and not forgetting that amazing view to look out on every day of our stay.
Once again many thanks to the Dart Valley Cottage ream. Sandra and David July 2024

We have returned to 8 Mayflower Court this holiday home is very good with fabulous views of the river Dart. The flat is well located and in walking distance to the town. The home has good quality furniture and the beds are fantastic along with a well equipped kitchen and the shower is also great, we have stayed in many places where all these things have been an issue but this flat does not disappoint and you will enjoy your stay.

Just spent a week in Dartmouth at 8 Mayflower Court. The apartment is just home from home. Very comfortable, excellent decor, and altogether first rate accommodation in an idyllic location. Hope to stay again! Graham May 2024

We've had a lovely stay at 8 Mayflower Court booked with Dart Valley Cottages. I had queries beforehand about the size of the parking space and the staff were quick to respond with helpful guidance.
The standard of the accommodation is excellent and is very well appointed. it was very well prepared before our arrival. The provision of equipment and household consumables in the apartment was extremely useful.
We spent many happy hours sitting at the table and delighting in the constantly changing river views and the regular appearance of the steam engine and its carriages.
This was our first trip to Dartmouth, but will not be our last and we plan to stay at this accommodation again in the future. Janet May 2024

Really comfortable apartment for a family and perfect location. Only issue we had was that the company would not provide us with a code to access the front door despite repeated requests (we had a spare key which we assumed was the front door but couldn’t get in the building) We therefore had to walk around the block which was not well lit, to go in the back door. To not have access to both exit/entrances was not what we expected or safe. Guest October 2023

I felt relaxed and de stressed from the moment I came through the door. The apartment is well equipped and in an excellent location. Liz October 2023

"This is our third stay at Mayflower Court and each time gets better. The new refurbishment is absolutely beautiful, really comfy and we also love the pictures you have placed around the flat. The table in the window is ideal for enjoying the spectacular views. Looking forward to returning again." Hilary and Barry, September 2023

"So lucky with the weather and finding this great apartment" Liz and john Oct 2023

Just returned from our holiday to Dartmouth, 8 Mayflower Court is the perfect apartment to stay in, spotlessly clean & immaculate with everything you need for a perfect holiday, we couldn't fault it, the decor was lovely & with the added bonus of parking on site it was fab. The icing on the cake are the spectacular views that you get from both the living room & main bedroom, to wake up & see that stunning view every morning was just the best. We will definitely return again & would highly recommend it Sandra September 2023

"This was our first visit to 8 Mayflower Court, What a little gem it is. So lovey and immaculate, we could not be happier when we arrived. Love the decor and there is everything you need here to make a very pleasant and comfortable stay. As for the views, well what can we say - absolutely stunning,, we could not have asked for more. Thank you so much. We will return again one day" Sandra and Barry September

"Having visited Dartmouth before briefly, we knew the location of the flat would be perfect for us. Fantastic views, close to ferries and M&S. There is always something to see on the river. A very comfortable stay. 20th year in Dartmouth and many more in this lovely apartment. Beautifully kep, carefully thought out and very welcoming, Thank you. A wonderful week watching everything going on on the Dart." Steve and Erin September 23

"Our first stay at Mayflower Court and we've loved it. Such a beautiful apartment, modern, clean and with amazing view. We have visited Dartmouth before but never stayed. We will be back! Our favourite meals were at The Dartmouth Arms - great choice and lovely atmospher. Yarn do epic burgers and the vibe in there is chilled, chatty and welcoming. Greek delight in the market square, authentic, freshly cooked greek food. Thank you - James and Jo Aug 29023

Great views over the river. The flat was immaculately clean, comfortable and well equipped. Would stay again. Guest August 2023



"Another wonderful stay here, and we love your refurbishments! Our 6h stay at Number 8 and it really does feel like a home from home. Thank you for breathing new life into this lovely apartment. We look forward to our next visit." Rachel, Mark & Samuel August 2023

"Our second stay at Mayflower Court, all was lovely and it was great to be in Dartmouth again. Thank you for a lovely holiday and more happy memories" - Hetty, Greaham & William - August 2023

"Our first stay at Mayflower Court and we have loved it. Such a beautiful apartment - modern, clean and with amazing views. We have visited Dartmouth before but never stayed, we will be back. " James, Hoe, Abi & Lucas - August 2023

"Location of this flat is perfect for centre of Dartmouth and the view across the estuary to Kingswear is amazing. Accommodation is very well furnished with no expense spared and everything maintained in good condition. Double bed was so comfortable we came home and purchased the very same mattress! Lots of helpful little notes around to help with 'need to knows'. Fortunately the owners provide a parking permit for both the flat car park and Mayors Avenue - it is, as stated by others, very tight to say the least below the flat. Mayors Avenue car park can be busy all day so it's a little stressful wondering if there will be a space available when returning from a day out. Don't think this would stop us from coming back as we don't tend to holiday during peak season/school holidays and the flat, aside from the parking, is lovely." - Greenwood - June 2023

"Very nice apartment, central for everything in Dartmouth. Well equipped & very comfortable. Wonderful views of the river & Kingswear. Good to have a parking space." - Lynn June 2023

"Everything we wanted. Beautiful views, excellent facilities and clean, comfortable rooms. We really enjoyed our week in Dartmouth. and steps, was not the best start.

Thank you for a lovely holiday" - Joyce & Graham - April 2023

"An ideal location for a holiday in Dartmouth with great uninterrupted views of the River Dart from the property; within easy walking distance of the town centre." Keith - September 2022

"This was our fourth stay in Mayflower Court and third in No 8. The first things that attract you are the location of the property and the stunning views overlooking the river. There is always something interesting happening on the water and the steam railway beyond. The apartment is well appointed, comfortable and clean with all amenities. Having on-site parking is very important in Dartmouth which can become very busy. The bonus for us is the additional business car park pass which can be used for the adjacent Mayor's Avenue car park should there be several larger cars on site which can make it difficult to park in the on-site car park. This was not an issue on this visit but has been in the past. This all contributed to a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday." John - June 2022

"We have stayed in Dartmouth for many years, this is our second year at 8 Mayflower Court, a great flat with all needs met, fab views, it was the week of the Queens Jubilee, watching the Lancaster Bomber flyover was a real treat" - Michelle & Henry June 2022

It is immaculately clean, very well equipped kitchen, everything you could need is there. Walking distance of all the shops, boat trips and restaurants - it is all on your doorstep. Highly recommended and we will be back for our eleventh holiday next year." - Ann - June 2022

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mayflower Court - a first family holiday with our 10 month old baby son. The location was excellent with a stunning view. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for a week’s self catering. " - Hetty - May 2022

"You cannot fail to have a great stay in this apartment! No.8 is a very well appointed, comfortably furnished apartment with amazing views over the River Dart & beyond to the steam train arriving and departing on a regular basis.

We loved our stay and are happy to recommend to others." - Barry - April 2022


Our second stay at Mayflower eight
And as before it has been great!
We enjoyed the walk via ferries, lower & upper
And a cheeky slice of cake with our Killerton cuppa;
And Berry Heads views of the sky and the sea;
And Coleton Fishacre for afternoon tea;
And Torre Abbeys historic painting collection
And poignant Torcross to take time for reflection
There will always be a piece of our hearts
Left behind on the lovely River Dart. 'Jayne & Graham March 2022'

“We have enjoyed out stay in No 8. It’s a fantastic view from the window and the apartment is excellent.” Colin and Sue - February 2022

"A perfect holiday apartment over looking the Dart. Spotlessly clean and Covid safe. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to dine in, if that is your preference. Fabulous beds ensure a good nights sleep. Location is excellent, very close to town centre and various walks to suit everyones level of fitness. On site parking is a bonus." - Lockwood - November 2021

"The position of 8 Mayflower Court is impossible to find fault with.It has an everchanging view of the comings and going on the Dart and . in the unlikely even that this should pale, there is the nostalgic sight and sound of the Steam railway in the background. But... oh those stairs. I realise that the Courts was built before lifts were the norm, but, as someone of advanced year,s I will have to consider carefully before making a repeat booking" - Peter - October 2021

"A superb apartment in a superb location and we will definitely return. Nice touch was tea, biscuits and milk on arrival - very welcome. Parking is a bit tight but there is a parking permit provided for the larger car-park around the corner." - Darren - Ocober 2021

"Our stay at 8 mayflower Court was excellent. From the welcoming pack, through to the extremely well furnished flat.. the staff were on hand if you needed them. Position on the water front giving great views of boats excellent." - Scott Family - September 2021

"We have stayed at no 8 Mayflower Court a number of times now and it has always been an excellent holiday. Every comfort has been thought of by the owner and we would recommend the property. The only downside is the parking situation. Although a parking space is provided, they are not numbered for each flat and in this era of large four by fours, we several times found ourselves boxed in. - Anita - July 2021"

"Experienced a wonderful week as before and will come again without hesitation. A perfect place to watch the world go by with everything provided for a comfortable stay." - Peter - July 2021

"Having stayed at 8 Mayflower Court nine times tells you how good it is. It has the most wonderful views over the river Dart, the apartment is always very clean and tidy. The kitchen is the best equipped we have ever encountered, so I am able to cook a full meal just as I would at home. You don't even need to use the car - just park in the free parking area behind the apartments and enjoy walks by the river and boat trips to the castle and Dittisham. The steam train will take you to Paignton and of course there are all the lovely shops close to the apartment in Dartmouth itself. We can't wait to come back next year for our tenth stay at No.8 - we will never tire of the view and at night it looks quite magical!" - Ann - June 2021

"A lovely and convenient position to stay and with on-site parking which is rare here. Good views over the River Dart. Very close to town and with an M+S food store just round the corner. Didn't use car for the week but went on boats, trains and buses." - Michael - June 2021

"We had a really lovely time at 8 Mayflower Court. The flat was light, spotless and well kitted out. The bedrooms are a good size and the open plan dining/living room with spectacular view delighted from dawn to dusk." - Dimbleby partners - June 2021

"We have just returned from a very relaxing holiday in this superb accommodation. Ticks all the boxes for cleanliness , well furnished and home from home comforts. Will definitely be returning." - Hilary - May 2021

"Everything in place for a Covid safe holiday. The flat was spotless. Ideal location, near to shops in the centre of Dartmouth. Numerous riverside walks of various lengths. Excellent River Dart view with something to watch from the lounge window at any time of day. Everything you would want for a relaxing break. Communal front door not in use to comply with current regulations but there was no problem using the stairs to the back door. Private parking was a bonus." Steve - May 2021

"The apartment was spotlessly clean with everything we needed. The view is superb and the location means you don't have to get the car out everyday. The climb up the stairs mean you can have cream teas and ice cream without feeling guilty." Graham - September 2020

"Having stayed at several apartments in Mayflower Court we returned to number 8 as our favourite. So soon after the Coronavirus lockdown, we were a little concerned about being away from home. We need not have worried. Everything was perfectly organised, clean and welcoming in every way, despite the necessary restrictions. Number 8 provides the most relaxing and comfortable environment with superb views." Miriam - August 2020

"My wife treated me for a week in Dartmouth for my 70th. We were in a great location with parking and shops nearby no driving required unless you were interested in surrounding areas. The apartment has great views and very comfortable even on a rainy day there was lots going on in the estuary. The harbour front and local shops are all on the flat and level mainly. Which made looking around easy on the legs. It can get quite steep for the more adventurist' in all a lovely apartment nice little town great views with no driving needed." Michael - January 2020
