Reviews for Dart Marina Hotel

Review 1：Can I suggest that with the full English breakfast that you use less of a 'meaty' sausage. Although the one on offer was a quality product it was more like a toulouse sausage better suited to a cassoulet. The bacon I thought was of lower quality and undercooked. Pity to get wrong - makes the world of difference. Overall though breakfast was good.

Review 2：The location is excellent and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The room my wife and I stayed in was immaculately clean. We will definitely consider staying at the Dart Marina again

Review 3：long trudge to bedroom . Complacent staff--this Hotel is very poorly managed --I suspect the manager should be sacked.

Review 4：convenient location and car parking

Review 5：We loved the position and the views. The food was superb. The staff were friendly attentive and efficient. The room was comfortable and well appointed.

Review 6：Deserted by 10.30 and quite an effort to get late bite to eat with only soup and sandwiches available.

Review 7：Great location by the Dart and an easy stroll into town. Beautiful view. Spacious room with two very comfortable arm chairs and bed. Excellent breakfast and friendly service. Easy parking. No time to use the Spa but great reviews.

Review 8：swimming pool water was a bit chilly and smaller than it looks in the photos.

Review 9：staff very friendly and helpful, lovely breakfast.room spacious and bed very comfortable. complimentry plum liqueur was very nice.

Review 10：Nothing at all.

Review 11：Absolutely everything! The Dart is our very fave hotel - there is just one thing wrong with it. It is just SO ab-fab that we don't want to go anywhere else!

Review 12：Breakfast was a confusion. Although not busy at this time of year, we were forgotten for over 30mins. Some food over cooked, other parts very under. Had to send one back.

Review 13：The room was superb. The staff were very helpful and polite. Lovely location, nice outlook and within easy reach of the town.

Review 14：Evening meal was pricey.

Review 15：The location is absolutely beautiful and the hotel itself is welcoming and comfortable. We had a lovely room with a fabulous view of the River Dart. Liked the little milk bottles in the fridge (instead of those awful plastic containers) and the teapot with cups and saucers. Breakfasts were superb.

Review 16：Bath taps required a degree in plumbing to operate. Bloody Mary needed some flair eg more than tomato juice, vodka and a mug full of Tabasco. How about L&P celery salt and far less tabasco, Sherry?

Review 17：Food, room and views.

Review 18：I liked the decor including black/white photos, the view of river and ferry from bedroom, dining room and lounge, the bedroom balcony, outside terrace, gardens, parking facilities, the food and wine and the attentive nature of staff.

Review 19：The décor in our top floor room was rather dated and dark and in the public areas there were threadbare patches in the carpets around the lift and stairs. This is not acceptable given the prices charged for rooms.

Review 20：The location is this hotel's best feature and the parking is good. The bed was large and very comfortable.

Review 21：There was nothing I can think of that we didn't like or found negative to our enjoyment of our stay at Dart Marina. All the staff did all they could to make sure we had a very positive and pleasurable time.

Review 22：The helpful attitude and desire to ensure the comfort of us guests was very impressive.

Review 23：bathroom rather small and cramped.for a hotel of this quality. I would prefer a separate shower cubicle.

Review 24：the superb location and beautiful view.The attractive spacious dining room.and .excellent breakfast.An interesting collection of Art and photographs.

Review 25：No bad experience at all but I would prefer to have a walk in shower rather than the shower over the bath. I understand there are now rooms which have wet rooms instead of the traditional bathrooms.

Review 26：The location is superb, the staff so friendly and hotel is comfortable.. Relatively informal with a lovely dining room.. The terrace outside overlooking the Marina is great to while away a few hours with either a drink and a snack or afternoon tea.

Review 27：Ordered cream tea at quay side. Tea arrived and was drunk. Waited over half an hour for scones to arrive and in the end cancelled them. Said we would pay for pots of tea but were told no charge would be made."

Review 28：Easy walking distance of Dartmouth. Outside seating on quay side. Children loved the swimming pool.

Review 29：Nothing bad to tell.

Review 30：Lovely hotel on the picturesque river Dart. Very nice and friendly staff. Good restaurant and food, good bar and very nicely decorated and all to a very high standard. Would most definitely stay at this Hotel again.

Review 31：Disappointed with the breakfast so was not inclined to have dinner. Bedroom rather old fashioned. When I settled the bill I was not asked if I enjoyed my stay.

Review 32：Location, views. Good size bedroom. Easy parking

Review 33：Leisure facilities disappointing Very small pool - unable to actually swim Jacuzzi similar Small mixed changing room

Review 34：Polite attentive staff Great riverside location Good food Easy walk to quay

Review 35：Nothing at all!!

Review 36：Your lovely staff always look after us so well. On this occasion - our somewhat mature 20th wedding anniversary - we were treated royally: fizz in our upgraded room,a cake, and piped in chocolate "Happy Anniversary" around my pud! Where else could we have celebrated so brilliantly? - all good wishes, Trevor and Maureen White.

Review 37：A little bit expensive for us to stay more than one night

Review 38：Location brilliant and it has been tastefully modernised. Lovely touch to have the liqueur when arriving.

Review 39：Everything was first class. Great attention to detail and nice touches such as fresh milk in refrigerator, binoculars in room. Very attentive staff. Location superb alongside Dart Marina. Outside areas beautifully landscaped with a variety of seating areas to relax with a coffee or glass of wine. Will certainly stay here again.

Review 40：The only thing that we would have changed at all was the evening meal. We here expecting a little more wow factor from our dinner but it just wasn't quite there.

Review 41：Our stay was wonderful. The staff are very helpful, the rooms are perfect and the atmosphere is spot on. Definitely be returning in the future.

Review 42：Some staff in dining room seemed disinterested in their work.

Review 43：Very comfy bedroom and decent sized bathrooms. Superb location, view of marina and sailing boats.

Review 44：Only minor negative was the full English breakfast both mornings which was over cooked and could have been a touch better, but that's being very picky!

Review 45：Spent a lovely weekend at the hotel to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. Fantastic location next to the River Dart. Staff couldn't have been more helpful in arranging flowers and champagne which was awaiting for us in the room when we arrived. Room was comfortable and clean which you would expect of this hotel. We ate in the restaurant the first night. Food was good although full english breakfast was a touch over cooked but that's being very picky! A thoroughly enjoyable stay and would recommend and we will return in the future

Review 46：Some staff were abrupt and the reception area needs attention.

Review 47：Lovely location wonderful food. Rooms are spacious would of liked one with a balcony but it did have a lovely decking area where you sit outside.

Review 48：Nothing

Review 49：We spent our anniversary weekend here. We did not tell anyone about our occassion so it's not like extra effort was only made for us, but everyone was lovely, ver efficient and the room was absolutely brilliant with an amazing view! Food was to die for too.

Review 50：Would prefer slightly larger windows in the bedroom (room 64) and fridge was awkward to open and close but certainly nothing to put us off staying again.

Review 51：Free parking on site. Location - short walk from town centre but far enough away to eliminate noise. Fabulous views of river Dart and boats.

Review 52：Wasn't warned it was a building site with drills going and stinking of paint and rude workmen. Hole in room carpet Window broken 2 tissues in box Dirty bathroom A

Review 53：We had a standard room which was very nice. We would next time like a bigger bathroom so would upgrade.

Review 54：The view from the restaurant & bedroom window of the river with the boats and the noiseless ferry toing & froing always something to going on but quietly.

Review 55：Dissointed in restaurant service. slow at times. Trainee waiters seemed to lack competence and appeared to have little supervison. Plus I also didn't like the staff laying up a table for breakfast when you are enjoying an evening meal. Not from this standard of hotel

Review 56：Venue was great right on riverside Very comfortable rooms Good bar and lounge service

Review 57：The friendliness of staff and calm, inviting interiors. A perfect stroll from the town with a great selections of restaurants. Refurbishment were going on but they did not mar our stay or wake us up!

Review 58：Building / Refurbishment work is currently going on at the hotel which is putting the car-park spaces under some pressure with an excess of builders vans etc - But otherwise little nuisance from the work.

Review 59：It was all good - The room we had was excellent by any standard.

Review 60：The location , the food at dinner and breakfast was delicious, and the offer of plum liqueur welcome drink went down a treat. Concierge John, most helpful especially. I loved it.

Review 61：Front of house talking loudly about her deoderant patches at breakfast! At 7.50 a glass for prosseco I at last expect some complimentary nibbles!

Review 62：Staff were friendly and helpful. Bed very comfortable and room nice and quiet. stunning views, watching hypnotic journey of ferry back and forth...

Review 63：The bathroom are a little uninspiring but this is a minor point.

Review 64：Excellent attentive staff - nothing was too much trouble. 24 hour bar much appreciated! Lovely new refurbishment Very comfortable bed Beautiful views over the marina from our room and the restaurant

Review 65：The spa was perfect, the food was perfect, the bed was perfect, I can't sum up how brilliant this hotel was and how it finished off a brilliant weekend.

Review 66：The pool is rather small & no shower gel in the showers in the shower area. The entrance to the pool/spa is outside of the main hotel which isn't ideal. Wines overpriced

Review 67：Everything..!! Wonderful food, staff, room, location

Review 68：On my arrival the waste bin in my bathroom had not been emptied from the previous occupants. By the number of toilet roll cardboard 'empties' in the bin it hadn't been touched for a week. The bin was full of used tissues, they stunk it was disgusting. I wondered what other cleaning had been overlooked

Review 69：The hotel as on previous visits provided excellent service and I thoroughly recommend the full English Breakfast and on the whole would recommend the hotel to anyone and I shall return myself at the earliest opportunity.

Review 70：Just the most perfect place to relax and unwind. Gone staff are professional, attentive and polite so refrefreshing. The food is beautifully presented and delicious. Lovely picturesque setting with the added bonus of the Spa to chill in we will return.

Review 72：Location and view

Review 73：The bench seats in the dining room are too low for the table, I am 6 feet tall, but still needed to sit on a cushion

Review 74：Very friendly welcome every day, particularly from John.

Review 75：Bed not made properly made up on one occasion. Bathroom a bit tired - not enough towel rails. Poor choice of cereals at breakfast - only served in mini packets Not value for money.

Review 76：Welcoming hotel in fantastic location with a large car park. Comfortable bed with great vie from bedroom.

Review 77：Too many dirty towels, bedlinen and vacuum cleaners in passageways on 2nd floor. Whilst we loved the setting of the hotel, we felt it was a bit overpriced.

Review 78：Set in a wonderful location and made to feel very welcome on arrival.

Review 79：The location and presentation of the hotel is excellent but it really was the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff that made it for us. We were late for breakfast one morning but they went out of there way to provide us with a great brekky despite the kitchen being closed. Also the spa was fantastic. It's not a cheap place to stay but worth it.

Review 85：The position with stunning views

Review 86：We found the dinner, whilst very well cooked and presented, was a little too 'gimmicky' for our liking. i.e the foam on the asparagus tips was somehow off-putting and didn't really taste of anything. We would have like more vegetables with the meal. too.
