Dart Marina Hotel and Spa

Not our first time in Dartmouth but our first to this hotel but it won't be our last. Fantastic location, good parking spaces, views to die for. Our room with a balcony overlooked the river & the ferry we could literally lye in bed and see the views. First thought was the room & bathroom seemed a bit on the small side but the balcony was big. The room was well equipped & the space well utilised. Very clean with lovely Molton Brown products. The breakfast was very nice in a beautiful room again with views. Waiter service, no buffet thk goodness . The bar was great , good selection of drinks etc. The staff throughout the hotel were all very helpful, attentive, we remarked how it was all run like a well oiled ship . The staff all seemed to gel with one another. This place is quite expensive for Dartmouth but having been we thought it was well worth the money.

Perfection Personified. We have been visiting this hotel for many years at one of it's busiest times. Dartmouth Music Festive. To say our visits have been a resounding success is an understatement. On all levels this hotel delivers. The staff are second to none - a tribute to the brand. The food is top quality served in a lovely environment overlooking the Dart. I am very well travelled - both personally and in business - and this is the only hotel that I simply cannot find any fault with. Why it is not 5*' is beyond me. Well done to all at Dart Marina - see you next May

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at this fabulous hotel. It was our 3rd stay there and there will definitely be a 4th (and more). The relaxation starts by arriving from the Brixham road which means reaching the hotel on the floating bridge (Higher ferry). The hotel is right there, on the river, minutes away from the ferry; an incredible location and views, which draw us back each time. The hotel is modern yet very classic and since our last visit has had a beautiful refurbishment; since one of our days was a weather washout, we invested the time relaxing in the lounge, the big windows making the most for us of the views, along with our complimentary bottle of rosé which is part of their current summer offer. The room was beautiful, with a balcony and seating, again so well situated for the views. Every member of staff was so personable, welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The reception staff do a fantastic job and our key contact, Rhian, felt like a lifelong friend within minutes of her welcoming us. The breakfast staff were so friendly and efficient, and we noticed were very helpful and supportive to older guests. All the staff, whatever their role are so visible and approachable. One problem, all this makes it so hard to leave at the end of the stay! And of course stunning Dartmouth itself is within 5 minutes walk and there is so much of interest to do. We couldn’t speak more highly of the Dart Marina and Dartmouth as a destination, as well as a base to travel round from. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing stay to all at the Dart Marina.

2 night stay in junior suite with dual aspect view over harbour-what a dream! Overall the hotel excelled on all fronts and cannot wait to return-thanks and restaurant excelled as per separate review The whole ambiance created here with such great staff made our stay so memorable-so thanks all

Tried to book afternoon tea today for Sunday 3 May. The receptionist was condescending and indifferent. She told us it is not served after 3pm and the best they could do was 2.30pm. Our preference was 4pm. We left. The last time we visited this hotel was for dinner we had booked as a non resident for a birthday. We were met by an officious maitre de who told us they only served hotel residents and our booking should not have been accepted. We should not be in the hotel and should leave. Seeing our shock, he turned and went in to the restaurant (which was almost empty) and returned saying as our table had been laid, we could, after all dine with them. We should have left, but unsure where else to go nearby we accepted, but the attitude spoilt the evening.

Had a meal in the bistro - superb experience. Staff so friendly - food out of this world, and of course a perfect waterfront setting. We live locally and it is so nice to see the hotel busy at off peak times. 200 word reqirement for trip advisor review a bit of a nuisance! No need to say any more!
