Historic B&B
spotlessly clean throughout all areas of the hotel . Its an old building so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues as most floor uneven and stair access steep. Rooms are quirky with steps and low ceilings , and small windows : if you love historic buildings you will love this . . Our room was above the kitchen , so it was noisy during service but the hotel offer a 10.30 pm quiet time which was appreciated . Breakfast was super with good vegetarian selection . value for money : well it was good but pricey but there is limited choice in Dartmouth itself and the location was superb for exploring the town. We had no problem parking nearby although in main season this may be more challenging . all the staff were polite , attentive and smiley, yeah !

Lovely hotel, friendly staff, clean, well appointed rooms, very central and on the river. Only initial issue is getting to the hotel on the one way system in the town and finding a place to park but once done everything else was excellent.

A great room and breakfast in a perfect location
Lovely place to stay in a perfect location of the town. You can park your car for the weekend and just walk around the town and easy access to the south west coast path. Very dog friendly and a nice greeting on arrival. Very comfortable beds and rooms and a great breakfast. Definitely would return.

Beautiful Hotel, gorgeous area, excellent staff!!
The hotel was beautiful and the area it sits in was even better. I must say I was slightly annoyed with the email I received prior to arrival which said there was no on site parking and gave details of various car parks in the area because I’m sure my original hotels.com search had that as a criteria but when we got there one of the staff members volunteered to move his car so we could park uninhibited for free all weekend, I didn’t get his name and had no cash on me but he was a massive reason for the tip on check out. Staff were all lovely and very helpful but Georgia really made our even meal a treat, so lovely and helpful and offered to bring deserts up to our room. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful and quality of food and drinks was top notch. Highly recommend Bayards Cove and Dartmouth generally, hadn’t been before but will definitely be returning.

We recently stayed at Bayards Cove Inn as we wanted somewhere special to get away after our engagement. We couldn't have been happier with our choice. The venue, environment, location, staff, food and drink were all excellent! The staff especially made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to accommodate us. We'll never forget our stay. it's a 10 from us!

I had visited Dartmouth about 28 years ago with my mom and dad. The Bayard Cove Inn is located very close to the house where they would stay for a month when visiting from America. The Inn was a perfect place to bring my daughter and 2 granddaughters to give them a glimpse of what living in an English coastal village is like. The girls got a memorial view of a place that I have very fond memories of with my parents.

Very good hotel. Friendly and helpful staff, excellent food and though an old building it was all in good condition. Having read that parking might be a challenge we parked at the park and ride. This worked well with a very regular bus; though plenty of pound coins were required for the £5 daily fee as the machine did not take credit cards. Note: telephone payment is also an option.

Lovely setting, cosy hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Rooms are a little small perhaps but comfortable. Food is lovely with a good menu choice and a great breakfast with quality produce. Only issue really is the limited parking. Out of season there is parking on the streets around the hotel and along the front but from May to September it will be a nighmare. Great location right next to the lower ferry.

We stayed for two nights in January and thoroughly enjoyed it! Bayard’s cove is a delightful retreat in the heart of Dartmouth. Our room, ‘The Fisher’ was well equipped and very comfortable. The included breakfast was top quality and the coffee was fantastic - proper barista style. What really made our stay so enjoyable was the staff - everyone was so friendly and welcoming, we felt a real family spirit and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back one day!

Lovely building, good service and location
Hotel is in a great location and the building itself it’s really fantastic. The pub downstairs is nicely done with good service. The food was decent, breakfast was excellent. The room we had was nice and big, and generally a really pleasant place to be. Issues 1. The room we had was located on the same floor as the kitchen. There is no air conditioning and so in the summer the windows need to be open and there was significant noise coming from the kitchen. 2. There appeared to be a store room also next to our room with staff getting plates etc back and forth to the kitchen. Again this was a little noisy. 3. There is no mobile phone signal in the room, the free Wi-fi provided is quite poor and there was no phone in the room to make phone calls. This was frustrating when trying to book somewhere to eat as we had to walk outside the hotel and phone from there. 4. The seagulls are pretty noisy. The hotel does supply ear plugs but it’s still quite a pain. 5. No room service - given the difficulty of finding somewhere to eat at short notice the lack of this was a pain. Overall a lovely hotel, excellent service but given the price let down in certain areas. I would expect a bit more for the price. Things like no free shampoo etc
