Modern stylish flat with plenty of charm in central Dartmouth
About this condo rental
2 Fairfax Place is a stylishly modernised second-floor apartment in one of Dartmouth's most-characterful buildings. Sympathetically renovated to showcase its historic charms, there's also smart-home technology to control everything from the heating to entertainment. The partially stained-glass ceiling-height windows bathe the rooms in light and reflect the unique façade of this imposing, listed Victorian building. Great for romantic getaways, ideal for families and friends. A parking permit is provided. Accommodation: The lovely hallway of this second-floor apartment opens into the combined kitchen-dining room and lounge. The kitchen area combines the original stained-glass windows with modern décor, including coloured downlights from the marble-effect kitchen island and heated oak floors. It's well-equipped with an electric range, induction hob, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine (capsules not provided), and a wall-mounted TV - ideal for hosting a dinner party or equally a quiet night in. The light, bright lounge includes a smart TV, a large corner sofa and a winged-back chair - ample seating for a cosy movie night There are two bedrooms: The master kingsize bedroom; and a second bedroom, which has two single beds which can be configured into a kingsize bed on request. The bathroom is finished to a very high standard with a freestanding bath, a heated towel rail and a separate shower with an oversized 'rainforest' shower head. There is a separate toilet located further down the main hall. Google Nest hubs can be found in both bedrooms and the kitchen to access the voice-activated Internet Assistant. A high chair and cot are available upon request. Heating is provided by electric heaters and underfloor heating. Please note: there are small steps inside the building's main front door, then 35 stairs to the apartment. There is no elevator. Parking: A car park permit is provided for unrestricted access to the Mayors Avenue Car Park, which is a one-minute walk away. The permit does not guarantee a parking space, and it can get very busy during the summer and special events, such as the Royal Regatta week (during which the car park is closed).

The flat was well located for exploring Dartmouth and the nearby area. Parking was no problem either.
The flat had everything you’d need for a great stay, loads of space in the kitchen and a comfy living room.

We had a lovely stay over bank holiday weekend at Fairfax Place, we know Dartmouth well and we loved the central location of the property. The apartment is clean and well equipped and very comfortable. There are a number of steps up to the apartment, which we knew about, but would not be suitable for people with mobility issues. Highly recommended.

We loved staying in Fairfax Place. The location was perfect for a car free weekend and the apartment beautifully furnished. Light and airy the property of was very spacious but cosy at the same time. We will definitely be returning.

Looks great on paper.
Contacted agents re issues with apartment, stained sofa, broken chairs, damage to kitchen plinths and mould in toilet. Some of these were addressed. However the cleaning fluids they used left the sofa smelling of urine, totally unusable. Not a relaxing holiday sadly, not worth the price we pain as ended up sitting on kitchen bar stools for 5 days!!

Access to the flat is via five short flights of stairs which may be a problem for people with health/mobility problems, particularly carrying luggage up to the flat. This is not mentioned at all on the website accommodation details? The building is currently surrounded by scaffolding which is visible through all the windows. Again, no mention of this on the website, although I appreciate this may be temporary. The underfloor heating in the lounge was not switched on when we arrived, we had some initial difficulties trying to get it operational . We contacted the DVC helpline, everyone was very helpful, unfortunately being Christmas nobody was available to physically help out . Eventually, we managed to get the heating working by going to the makers website. I think the underfloor heating could have been switched on prior to our arrival, perhaps that would have saved everyone's time. These are all observations and not meant to be critical of the general accommodation which was fine.

Stayed for 6 nights, apartment very clean and tidy but could probably use a freshen up in places. Everything we needed for a short break, location brilliant in the centre of Dartmouth so walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants etc.
Car parking only a short walk away as well so no problem if travelling out for the day.

Lovely flat in the centre of beautiful Dartmouth
Had a fantastic week in Fairfax Place. The location is perfect, right in the centre of the town, and the flat is clean and very well-equipped (apart from a couple of extra kitchen items which would have been handy). It's a second floor flat, so there are stairs to get to it, but nothing too severe. The parking pass is very useful, as it can also be used in other towns in the area, The only minor issue was the wifi which was a bit hit and miss (even sitting next to the router we were struggling for a connection at one point), but that didn't detract from a really wonderful holiday. Would happily recommend to others and hope to stay again.
