One of the most disappointing and frustrating holiday rental experiences we have had. The property was dark, messy and had an almost overwhelming odour of damp/mildew. We found hairs in the bathroom, dead bugs in a disused aquarium, and stained sheets. There was clutter everywhere and personal items left out, including a pile of unchecked mail in the entryway. This is not the kind of experience we would expect from a professional, managed rental. On inspecting the house, we found a window that had come loose from its frame, and a toilet that would not flush. The overall impression was wildly different to the one given by photographs in the listing. The smell alone was so bad that we ended up leaving the property after an hour and staying elsewhere, yet the host and rental company refused to consider a refund, and even charged us for the cleaning fee despite us never having stayed in the property long enough to leave any kind of mess. The lack of reviews on VRBO made it hard to judge condition before booking - but we would urge anyone considering a stay to do an internet search for Beechcroft, Dartmouth reviews on other booking sites. The use of words like "disappointing" and "just about acceptable" suggest we are not alone in our assessment. Even though we lost money by moving out, we were pleased to find other, excellent accommodation with great hosts. We are very glad not to have ruined a wonderful stay in a wonderful town by settling for this property.
