Hill View House Bed & Breakfast

On behalf of Brenda Bardsley. I thoroughly enjoyed my 5 night’s stay here back in early September. I had the single room with its own small ensuite, and it had everything I could possibly have wanted, was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. As a vegetarian the Continental breakfast was perfect and set me up for the day with plenty of fresh fruit and Jonathan’s famous homemade granola which I’m still missing! The owner, Jonathan was a wonderful host and really went out of his way to make my stay as perfect as possible, and as a single traveller his kindness is something I will always remember. I fell in love with Dartmouth and the surrounding area and having somewhere as welcoming as Hill View House made all the difference. Thank you Jonathan!

Beautiful room and wonderful breakfast with fresh fruit. We were really well looked after by our host. The weather was the only slightly negative thing, but there was still plenty to enjoy around Dartmouth - great walks and ferry and steam train trips.

After an unforeseen VERY late evening arrival (1045pm!) I felt immediately warmly welcomed by owner Jonathan, when he greeted me. The super comfy bed in my single room was much appreciated and was the start of a wonderful stay at the unique Hillview House B&B. The decor is lovely and also tasteful, with a mix of more modern and traditional furniture and fittings. Jonathan really can't do enough for his guests and there was such a personal touch from the 1st morning with the scrummy and substantial continental-style breakfast, including warm croissants. I SO miss the home-made granola, with natural yoghurt, fresh fruit and milk as a 'starter' and Jonathan picked up on comments I made about the beautiful, classical music playing (by local resident & skilled violinist, Patricia Canlan) and I have the personally signed wonderful Reflections cd as a lovely souvenir of my 1st holiday in Dartmouth. The room was clean and very comfortable with a great shower and a radio as well as a tv, with the small fridge very useful, not only for the fresh milk provided for tea/coffee in the room, but also as there were evenings when I didn't want a big evening meal, so could purchase something lighter in one of the local town centre supermarkets. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hillview House B&B and will definitely return, when I return to Dartmouth. It was a great holiday! Hillview House B&B is very central - literally a short (6/7 minutes) downhill walk to the town centre, but a steep one on the return of course, so an ideal location, but probably not suitable for guests with mobility issues. Although Dartmouth town centre itself is flat, all roads leading off of it provide spectacular views, but are all steep, so although a 'must' to explore, would possibly not make Dartmouth the ideal holiday location for guests with mobility issues/equipment.
