Lovely staff, great breakfast - with genuinely tasty non-meat options, super dog friendly, and atmosphere of a very old Inn/pub.
We had the most amazing time at Bayard’s Cove Inn. We stayed in the Nelson Suite, which was full of character, with a sea view on one side and beautiful Dartmouth on the other.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome, and that warmth continued throughout our stay. The breakfast was the best we’ve ever had, and the staff truly couldn’t do enough for us.
Highly recommended!

Cost, comfort, friendly staff made us feel at home. Food is great and breakfast awesome. Great location
What a fantastic stay we had. The staff was friendly and welcoming, the food was excellent, and the room comfortable. A 13th century building beautifully redone in the heart of Dartmouth. You can't go wrong staying here.
Lovely touches in the room, handmade soap, face cloths, earplugs, little goodie bag on checkout.
Team were all amazing.
Lovely breakfast served with great coffee.
Great spot right on the cove where you can sit and watch the boats come and go.
We really enjoyed staying at Bayards Cove during our honey moon week- the staff were fantastic and the hotel was beautiful and located right next to the sea and next to the main high street.
The staff were so kind and thoughtful. Lovely little touches in the bedrooms. Quaint and quirky hotel with all mod cons. So looking forward to another visit.
The staff are super friendly, the vegan breakfast was incredible. The room was immaculate and beautiful and Dartmouth town is on the doorstep. A perfect weekend away.
We have stayed here before and are always welcomed and given excellent service
This time we noticed more dogs some unfortunately not well trained which I did not appreciate !
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.
The property is in the heart of Dartmouth an undoubted beauty spot .welcome and staff friendly and helpful. The Mountbaten suite is lovely but is slighty noisy being next to the kitchen and above a pub
All the staff were very helpful and friendly.
The hotel was all we had hoped for with all the character you could hope for.
The quality of the service , food , drink and facilities was outstanding.
Would love to return sometime.
