Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

It was a bonus to have good quality shampoo, conditioner etc provided. No welcome pack. Most places provide milk, biscuits and some local produce but to be honest, not a big deal. Lots of shops very close.

It is such a spacious property and had everything we needed. I did feedback that the springs in one of the twin beds had gone and all the bedding was down which I hadnât realised. If you are allergic like me you can request for this to be changed so next time I will. Overall we would stay here again as it was so homely and the views were gorgeous.

Interest in the street below all day and clear views of the river. Bedrooms are all at the back away from the street noise. Good banisters on outside stairs.
