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.

The outlook from the lounge was fabulous with constant movement on the river Dart. The kitchen bedrooms and bathrooms leave nothing to be desired, everything has been thought of. I would have no hesitation in recommending this 5 star apartment and feel you will not find better. I would like to ask the owner to provide a bath mat as the shower is very slippery when wet and with no wall bars makes it difficult for older people to exit the shower safely. I would like to thank Coast & Country cottages for their help in arranging our stay. Will look forward to returning again Mike &Bobbie Winterford

We loved our time here. The views from the apartment over the river did not disappoint. Two huge bathrooms and good sized bedrooms were perfect for a group of four. Although top floor there is a good sized and quick lift in the block which was perfect for my 79 year old mum who struggles with stairs. The car parking space is also right outside of the block. Good to see tea towels, dish scourer, a few dishwasher tabs and other cleaning items available within the property. The location was perfect for us, a short flat walk away from numerous shops and restaurants, alongside ferry access. We felt very safe at night walking around and even had drinks at the hotel next door which was handy. A nice quiet area. We would definitely recommend this place and will return.

It is easily accessible. The car parking space is right outside and there is a lift to the property which is all on one level on the second floor. The view is exactly as in the photograph and, while the balcony is fairly small, the windows fold right back so that the whole room becomes part of the balcony. It is well equipped and comfortable. In our opinion it is the best property in this development.
