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.

A little disappointing that we couldnât enjoy having a shower in the main shower room for a large part of the holiday as the shower drain required unblocking.Having arrived on the Friday we reported it first thing on the Monday morning as we didnât consider it an emergency but we were told all plumbers were busy on emergency calls and we would be contacted the next day.Disappointingly we had to call again on the Wednesday to once again request the drain to be unblocked before this was done, although we could use the shower in the spare bedroom this was a lot smaller than the main shower room which slightly spoiled our experience.Since we have been coming here we have noticed more stains on the carpets which is natural with the amount of people using the apartment has but perhaps consideration could be given to steam cleaning these to freshen them up. All things considered we will return again as we absolutely love the location and the property.

You could literally stay there all day and look out at the River Dart watching all the yachts, Cruise liners, paddleboats and activity on the water. I felt I was part of the water â it was that close. The property was spotless and everything you needed was provided. If I could have stayed longer, I would have and I will definitely rebook this property. Stunning.
