About this property

Moonraker is a stunning, reverse-level style holiday home resting in the bustling town of Dartmouth, in Devon. An elegant, detached property completed to the highest of standards, Moonraker has been lovingly-curated to accommodate a family or group of six friends sharing, boasting off-road parking for two cars, lush lawned gardens, a collection of sleek, tastefully-presented interiors, and a superb location just a short walk from the nearest shop, pub, and the tranquil waters of the River Dart. Step inside your scenic new home-away-from-home, taking a moment to appreciate the vibrant, welcoming décor, wooden flooring, and the large windows that invite in an abundance of natural light whilst providing exceptional views of the Dartmouth townscape. You’ll find the living areas of this exquisite home on the first-floor, where a spacious, open-plan living space invites you and your loved ones to whip up delicious dinners in the fully-equipped kitchen, ample dining seating, and an impressive corner sofa sat opposite a sleek, wall-mounted Smart TV. To unwind, head out with a glass of your favourite tipple to bask in your peaceful new surroundings before you head downstairs to conclude your evening. On the ground-floor, refresh with a rejuvenating dip in the bathroom before you finally tuck yourselves in for a well-earned rest in one of the home’s three sumptuous bedrooms, which include a plush king-size with a Smart TV and an en-suite shower room. If you can tear yourself from your brilliant new dwelling, slip on your shoes and set out to explore Dartmouth and beyond. A short stroll will bring you to the SPAR, where you can load up on homely essentials, The Seale Arms and The Dolphin, which serve up hearty pub fare, and a list of must-see landmarks and attractions, including the Dartmouth Museum, the serene Royal Avenue Gardens, the historic Bayard's Cove Fort, and the hiking spot of Dyer's Hill. A ferry trip across the Dart will bring you to Kingswear, home to the Dartmouth Steam Railway and Jubilee Park, whilst further afield, the Dartmoor National Park plays home to an abundance of iconic locales, such as Burrator Reservoir, Wistman's Wood, and the breathtaking Canonteign Falls. All of this and more await during your next stay at Moonraker.

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.

    Great to stay somewhere so modern and spacious. The view wowed us every time we came in! Wonderfully comfortable beds. A shame the weather meant we couldn't sit on the balcony with a G and T ! Only suggestions...the photo of the view in the advertising doesn't do it justice! Also clearer information on recycling. But a marvellous place.

    We loved the balcony and a very spacious house. Excellent location for Dartmouth and local areas.

  • Pauline

    Stunning view from the living room and balcony. Outstanding. Spacious and comfortable bedrooms and living room. Very clean and modern and well equipped. Two cars can park comfortably in front of the house. Ten minute walk into Dartmouth. However, those with mobility difficulties should note that this is very steep indeed. Information re the bus service would be helpful, as would a big bowl to be used in the microwave would be helpful.
