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. 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.

A relaxing location in South Devon.

The owners clearly care fir this apartment, it always looks freshly decorated and exceptionally clean, including the outside space. This year we are scaffolding encroaching onto the decking area. This was due to essential work having to be undertaken on the property adjacent to the apartment. The workman were considerate and polite so minimised the inconvenience. Our only negative comment is that we have to bring our own towels and this is unusual, sure the owners have their reasons.
