"Lovely property."
Fantastic location and views from upstairs over to Kingswear. Could sit and watch the boats all day! We didn't really use the lounge as we enjoyed sitting in the dinning room or cute garden which was so peaceful. Property is well equipped and set up. The 90 steps to the property could be a challenge to some, but so worth it. We enjoyed our week so much, we have booked to stay again next year!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are pleased you had a lovely time, and so much so, you have booked for next year. The views of the River Dart, and the peaceful garden are the reason we bought the house all those years ago. Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying
DARTMOUTH
Totnes 12 miles.
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.
