Perfect Location, Electric Car Friendly and Superb Views from Above Town
Our holiday home in the picturesque town of Dartmouth, Devon has stunning views and provides easy access to the centre of Dartmouth with its many restaurants, cafes, pubs, galleries and great boutique shopping.
In our family for many years, the house has acquired an eclectic mix of furnishings and personal mementos so if you like your holiday cottage immaculately presented with 12 matching mugs in the kitchen this might not be the house for you! If however you want a home from home that has the sun streaming into the master bedroom in the morning (blackout blinds available!) and a bay window in the lounge that you'll never want to leave because the view is so gorgeous, then you'll understand why our guests return time and time again.

Middle Floor: entrance hall, 1 twin bedroom with sink, lounge + bay window with views of the river and out to sea. Bottom Floor: Open plan kitchen + dining.

This house was absolutely perfect for our family (2 adults 4 teenagers). Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable. The views were stunning, even in the rain! We were able to do some lovely walks straight from the house and we also enjoyed Dartmouth itself. The kitchen was very well equipped and my only small point, that could be considered for future guests, is leaving one cupboard empty so there is somewhere for guests to put any food they bring. The host was very quick and responsive with any questions we had and the whole stay was fantastic from booking, planning and then relaxing!Thank you!

Many thanks for your review. You’re not wrong about leaving space…😆 We very much treat it as a home from home and definitely need to remind ourselves to leave room for guest’s favourite foods!!
Thank you for staying and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
Best wishes

This was by far the most well-appointed vacation rental I've ever stayed in. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the equipment one would need to cook at home, and there's both a dishwasher and a laundry machine. The house has lots of character—it doesn't give the usual "IKEA showroom" vibes that one finds in most vacational rentals. The property is located right near the town center (up a steep hill!), and the views of downtown and the river are stunning. Jennie is a responsive host, and we even met the neighbors during our stay and they are lovely, too. The one thing I would say is that we didn't have a car, but the spot is definitely tight if you want to park outside the property. Would recommend this rental to anyone looking to enjoy a few days in a quiet corner of the southwest coast.
I can highly recommend this property and the ease of booking, checking out was second to none. We arrived from London on a very chilly May Bank Holiday Saturday. How lovely and welcoming to come to a warm house! The heating was on and every single room in the house was very clean, spacious, and very well furnished with good quality beds, mattresses and other furniture. The sitting room has a long picture window with a view to die for! The house is on 3 levels with the kitchen on the lower garden level. The kitchen is very well equipped with just about everything you need. I usually take kitchen utensils from home as very many short rentals never have what you need but I didn't need any of it!! The back door leads to a small and delightful garden and again with a stunning view of the river Dart and the Atlantic ocean. Boats moored on the river and the houses on the hills opposite are a wonderful view even when the weather turns unpleasant!!! The house is on a hill, there are not so difficult steps leading to the town and the steps are right next to the house. Two of us are in our 70's and we managed very well - slowly!! The town below is lovely with charming little shops and places to eat. Because of Covid restrictions, we were not able to eat inside which was a shame. Another plus is that the local people are all very friendly and helpful and the service in the shops is fantastic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay there again. Loved it.
Charmantes Haus mit wunderbarem Ausblick in uentraler Lage
Sehr schön gelegenes Ferienhaus mit viel Charme. Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber das hat uns nicht gestört. Jennie ist eine wunderbare und hilfsbereite Vermieterin. Die Anfahrt über sehr enge Straßen ist etwas heikel. Für einen Golf reicht der recht enge Parkplatz vor dem Haus. Bei unserem Aufenthalt war die Spülmaschine leider defekt, dafür gab es von Jennie eine nette Entschädigung.
This house was just perfect for our family holiday - great location, so close to everything that Dartmouth has to offer! Amazing views from inside and out, loved hearing the steam train everyday, the hourly church bells not so much but it all added to the experience. The house itself is very spacious and one of the best equipped kitchens we’ve ever experienced in a stay. The beds were very comfortable and the blackout blinds a godsend! Would definitely recommend but the parking is not for the faint hearted… The owner was great and very helpful in all our communications leading up to and during our stay - we arrived very late and she made herself available in case we had any problems, which thanks to the clear instructions we didn’t. Loved this house!
We felt like in our own Greenway - the House is huge, comfy beds and lively garden with stunning views. Extra plus was the parking space and the 3 minute walk to the harbour. Thank you Jennie!
This house has the most wonderful views from the sitting room and bedroom. It is clean and comfortable with everything you need for a lovely holiday. The garden is perfect with garden furniture, palm trees, lawn and great views. It is on three levels so there are stairs to negotiate. We loved our time there.
Well we loved it here. Great position for access to the town centre but boy, the hills are steep around here! Good for the calves. Very much a homely feel to the house - set out over 3 levels with views to die for. Big bedrooms and plenty of space all round. Well equipped kitchen - large dining table. Excellent comms and information from the owner, Jennie so we did not need any help but it's there if needed.
This was such a beautiful location with the most incredible views. It had everything you could need and was a wonderful place to stay, close enough to any transport links you might require
stunning views ,definitely got the wow factor for the views from the living room, everything catered for ,parked up ,yep bit stressful only because my husband can’t park and it is down a very narrow steep road but luckily met the neighbours about to go down and park so helped us out .!so we decided not to use the car all week .(lots of people using the road just not us if your a confident driver I’m sure you won’t find it an issue)not a problem steam train to Paignton bus to Brixham , walk to little Dartmouth and do treasure trail round Dartmouth ,wish we’d done it first as it takes you all round Dartmouth and Kingswear so you end up seeing all the bits you missed .Fantastic kitchen for eating in really entertainment friendly .All in all couldn’t have asked for more,to be so close to the centre of town was perfect ,loads of great shops and restaurants think I might be going back .
We were so lucky to get this property during such a busy period and at a reasonable price. The house is roomy with plenty of space for extended family. The views over the estuary from the kitchen, living room, garden and bedroom are just amazing. The house was well equipped. The weather was excellent and we had a wonderful stay.
