Town: 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. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular sandy beaches are a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

The house is in a great location with amazing views and plenty of space, but be aware that that unless you are paying the extra to hire the pool there is only ONE shower in the house, & this is only accessible through the main bedroom. This was far from ideal for our group of 8 adults & teens.
The house is very dated, not just in decor, but a number of items simply need replacing such as rusting toilet seats, curtains which don't fit the windows & bedding which had rips & holes in it, as well as blood stains. The toilets hadn't been properly cleaned & there was a lot of cooking fat left in the deep fryer which smelt.
Dartmouth & the surrounding area is lovely & we would recommend the guided tour of the naval college & boat trip to Totnes.
Lovely property in a great location with fantastic views over the estuary
The facilities in the property suited all ages from the swimming pool which was a great hit to playing pool to sitting on the patio with great views
The one negative was the housekeeping definitely not deep cleaned as expected in the middle of a pandemic and not good enough in normal circumstances
