Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, 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 popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. 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 the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham.

Very clean lovely spacious cottage, well equipped and welcoming. Only a five to ten minute stroll into town.
The steps up totalled 16 with one very deep one near the top; not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.
Car parking space in centre of town which is useful but not reserved. Very busy as is a pay and display carpark too.
Terrace super quiet and lovely to sit on all day and evening.
We found it easier to access the property from Victoria Road (opposite the play park) as the property wasn't far up from there. It was also a flat walk into town that way, rather than up South Ford Road.

Cottage was beautiful, spotlessly clean, really nicely decorated, all amenities we needed for a 2 week stay. Having the log burner was fabulous as we had a couple of rainy days. Location was perfect too, just a 5 minute walk away from the centre of Dartmouth and all its lovely restaurants and amenities, but away from the crowds so nice and peaceful too.
