Dartmouth, a popular and picturesque town in South Devon, is located on the banks of the River Dart estuary. Dartmouth is a popular Devon tourist destination because of its proximity to the coast and its location within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Dartmouth is known for its beautiful waterfront, its historic, winding streets filled with quaint shops, cafes, and galleries, and its many annual events, including the Dart Music Festival, the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, and the Dartmouth Food Festival, all of which take place in October. The South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail, and countless peaceful country lanes are just a few of the many exciting routes for cyclists and pedestrians in the Dartmouth area. Take a ride on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the countryside to Paignton, and then continue on to the charming harbour town of Brixham by boat. Blackpool Sands, winner of the Blue Flag Award, and Slapton Sands, a popular beach not far from Dartmouth, are just two of the many options available to beachgoers in the South Hams area. A serene setting in the heart of South Devon.

... but nothing more, had very average support from your head office who, while acknowledging my issues, did absolutely nothing to solve them other than suggesting I go out and buy the dishwasher tablets, bin bags and cleaning items I needed myself!! There was nothing in the house for basic needs, I don't need the customary scones and jam that many companies offer as a welcome but there wasn't event salt in the cruet set, no kitchen bin etc Quite a bit of the decor is a tired, holes in the wall in the toilet where the loo roll holder had fallen out and been re installed, a big stain on the wall, mirror fallen off the wall above the sink unit, fridge door broken, stains on the carpets etc. It was clean though, the cleaners obviously doing their best with what was there.

4th or 5th visit. Great views over the river, Kingswear and out to the castle. Staying again in May. Of particular note is the fact that the property is always cosy and warm- which is just as well when taking a break in the UK in March

Your advice was to bring some tea towels which we did, these were supplied but not dish cloth!! Crockery and cutlery all muddled up together which does not give a good first impression. The house was lovely and warm and the view stunning.
