Dartmouth is located in the well-liked and attractive South Hams region of South Devon, along the banks of the lovely River Dart estuary. Dartmouth is one of the most well-liked tourist sites in Devon because of its location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and proximity to the shore. It boasts a beautiful waterfront, historic, winding alleys lined with quaint shops, eateries, and art galleries, as well as a variety of regional events like the yearly Dart Music Festival, the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, and the October Dartmouth Food Festival. The Dart Valley Trail, the South West Coast Path, and several peaceful rural lanes are just a few of the intriguing cycling and walking paths that can be found in and around Dartmouth.

Clean, spacious and in good order. The kitchen was well equipped which is often not the case in other places we've stayed. Quiet location with parking, a bonus in Dartmouth.

Initial impressions on first entering the property were good, but less so on closer inspection and use. Cleanliness left something to be desired, as there was dust on all the glass tables, and the floor tiles in the kitchen and downstairs cloakroom had dirt stuck on them. We would also have wanted to thoroughly clean the oven and microwave before use should we have chosen to use them. Some features also proved to be more âdesignerâ than properly functional. Do not want to be too critical, as property has many merits for a short stay - its location outside Dartmouth, but within walking distance of the town and its amenities, own allocated parking space where car can be left. Full feedback for the owners benefit has been noted in âGuest Bookâ at the property, most of which was relayed to the agent when the keys were returned. We would also suggest that they might like to get the underfloor heating checked by an electrician, as the floor in the dining area seemed to stay hot at all times, no matter what we did to the controller. There is also a warning message showing on one of the controllers at the top of the stairs, indicating that maximum setting is too high.

Quiet, close to town - whilst being close to the castle and lovely cove. Iâve rebooked but would like to know how to switch heating off as it kept coming back on. Whilst comfortable when chilly, would have liked it not to come on in bedroom in the morning. Thanks âºï¸
