Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. 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. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

Fortunately weâre ample to drive back to your office. Did try phoning but it was a recorded style message. The parking is first class ( we know hoe difficult it is to park in Dartmouth, outside your rental property, as we did own a house in the town. The crockery re cups & glasses which were very large & industrial let the property down. The microwave did not work but we worked round this. We would stay at the Dart Marina again.

It could have done with a larger TV in living room and also think the downstairs wooden floors need a 'refresh' plus more glasses in the kitchen. We look forward to returning to glorious Dartmouth.

This one was nice as it had the terrace to sit out in and have drinks and food. However even though the apartment was for 4 people there were no large bowls or pleated for serving food on. There were the normal everyday mugs, plates and bowls but if you wanted a salad there was nothing to serve it in. On a positive note the use of a windbreak, sun shade and two fold up chairs were most welcome for the beach trips.
