About this property
In an ideal, central location for exploring the harbour town of Dartmouth, Aeolus House is located on Newcomen Road, just a minute or so (mostly level) walk from boutique shops, galleries, restaurants and tea rooms, as well as the picturesque River Dart.
Aeolus House is a mid terrace cottage, well presented and furnished to provide good quality holiday accommodation over four floors. The cottage is accessed directly from Newcomen Road at the ground floor level with access to a small but cosy sitting room with leather sofa and chair, LCD TV and DVD player, providing a fantastic holiday base all year round. On the lower ground floor level is a very well equipped kitchen with a range of white units and appliances, plus a hardwood dining table and seating for six guests. There are two bedrooms in total; on the second floor is a master bedroom with a King-size bed and en suite shower room. This comfortable room extends out to a sunny sitting area with a Juliet balcony boasting stunning views towards the River Dart. On the first floor is a cosy double bedroom. In addition to the master en suite is a family bathroom.
Perfectly located for a coastal break, the Start Bay coastline is nearby and Blackpool Sands beach is just a 5-10 minute drive away, whilst Woodlands Leisure Park is just three miles outside of Dartmouth. For those travelling with a dog, several of the popular Start Bay beaches and eateries are dog friendly.
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.
