Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, 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 local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. 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 picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

There were 6 of us using all 4 bedrooms all of which were well equipped. The beautiful dining table was a central meeting point with tons of laughs. Thanks to Sykes for being so quick in sorting out the problem with the toilet seats. As the cottage sleeps 8 having only 1 parking permit was a problem. I tried to pay for another one but couldn't. I was unable to leave my car in the P&R overnight therefore had to move it every morning and evening. Either another permit or more information on parking would be helpful. All in all I highly recommend Dennings Cottage, the location is so central and the cottage beautifully done. Oh but we couldn't find the cutlery drawer for a couple of hours. :) a hint would help.

Excellent accommodation. Lovely and clean and contains everything you need. Only minor issue was the courtyard which wasnât as secure and private as expected, with a dog this can be an issue and could do with an extra gate.
Paul
Very well and tastefully furnished. very well equipped with all we needed. Very good bathrooms and showers. Lots of nice touches for visitors. ( We struggled to find the access gate so my only suggestion is to improve the location description with addition of photos of entrance gate from street)
