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.

The accommodation worked really well with the bedrooms being spacious enough to accommodate travel cots. The stair gates were a boom for keeping little ones safe. The property was very well equipped with sufficient crockery, utensils etc. We all loved the hot tub. The outside space is limited but the tennis court and playground close by were a bonus. The site is very well kept and although there are no amenities in the immediate vicinity, it is only a 10 minute drive to Dartmouth. The views are lovely. We would definitely stay again.

Property in great location, but unfortunately, the property wasnât cleaned to a high enough standard, previous guests had obviously been smoking/vaping inside the property from the smell, the garden wasnât maintained and a few loose fixings inside and out

Disappointing that we were told on arrival day (Friday) that the washing machine and drier were not working and would not be replaced until after our holiday but fortunately after our complaint, new machines installed on the Wednesday. An unpleasant smell from one of the sofas (reported by a previous guest) had not been sorted and was still present despite the efforts of the cleaning team. These however are minor niggles and we would have no hesitation in recommending this property.
