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.

Our accommodation was very disappointing and it meant that we cut our holiday short. We only stayed as long as we did as we loved Dartmouth.

The views from tbe garden are superb. The house itself is very nice and well maintained. The house is on 3 levels, so we certainly got our steps in every day going up and down the stairs. The walk into town and back is not for the faint hearted as the pavements are steep as well as the steps involved. As we are a family that enjoys walking, this was not an issue for us. The ferry to Agatha Christie's house is a must and is a lovely way to see Dartmouth from the water. There are plenty of places to eat in the town, as well as several supermarkets to top up your supplies.
