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.

This was our second visit, and certainly didnât disappoint. We had everything needed for a great holiday. The views from the snug are fantastic, a real bonus. Would definitely return.

The house is very comfortable with everything you need. The history of it is fascinating and the art work and pictures around the house are brilliant. It was spotlessly clean and was nice to arrive to everything needed to make a drink on arrival. Both bathrooms have a bath and shower so would comfortably cater for a family. The âsnugâ at the top of the house is amazing with stunning views. We enjoyed a morning cuppa and a glass of wine in the evening. Dartmouth is a fantastic place to visit with lots to see and do. We will 100% be returning to Onedin House.
