About this property
Lose yourself in the magic of Dartmouth in this stylish apartment in the heart of the town. The property sleeps four guests, and is ideal for couples and small families seeking a relaxing break on the beautiful South Devon coast. Dartmouth is a great base for exploring the English Riviera, with ferries and steam trains connecting the town to Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham. For a fun family day out, Woodlands Theme Park is just 6 miles away.
The ground-floor apartment has an open-plan layout and a contemporary style, with sleek furniture and calming tones. At the end of a busy day, relax in the lounge/kitchen/diner, where you’ll find a comfortable corner sofa to stretch out on as you watch the Smart TV, and a dining table for sharing mealtimes as a group. To the rear of the room is a stylish kitchen area, with everything needed for a self-catering holiday. Just off this room, up a couple of steps, is a handy shower room. Completing the apartment are two bright and airy double bedrooms. There is no outside space, but with the harbour and marina within 0.5 miles, you’ll easily find interesting walking routes to explore nearby.
Dartmouth has a vibrant town centre, packed with independent boutiques, galleries, museums, and eateries. The town is also full of history and heritage, and you can soak this up on a visit to Dartmouth Castle (1 mile) or a potter around Agatha Christie’s former holiday home at Greenway (6 miles). Dartmouth has two charming beaches, Castle Cove and Sugary Cove (both within 1.5 miles), or further afield you’ll find the family favourites of Broadsands Beach (6 miles) and Blackpool Sands (4 miles).

the cottage was spotless however with it being a dog friendly place the lack of out door space made it difficult as you have to walk your dogs for comfort breaks.

This property is in a great location, less than a minute walk to the embankment and town centre in Dartmouth. On arrival we were able to stop outside and unload then park the car a few minutes walk away on a residential street (parking is notoriously bad in Dartmouth, particularly on Regatta week when we stayed). The property was exceptionally clean and spacious and very well appointed. The bedrooms are at the back and hence very quiet, great shower. We took our dog (and dog crate) and there was plenty of room to set up the crate. There is no outside space but for our purposes and with a dog it suited us perfectly as the town centre location means everything is easily accessible including a park in which to take the dog. Beautiful walks to the Castle and Kingswear via the ferry meant the dog could be off-lead. I would highly recommend this property if you are keen to get out and about. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.
