A short stroll will bring you to the SPAR, where you can load up on homely essentials, The Seale Arms and The Dolphin, which serve up hearty pub fare, and a list of must-see landmarks and attractions, including the Dartmouth Museum, the serene Royal Avenue Gardens, the historic Bayard's Cove Fort, and the hiking spot of Dyer's Hill. A ferry trip across the Dart will bring you to Kingswear, home to the Dartmouth Steam Railway and Jubilee Park, whilst further afield, the Dartmoor National Park plays home to an abundance of iconic locales, such as Burrator Reservoir, Wistman's Wood, and the breathtaking Canonteign Falls. All of this and more await during your next stay at Moonraker.
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.

Debbie
Great to stay somewhere so modern and spacious. The view wowed us every time we came in! Wonderfully comfortable beds. A shame the weather meant we couldn't sit on the balcony with a G and T ! Only suggestions...the photo of the view in the advertising doesn't do it justice! Also clearer information on recycling. But a marvellous place.

Stunning view from the living room and balcony. Outstanding. Spacious and comfortable bedrooms and living room. Very clean and modern and well equipped. Two cars can park comfortably in front of the house. Ten minute walk into Dartmouth. However, those with mobility difficulties should note that this is very steep indeed. Information re the bus service would be helpful, as would a big bowl to be used in the microwave would be helpful.
