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.

Excellent location within walking distance to restaurants, bars and shops. Lovely views of the marina, passing steam train, yachts and other waterfront delights.

Bit on issue with Sykes central office and the inability to speak to anyone when trying to make payment of balance - too automated and not user friendly.
