About this property
Located in the historic naval town of Dartmouth, 7 Charles Street is a tastefully furnished cottage within easy, level access to the town’s shops, galleries, pubs restaurants and iconic waterfront where guests can partake in local boat trips, crabbing and sightseeing.

The lounge has a comfy sofa suite and a wall mounted television and extends into a well equipped, modern kitchen area with a four-person dining table, a range of appliances and a door out to terrace and parking area.
From the lounge a flight of stairs lead up to the bathroom and two bedrooms on the first floor.

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 the first time we stayed at this house but it definitely won't be the last. The property was central to everything. The only downfall was parking at the front of the property but if you were very carefull you could park at the rear where there was secure parking. Outside space was also private. Looking forward to staying there again.
