About this property
Dartmouth 1.4 miles. Captains Lodge is a beautifully presented, single-storey property resting in Weeke Hill, near the bustling seaside town of Dartmouth. With pet-friendly accommodation and well-thought-out living spaces, this property is ideal for a family looking to explore Devon. Park off-road and be welcomed into an opulent open-plan living space, boasting a kitchen with contemporary décor and ample amenities to cater to your culinary needs. In this light and airy space, cook up a storm, and enjoy your meal at the dining table, before settling into the sitting area with a good book, as the woodburning stove warms your feet. From here, access the enclosed, rear garden, ideal for dining alfresco, with the added bonus of a barbecue where you can put your culinary skills to the test. Shake the sand from your skin with a relaxing bath or warm shower, in either the bathroom or shower room, both with sleek décor and eye-catching star tiles. As the evening wears on, retire to one of the four well-presented bedrooms, choosing between two super-king-size rooms, a twin zip/link, and a twin room with two singles, each with their own character and charm. This property is settled into the countryside of Devon, close to attractions such as National Trust - Little Dartmouth, Fast Rabbit Farm Gardens, and Woodlands Family Theme Park.

For all of your holiday essentials, visit the popular seaside town of Dartmouth, which offers plenty of shops, pubs, and eateries, with options including Greek Delight, The Dartmouth Arms, and the Cherub Inn. The town boasts the intriguing and historic Dartmouth Castle, Dartmouth Museum where you can learn more about local history and heritage, and Bayard's Cove Fort. There are plenty of sports for birdwatching along this stretch of coast, including Slapton Ley National Nature Reserve, or alternatively lace up your walking boots and explore the stunning scenery of the South Devon Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Visit Paignton where there is a Zoo, beach, pier, and lovely cafés to enjoy tea and café in, as well as watersports facilities. Make a memorable getaway to Devon with a stay at Captains Lodge.
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.

The photos on the website do not do the property justice! For one all of the rooms are so spacious and easily could accomodate 8 persons. Great to have to have two bathrooms one with a bath and both with showers in. The living area is big and spacious and fitted the 6 of us and the dog with ease! Dining area and kitchen is also very spacious with all the utensils you need for cooking and dining. Fantastic decking area also which we used in the sun in October...... very warm abd nice to relax with a glass of wine. Also great for the dog as very enclosed and no chance of escaping. Location was good for me as I walked the dog into Dartmouth every morning - just over 1 mile downhill and obviously uphill coming back but for the non walkers you can park the car on the side of the road by Dartmouth castle to walk in. Very peaceful location and all you can hear is the birds in the morning - perfect. Will definitely be back and thank you so much.

It has off road parking for three cars and plenty of space to manoeuvre. The property itself is beautifully furnished with every need considered. A fully fitted and equipped kitchen, dinning and lounge area, that opens onto a private sheltered deck that is fully enclosed. Ideal for a large family group to socialise in. A perfect cottage to enjoy peace and quiet but in easy reach of Dartmouth, Balckpool Sands and beyond.

It was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable with plenty of room for all of us. It had all the facilities we needed for an enjoyable stay, including amazingly comfy beds - we have never slept so well! The sunny patio with BBQ was great too! It was also within easy reach of the shops and attractions in Dartmouth town centre, as well as Stoke Fleming and the beach at Blackpool Sands. I would definitely stay at Captainâs Lodge again and would certainly recommend it!
