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.

The owners did supply a large fan. A handle on a kitchen cabinet was loose, a bedroom draw curtain had fittings missing connecting to the track. A smell of "sewers" in the property, there had been a lot of rain and sometimes this smell was also around the town. Unfortunately (it is on a main road) and there was a lot of traffic noise. For me, a TV in the master bedroom would be a good thing. However none of these things actually stopped me having a good holiday. Now the good bits, the flat was clean, spacious, warm in the evenings, lots of hot water, loads of crockery and cutlery, you can see the river from the windows, its close to town, (and M&S). Private , secure and guaranteed parking for 1 car, AND, we will be booking again for next year, if you'l have us.

The property was spacious, clean, very comfortable with all we needed as a base for our holiday. Location is excellent, with a secure parking spot as a bonus. We left our car in the car park all week and used the good public transport connections to explore the lovely area. The M&S food hall next door adds perfect convenience. Thank you Stuart and Caroline - we enjoyed a wonderful holiday from our base at your property.
