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.

It has a garage which our camper van couldnât fit into due to the height but this would be useful if you have a normal car as the parking availability in Dartmouth is restricted to 1 or 2 hours and 4 hours in the town car park. Fully recommend the property.

Beautifully refurbished luxurious house and with the added bonus of a perfect location 2 minutes from waterfront and with a garage with plenty of room for paddle boards, bike etc. that my nephew brought with him. Even a little office area for some work for those that needed to plug in laptops. Everything you could possibly want for a stay in this magical town of Dartmouth. Thank you.

There is a small leak in the bedroom bathroom on the 2nd floor. Also the electric garage mechanism isn't working so we had to manually hold it open whilst we entered and exited the garage. Other than that - 10/10 - recommended!
