About this property
Dartmouth 2.9 miles. Settled on the edge of the Norton Chalet Park near Dartmouth, Devon, is this wonderful two-bedroom chalet, The Bolthole. Enjoying a fantastic location on the outskirts of the South Devon AONB and within easy reach of the Dartmoor National Park, The Bolthole is a superb pet-friendly choice for couples or a family of four. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, where you will find a well-equipped kitchen for whipping up your best dishes, ready to tuck-in to the fruits of your labour at the dining table for four as you recount the day's adventures. After dinner, curl up on the corner sofa with a glass of wine in front of the gentle warmth of the electric fire, as your favourite show plays out on the TV. Continue through to the contemporary shower room, where you can freshen up after an adventure filled day. When sleep calls, two tastefully decorated bedrooms await, a double and a twin for catching some well-deserved rest. Just a short drive away, you will find the Sportsmans Arms where you can treat your loved ones to a meal out, and a supermarket where you can stock up on essentials. For a wider selection of amenities, head to Dartmouth, where you can hire a boat to enjoy a leisurely trip along the River Dart, explore the historic sites of Bayard’s Cove Fort, Dartmouth Castle, and Dartmouth Museum, and tuck-in to fresh seafood at Rockfish with views over the river. Catch a boat over to Kingswear, where you can visit the magnificent castle, hop aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway, and explore the beautiful National Trust site of Coleton Fishacre. For a day at the beach, take a trip to nearby Blackpool Sands, where you can bathe on the sands or try your hand at watersports. Further afield, you’ll find Totnes, home to a stunning castle, THE TIMEHOUSE, and the Totnes Fashion & Textiles Museum. Your journey to Devon begins at The Bolthole.
Dartmouth is a charming town in the South Hams region of Devon, England, right on the estuary of the River Dart. Dartmouth is one of Devon's most visited cities because of its proximity to the coast and its location within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are many annual events, including the Dart Music Festival, the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, and the Dartmouth Food Festival, all of which take place along the city's beautiful waterfront and in its historic, winding streets. The South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail, and numerous quiet country lanes are just a few of the many exciting routes for cyclists and pedestrians in the Dartmouth area. A visit to the charming harbour town of Brixham is a must, as is a ride on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the countryside to Paignton. Blackpool Sands, winner of a Blue Flag Award, and Slapton Sands, an extremely popular beach not far from Dartmouth, are just two of the many options available to beachgoers in the South Hams area. A serene setting in the heart of South Devon.

Description was pretty accurate. Leaving only one roll of toilet paper,for 2 people for a week stay , is thoughtless. Leaving some basic condiments for the visitors, is low cost , but bring a hugh smile from the visitors.

Good for dog walking as not many people on site.,schools not broken up yet.Facilities very good. Definitely need car as site a bit isolated. Taking your life in your hands walking on road.Supermarket quite near.Heating good when needed. Comfortable stay.

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable with all the extras you could want, we could not find anything lacking. The site was very quiet and neighbours were welcoming. The area had plenty for us to do - three adults with different interests - and was outstandingly beautiful. (We live in a lovely area of Buckingham so expectations were high). We would certainly recommend the Bolthole and will be rebooking ourselves for next year.
