About this property

2 The Old School House is a characterful townhouse set across three levels in the heart of Dartmouth, Devon. With a public car park just a short stroll away, it’s a fine base for families or groups of friends keen to enjoy the charm of this vibrant coastal town. Climb to the second floor and you’ll find the hub of the home, a well-appointed kitchen/diner, ideal for rustling up hearty meals and gathering around the table for long, lazy suppers. On the first floor, the sitting room offers a relaxed spot to put your feet up, complete with a Smart TV for a quiet evening in.

From the upper levels, you can also enjoy some lovely views across the rooftops, a gentle reminder you’re by the sea. Step outside and the front terraced patio is just the ticket for a morning cuppa or a glass of something chilled come evening, all while soaking up the Dartmouth atmosphere. As for sleeping arrangements, the ground floor plays host to a king-size bedroom with its own en-suite (walk-in shower, basin and WC), as well as a twin room that’s ideal for kids or friends. Another king-size bedroom awaits on the first floor, a peaceful retreat after a day exploring the coast.

There’s also a sleek main bathroom with a bath and shower over, plus an additional shower room, so no one’s left queuing in the morning. A handy utility room with a washing machine rounds things off nicely, particularly useful if you’re in town for more than a few days or you’ve taken a tumble on a country walk. If you find yourself eager for adventure, Dartmouth's local area presents a wealth of attractions to keep you entertained. From the exotic animals housed at Paignton Zoo Environmental Park to exhilarating rides at Woodlands Family Theme Park, there's something for all ages. Journey back in time with a visit to Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves, exploring the fascinating network of the past.

Soak in the coastal splendour with a trip to Blackpool Sands, a hidden gem amongst Devon's multitude of beaches. Or immerse yourself in nature's embrace at Berry Head National Nature Reserve - a haven for wildlife and a hotspot for walkers. Finally, no stay in Devon would be complete without a visit to the National Trust's Greenway, the beloved holiday home of Agatha Christie, offering a glimpse into the life of the renowned author. Curl up after a busy day of exploration at 2 The Old School House, your serene retreat in the heart of Dartmouth.

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.
