26 Above Town

About this property

26 Above Town is a delightful apartment perched above the charming riverside town of Dartmouth, Devon. Offering flexible sleeping arrangements, a private decked terrace, and a pet-friendly welcome, this inviting retreat is perfect for families or friends eager to explore the stunning South Devon coast.

Set across two levels, the apartment combines comfort with practicality. The well-equipped kitchen comes complete with a range-style electric oven, gas hob, microwave, freezer, washer/dryer, and all the essentials for rustling up a hearty breakfast or an evening feast. The adjoining living/dining room is a sociable hub, ideal for sharing meals, planning the day’s adventures, or relaxing in front of the Smart TV after a walk along the waterfront.

On the lower ground floor you’ll find a restful bedroom, accessed via step twisting stairs, so do take care, and there is a cheerful bunk nook perfect for younger guests or friends on the entrance level. A sleek shower room with a walk-in shower and heated towel rail completes the layout, offering a refreshing start or end to your day.

Step outside to the enclosed decking area and take in a breath of fresh coastal air. With seating provided, it’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, or a quiet moment watching the boats drift along the River Dart. Parking is available in a nearby public car park, and up to two well-behaved pets are welcome to join the adventure.

From your doorstep, the best of Dartmouth is within easy reach. Wander through its cobbled streets lined with boutique shops, galleries, and seafood restaurants, or stroll along the embankment for lovely river views. Explore the imposing Dartmouth Castle, set dramatically at the mouth of the estuary, or hop on the ferry to Kingswear for a scenic ride across the water.

A little further afield, Totnes and Brixham both offer charm and character in spades, from independent shops and historic buildings to vibrant harbourside dining.

For a relaxed base in one of Devon’s most picturesque settings, 26 Above Town delivers the perfect blend of coastal charm and convenience.

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.
