About this property
Luttrells holds a captivating location over the River Dart, reflecting the elegance and charm of this historic riverside estate. With sweeping views across to Dartmouth, this enchanting home is one of the most desirable locations in the area. Inside, airy rooms in soft coastal tones invite relaxation with friends and family, while large windows and private terraces capture the ever changing beauty of the estuary. Just a short ferry hop from the vibrant heart of Dartmouth, this retreat captures the essence of South Devon’s coastal charm in an unforgettable way.
Perched perfectly in private grounds on the River Dart, Luttrells is all about that "hidden gem" vibe - with a serious dose of style and comfort. Think dreamy views, total privacy, and every reason to kick back and relax. This place feels like it’s worlds away, but it’s just over the water from this pretty coastal town.
Every room is thoughtfully arranged, allowing you to soak in this waterside scene, from the plush lounge with panoramic windows that spill out on to the sunny terrace, to the bedrooms and bathrooms basking in those views. Perfect for lazy mornings planning the day ahead or a leisurely breakfast al fresco, the terrace is your front-row seat to watch the bustling river scenes.
The kitchen is all set up for preparing easy relaxed suppers for your friends and family, fresh fish from the local market is a must. Choose to dine under the stars on the terrace and sizzle those tasty finds on the barbecue, or for chillier evenings the pretty table inside will be perfect. The open plan layout make for fun chopping and chatting. Relax after dinner with a movie and enjoy the warmth of the cosy woodburner together. A useful utility room and separate cloakroom are on this floor.
Step downstairs to the spacious airy bedrooms. They are about laid back luxury, each room is decorated with soft calming tones. The perfect retreats after a day exploring. The master bedroom has a door opening on to the terrace to let in that sea air in the morning. The private balcony off the main suite is a real treat, just you, your morning coffee (or evening wine), and a sweeping panorama over the river - it’s like nature’s own widescreen. Let’s not forget the en-suites, each bathroom is thoughtfully designed. One with a deep soaking tub, sipping your glass of fizz here is like being in your own private spa with a view. A rainfall shower in the second bathroom with fluffy towels and L'Occitane toiletries that just beg to be used.
But it’s the exclusivity that makes Luttrells truly exceptional. Here, privacy is not just a promise but an experience, tucked away in its own gated haven, this home offers you a quiet retreat while still being just a stone’s throw from all the charms of pretty Dartmouth. It’s a world of your own, complete with the sights, sounds, and subtle luxuries that will make you feel both spoiled and right at home. It has timeless charm meeting luxurious tranquillity - a perfect sanctuary to unwind, recharge, and fall in love with this area.

Nothing less than 5 out of 5. The house was exceptional and we are already looking at Finest Stays for next year. The only challenge we had was leaving as no one wanted to!

We give Luttrells five stars. It is a wonderful property in a stunning location. Clean and contemporary with comfortable beds, beautiful linen and super soft towels. The showers were powerful, lots of hot water and we appreciated the L’Occitiane products. We loved sitting on the balcony watching river life and enjoying the last rays of the sun. It is in a great position for the ferry and we enjoyed popping back and forth to Dartmouth. The steps up to the property are challenging particularly after hiking on the coast path but we managed them and thought of all those ice creams we were burning off! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and after much research looking at other properties we are so glad we chose this one. If we return we would definitely stay at Luttrells again, as we are not sure many properties can beat that view and get so much sun.
