Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, 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 popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. 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 the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

The bathroom, downstairs cloakroom and what was described as a shower in the master bedroom are in need of updating. The shower in the master bedroom was not used as it looked ancient. Such a large room screams out for an ensuite

The house has everything required for a lovely holiday and is ideally situated for walk into Dartmouth or short drive to Blackpool Sands. We felt at home staying there and didnât want to leave! Thoroughly recommend the property for families who want to stay local to Dartmouth but can use as a base to venture further afield.

The main bedroom sliding doors and balcony was a real treat , and the view truly stunning. The home was well equipped and things like dvds and board games /books a welcome addition which we took advantage of .Ideally I think the bathroom could do with updating .I also think the washing machine is well past its best and certainly did not clean our clothes very well even when it eventually worked. The beds were comfy and extra pillows etc provided. As a party of 6 we found the kitchen of a high standard with the pull out table and separate dining room very good. The home is very nice and as with all our Sykes bookings we were not disappointed. However a negative for us was having to collect and return the key to an office in the town , as we had a large van this required us to walk and was not as convenient as a key safe . The country cottage personnel where not too friendly and seemed disinterested when my wife arrived. The cleaning was adequate but was not spotless , I include this as I'm sure the owner would like to know if they are paying for this . As a final comment I would say , lovely home , beautiful views , well equipped and comfortable. Maybe with a view of some updating in bathroom/ ensuite .Thankyou for our stay.
