About this property

Dart Views is a terraced house in ‘Above Town’, a narrow lane that runs parallel to the River Dart, offering stunning views from the top deck of the garden out to sea and across the river. Dartmouth's boutiques, restaurants and tea rooms, as well as the river itself are just 10 minutes walk away. The Coast Path is 10 minutes away or you can enjoy a quick stroll to Warfleet Creek. The Start Bay coastline can also be reached quickly and easily by car with Blackpool Sands beach just 4 miles away.

Three steps lead up to a nautical front door, from there are two bedrooms at ground floor level. The master bedroom has a double bed and plenty of storage whilst the second bedroom has two 3ft beds. Also on this level is a family bathroom and additional shower room.

On the first floor is a light and bright open plan living room with a high vaulted ceiling and a large picture window, for making the most of the breathtaking views. The kitchen has free-standing modern units with beech and stainless steel work surfaces. The comfortable lounge area has a double sofa, two leather chairs, TV, DVD player and CD player with iPod docking unit, a modern dining table and 4 chairs. Ideal for colder evenings, there is a log burning stove. Immediately outside the kitchen door is an enclosed private patio with night lighting, ideal for evening dining. At the very top of the garden there is a modern deck with table, four chairs, two sun loungers and magnificent views across the River Dart and out to sea.

This property welcomes one large or two small dogs, and dog treats, bowls and an emergency lead are provided.

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.

    It has been beautifully and lovingly updated, whilst retaining some of the original features (we loved the door knobs!). The upside-down layout makes the most of the stunning views, and the top deck is just fantastic. I sat up there every day with my morning cuppa; drinking in the views; watching the ferries and boats bustling about on the water; listening to the church bells and the steam trains across the river. The kitchen is well-equipped, the bathrooms were spotless, the beds are comfortable and warm. It's not far to the town centre, the walk home is not too bad once you get used to the steps (we found several different routes up from town), and we had no issues offloading our luggage when we arrived. On our last night we got a parking spot in the lane, so packing the car to leave was easy (but we didn't want to). We genuinely hope to be back. For us, this cottage is a truly great 'find'.

    Good location, close to town and a nice dog walk up to the castle. The kitchen was well-equipped and had all we needed to cook. Nice touch to find dog bowls as we had left our dog's water bowl at home. My only gripe was the shower in the smaller bathroom which seemed to have only 2 settings - freezing and scalding! However, since there were only 3 of us we all used the second bathroom which has a fantastic shower! All in all, a great stay and we look forward to going back.
