Overview
Property code: OC-BC0910

Lead the way to adventure in this beautiful waterfront property. This is a great base for a small family or two couples to relax with their dogs and enjoy charming Dartmouth. You’ll have convenient access to the sea, the river and the moor, making this a perfect location for outdoorsy adventurers.

Enter the first-floor apartment via the stairs and find a gleaming modern kitchen, ideal for rustling up snacks and packing picnics. Rest and relax in the lounge/diner, which has sliding glass doors leading to the balcony, so you’ll find great views of the river and plenty of natural light. You’ll have access to two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin zip-and-link (which can be arranged as a super-king-size on request). There are plenty of fun nautical touches to complement the riverside location. Step out to the balcony to watch the boats or enjoy a drink after an action-packed day.

Anyone enthused by history and myths will find lots to enjoy around Dartmouth, with the castle (just under 1 mile), the Mermaid of Dartmouth (0.5 miles) and the fort (about 200 metres). You’ll also find plenty of places to try water sports and hire equipment around the town (0.5 miles). If you’d prefer ice cream (and a bone for Fido), there are lots of dog-friendly eateries to be sniffed out. For more four-legged friends, go horse riding at the Dittiscombe Equestrian Centre (9.5 miles), or take a beautiful walk around the Berry Head Lighthouse (6.5 miles). You might be able to see wild whales and dolphins, or just enjoy a cake at the cafe.

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many local events, The Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Shakespeare Week, Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta and the Dartmouth Food Festival.

After a week in this apartment, the view is star of the show. It is a beautiful location and lovely to sit and watch the water. The kitchen was well equipped and meant eating in was a very positive experience. The cleaners had done a fabulous job. There should be photos showing the steep and uneven decent to the apartment so guests are aware in aRead moredvance what they will be undertaking on a daily basis. This is not for the faint hearted or for families. We travelled with a 1 year old and whilst the ad did say 89 steps, photos would have proved very helpful in advance of booking, packing and travelling. The beds are very hard and uncomfortable. Mattresses toppers are low in cost and would add much comfort. Wiring should be hidden if advertising for family friendly as this looked unappealing and poses risks for young children. As mentioned, we travelled with a one year old, the apartment was extremely cold on arrival (early March) which meant our little one could not sleep. It took a few days to get this up to temperature. For the cost of the apartment, the accommodation should be warm on arrival. The bathroom is very dated and poorly set out for a family. The screen is siliconed onto the bath meaning bathing our son was impossible. The water flow was weak. The hoover was not working which needs looking at. The parking is very problematic in this location. There is a permit for a car park in town but unpacking the car nearby is very difficult. Overall it was a lovely location but the accommodation needs improvement. It did not feel value for money. Also be aware when booking, you pay Holiday Cottages for an Accidental Damage Deposit - this is non refundable. Hide

A very comfortable and well equipped cottage with magnificent views across the Dart. It is a great base for walking in the surrounding area and Dartmouth had an enviable collection of boutique shops. The best beach for swimming is just 15 minutes drive away (Blackpool Sands Beach - a light shingle beach and calm deep water, ideal for swimming). ItRead more was nice to sit on the balcony in the early morning sun or in the evening - you are a bit overlooked by the neighbours, but the view of the Dart soon means you ignore them! Parking in the main car park was no hassle and an easy walk to and from the cottage. Hide

Beautiful apartment with amazing views. Really enjoyed our stay. Had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. Only downside were the steps to and from the apartment but worth it once you get into the apartment

A gem of a find, the stairs were more than I thought, but was worth lugging the cases down to the most amazing view. The cottage was spotlessly clean and was just the most perfect location, 5 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. We used the car park suggested with the permit, and didnt have a problem parking and getting a space, might be an Read moreissue in the school holidays. But all in all we had the most wonderful time, would definitely recommend this place to stay unless you had mobility issues, certainly helps to work off all those crab sandwiches, and Devon cream teas going up and down the steps. And I highly recommend the castle hotel pub for food, it was a real surprise how nice their food was in there, we went 3 times it was that good. Another little tip is to get the little boat to the castle, 3 per person each way, and spot the mermaid on the way. Thank you for a perfect staycation, we are already wishing we was back there. Hide
