This two-bedroom maisonette in the heart of Dartmouth, a charming harbour town, makes is a perfect base for couples or families keen for a relaxing break with their pet. During your stay, you can explore the town’s quaint streets and visit local shops, pubs, and restaurants all within 200 metres of your front door. Dartmouth offers a range of dog-friendly activities – why not take a trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway (0.5 miles) or board a ferry to the bohemian town of Totnes (11.5 miles)? Keen walkers (of both the two-legged and four-legged variety) will appreciate the easy access to the South West Coast Path (1 mile) and Dartmoor National Park (15.5 miles).

The property has been tastefully refurbished, resulting in a clean and modern appearance for a comfortable stay. As you settle in, take note of the original features, such as full-height sash windows and the lovely decorative fireplace. You’ll do much of your socialising on the first floor, in the welcoming open-plan living area, which features plenty of inviting seating and a modern kitchen. After busy days out you can watch a film together on the TV while your dog finds the best spot on the carpet for a doze. The dining area, located by the window, provides an ideal spot to sip a morning coffee while watching the world go by outside. Both bedrooms – a king-size and a twin – are on the second floor, along with a contemporary family bathroom. Both bedrooms offer glimpses of the river and ample storage.

Dartmouth sits on the River Dart and is rich in naval history, with a picturesque harbour you can wander around with your pet as well as a weekly market within (300 metres). At Slapton Sands (7.5 miles) your pet can enjoy running around the dog-friendly beach while you lap up the scenery of this tranquil nature reserve. 

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many events and festivals in the area like the Dartmouth Music Festival, Dartmouth Royal Regatta, Dartmouth Food Festival, Torbay Air Show, Brixham Pirate Festival, Devon County Show.

Superb location, very easy to find. Comfy beds, comfy seats, all you can really ask for for a short break! The apartment was toasty warm and dry despite a cold and wet February weekend.

My husband and I enjoyed a lovely Christmas break at The Nest, the location is perfect and the accommodation was well equipped, warm and comfortable. The stairs are very steep (this is referenced when booking which is great), but much steeper than expected, and the bannisters on both sets are loose (maybe as these are used to stabilise you when Read morewalking up and down), we were a little worried that they would come loose. The location is absolutely perfect, but the walls, carpets and skirting boards were a little tired and scuffed which detracted from the overall look. The communication leading up to, during and after our stay from Original Cottages was superb! Hide

The Nest is ideally located in the centre of Dartmouth. There is room outside the property to pull up and unload the car without affecting the flow of traffic. There is a toilet on each floor which is ideal for day and night use. We will definitely stay at the Nest again and would highly recommend this property to anyone who loves Dartmouth.

This is a perfect holiday spot in the centre of town, close to the river. There are beautiful coves a short walk away and there is plenty to keep you occupied in town - shopping, crabbing, a visit to the outdoor pool and plenty more. Would definitely recommend a stay at The Nest.
