In an elevated spot in the bustling town of Dartmouth, this charming period property offers high-quality accommodation for a small family or group of friends. From your front door, it’s an easy 350-metre walk down to the harbour past plenty of shops and dog-friendly pubs and cafes. This traditional home has a modern extension added, making it spacious and welcoming, and ideal for a group of up to four, and one furry friend.

The house is exceptionally presented with charming cottage-style decor. It has a ground-floor layout for a convenient and comfortable stay that suits visitors young and old. Its impressive glass-fronted kitchen/dining area has plenty of light and a great sense of space, with garden access as well as delightful views over the town. The living room is a charming spot for relaxing with a book or watching some TV while your pet takes a nap by the warming wood burner. Upstairs, the two bedrooms – a double and twin – offer lovely river views. In mild weather, human and canine guests can make the most of the attractive enclosed garden, which features paved walkways and lawns. There’s also a roof terrace accessed via stone steps from the garden – a perfect spot for lapping up the views while enjoying a pre-dinner drink.

Castle Cove (1 mile) is a lovely local spot where you can enjoy a quiet picnic while your dog runs free. For a fun dog-friendly day out, catch the passenger ferry across to the picturesque village of Kingswear (1 miles) where you can catch a steam train to Paignton (8 miles), a charming Victorian seaside resort with a pier. Any children in your party will likely appreciate a trip to the Woodlands Family Theme Park (5 miles). Free kennels are available so you can leave your pet for a couple of hours if she’s the tolerant type!

In the months of May through to November why not attend one of the many local 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.

A great location on the edge of town and within a few minutes of the boat float. Spacious accommodation and especially enjoyed sitting on the terrace overlooking the dart and boats at anchor,

We have been staying at this same property for 12 years, its an ideal house with garden when you have a dog, and an easy 5 minute walk to all shops & pubs in Dartmouth. Very homely.
