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.

Highly recommend staying here. We travelled as a family of four with two young children and we all loved the house and the setting. It was ideally located a short stroll into the main town where there is a fabulous array of shops and restaurants and views of the river. The property was nicely furnished with three different seating areas and magnifiRead morecent views towards the water. The first floor external balcony was a fabulous spot for watching the stem train and boats come in and out of the area. The car parking space was handy too, although set up a hill to the rear. The walking up and down wasnt a problem to us and probably helped burn off the extra calories consumed whilst on holiday. We would definitely recommend the house and the location as a good base to explore the area. Hide

House is in a fantastic location, lots of pubs and shops within a 5 minute walk. Allocated parking space and enclosed garden for the dog were both big pluses. Please note the main bathroom is basically an en suite so you have to walk through the spare room. It has a bath with an attached shower head but no separate shower. The shower/ toilet downRead morestairs is a wet room and very small. The house was very warm and comfortable and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay. Hide

Wonderful house and garden/ balcony, very clean, well equipped and comfortable. It is on a steep hill and should be noted.

Great location close to town. The kitchen and balcony areas especially pleasant. Some great views. If you aren't used to hills the parking arrangement can prove challenging.

We had a great week at the cottage. So many good pubs and restaurants in walking distance and so many places to visit. The cottage was very clean, very spacious and well equipped. The allocated parking space was a bonus. I ended up leaving the car there and just doing walks or using ferries.
