Bring your pups to enjoy the fun and bustle of Dartmouth in this ground-floor apartment. A great location for couples or small families, it has a sociable, open-plan living space and beautifully styled decor, and is within easy reach of the seaside town’s beaches, shops and restaurants.

Step through the front door with your furry friend at your side and enter straight into your bright living space. Its high ceiling and tall windows create an air of grandeur, and the elegant decor includes pendant lamps and a dark-painted wall. At the far end, you have a kitchen with all the equipment necessary for creating delicious holiday meals, with a dining table for four – plus plenty of floor space to set out your pet’s bowls. A large sofa provides a place to snuggle up and discuss your adventures or watch a movie on the Smart TV. Two steps up lead to the bedrooms, both compact doubles, one of which has one side of the bed against the wall. A beautifully styled shower room completes the apartment.

Dartmouth Harbour and Marina are less than 0.5 miles from the property, and dog-friendly Sugary Cove Beach is less than 1 mile – ideal for endless games of fetch, but do check tide times first. In the town centre, you’ll find a wide choice of shops and places to eat and drink. Wander up to Dartmouth Castle, 1 mile, and explore the 600-year-old fortress, enjoying its amazing views, or explore the National Trust’s Coleton Fishacre, 4.5 miles, where dogs on short leads are allowed throughout the gardens and even in the cafe – grab a cream tea, Devon-style (cream first, jam on top) while you’re there.

This property has no dedicated outside space but you’ll be moments from the water with Dartmouth Harbour and Marina under 0.5 miles away. For a little greenery, walk to Coronation Park which has tennis courts for hire (under 1 mile).

The cottage is on the ground floor and appears to be a former shop or similar, so it has large obscured windows to the living area - so no views. It is signed on the street and easy to find. Only a few minutes walk from the centre of town/waterfront. Well-equipped with an induction hob, decent oven and cooking equipment/plates/cutlery, etc. No dishRead morewasher but cleaning equipment was provided. It was nice to be welcomed with tea/coffee/milk/biscuits for initial refreshment without having to shop for them first. The mattresses and bedding were clean and comfortable; plus a decent shower and nice clean towels. Bedrooms were on the side of the property, next to the lane, so away from the street traffic. We arrived by train/bus, so can't comment on how easy it might be to find nearby parking. Hide

Had a really lovely stay here with our 3-month-old baby and 5-year-old. The location couldnt be better, and it was very clean and comfortable, with everything we needed. Very quiet as well considering the central location! Would definitely recommend.

the cottage was spotless however with it being a dog friendly place the lack of out door space made it difficult as you have to walk your dogs for comfort breaks.

This property is in a great location, less than a minute walk to the embankment and town centre in Dartmouth. On arrival we were able to stop outside and unload then park the car a few minutes walk away on a residential street (parking is notoriously bad in Dartmouth, particularly on Regatta week when we stayed). The property was exceptionally cleaRead moren and spacious and very well appointed. The bedrooms are at the back and hence very quiet, great shower. We took our dog (and dog crate) and there was plenty of room to set up the crate. There is no outside space but for our purposes and with a dog it suited us perfectly as the town centre location means everything is easily accessible including a park in which to take the dog. Beautiful walks to the Castle and Kingswear via the ferry meant the dog could be off-lead. I would highly recommend this property if you are keen to get out and about. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Hide
