This is the perfect retreat for anyone keen to answer the call of the coast.

Cruise past Dartmouth Castle, Bayards Cove, Kingswear and many more scenic spots aboard the Dartmouth Paddle Steamer from Dartmouth Harbour, half a mile away.
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.
Entering on the first floor via external steps down from the street, the entrance hallway welcomes weary travellers to hang up coats and kick off shoes before retiring to the delightful double bedroom for a peaceful rest. If you’ve got plenty of energy left, head into the stunning open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner flooded with natural sunlight through the abundance of picture windows that frame far-reaching views across the river and beyond. Gorgeous, exposed beams and brickwork perfectly reflect the cottage’s rich maritime heritage whilst extra special homely touches set the scene for pure relaxation; enjoy sublime riverside views as you unwind and dine long into the evening. You’ll also find a contemporary shower room on this level. Mirroring the nautical ambience of the first floor, the ground floor boasts an en-suite king-size and twin bedroom which both feature wonderful waterside views to wake up to. There’s also a handy utility cupboard and a second shower room on this level.
Outside, lose yourself in the calming sounds of the tide and sights of bobbing fishing boats as you dine alfresco on the paved terrace which also features a lovely lawn; children must be supervised whilst in the garden. Please note that the property is accessed via a set of 50 very steep steps down from the street level. No on site parking, however a parking permit is provided for Mayors Avenue car park for use 24/7.
