This welcoming ground-floor apartment in Dartmouth is a great choice for couples and families looking to visit the South Devon coast. The two-bedroom home enjoys an elevated spot perched above the charming harbour town, on the banks of the beautiful River Dart. The entire area is a National Landscape, so you’ll have postcard-worthy views at every turn. You’ll be excellently placed to explore nearby coastal gems, including the tucked-away Castle Cove (2.5 miles) and neighbouring Sugary Cove (2.5 miles), both wonderful for a relaxed day by the water.
On arrival, step through the large oak entrance and into this homely retreat, which has a bright open-plan living area at its heart. Light-coloured tones create a calming atmosphere, while patio doors let in plenty of natural light – it’s lovely to open them up on warm days for an easy indoor/outdoor flow. After a day of exploring, sink into the corner sofa and watch something on the Smart TV, or cook up something tasty in the well-equipped kitchen. There’s a dining table for shared meals. The two inviting bedrooms – a double and a twin – each has its own TV, and there’s a family bathroom to complete the space. Outside, relax and dine al fresco on the private patio, which has astro turf and seating so you can relax with a morning coffee or evening drink. You’ll also have access to a shared courtyard with a feature water fountain, plus private parking for one car and additional roadside parking (subject to availability).
Nearby, visit the historic Dartmouth Castle (2.5 miles), which stands guard at the entrance to the estuary and rewards visitors with sweeping coastal views. Why not view the scenery from the water by hopping aboard the Dartmouth Paddle Steamer, which cruises past landmarks like Bayards Cove and Warfleet Creek? If you’re feeling active, the coastline is perfect for paddling adventures by canoe or surfboard.
