Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the stunning Start Bay coastline, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many popular events such as the annual Dart Music Festival, Dartmouth Food Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. This historic town boasts interesting landmarks, such as Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust’s Greenway House just a short ferry ride away. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through the rolling countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat or ferry trip across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the village of Dittisham. For those seeking sandy beaches, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular beaches just a stone's throw from Dartmouth.

As such, you can't use it for other items (ice lollies, ice creams, frozen food etc)... we experimented on some cool box ice packs and they didn't freeze so the above is true. As a family with small children, it would have been beneficial to have been able to have had ice cream/ frozen food stored in a freezer - which we were able to do within a similar property on the same site last year.

This particular cottage (1 coachmanâs) gets no sun and unlike all of the others has no private balcony or seating area outside other than a very uncomfortable picnic bench on a slope. The bathroom is smelly due to lack of ventilation and the towels never dry. The tiles need a re grout and shower a re Mastic as a minimum. The shower door runners broke due to age on the first day but I have to say maintenance were very good and fixed it on a Saturday. Although there is a shower over the bath it is not the type of bath you should put a shower over as the bottom is rounded. We are fit and have good balance and although I hate them, I think it needs a rubber mat for safety. There are 2 fridges but neither ice box works sufficiently well even for ice cream. The washer dryer is complicated, even reading the book I could not see how you could set the dryer separately. (I wanted to dry the wet towels) We had a great holiday and enjoyed the tennis court. The surrounds are lovely and it is a great location for Dartmouth but the property is in need of a refurb.
