About this property
Discover this pet-friendly duplex apartment, situated within a beautiful Grade II listed landmark, close to the bustling town of Dartmouth and just a short walk to the Warfleet Creek. Set over the ground and lower ground-floor of the building and boasting two plush king-size bedrooms, as well as its perfect position for exploring the coast, 4 The Pottery is perfect for couples, groups of friends and families to come together to enjoy this part of the South Hams area of South Devon. The historical building has a colourful history, having once been a paper mill, a bakery, an outstanding brewery and The Dartmouth Pottery; today, however, it has been sympathetically transformed with incredible attention to detail and has successfully retained many architectural features to provide an exceptional holiday accommodation. Enter into the apartment and be welcomed in by the open-plan living room, where the exposed beams and original stone wall compliment the contemporary furnishings and mod cons, ensuring a relaxing stay. The kitchen is complete with elegant white units that house quality-cooking appliances, allowing you to self-cater for yourself for the duration of your stay, and the central island unit makes a great spot of meal preparation. Once dinner is served, regroup with your loved ones at the dining table and tuck in, before toasting to a memorable holiday or whiling away the evening whilst playing board games brought from home. Afterwards, settle down on the sofa to flick through the channels of the Smart TV or snuggle up on the armchair with a cup of tea in hand. Take the stairs down to find the master suite, which comes complete with a king-size bed, a wardrobe and its own en-suite, whilst the second bedroom also benefits from a king-size bed and access to the family bathroom, featuring a shower over bath. Look forward to exploring your surroundings further as you take a leisurely stroll into the centre of Dartmouth, which is home to a cluster of places to eat and drink, as well as shops and attractions including Dartmouth Museum and the well-kept Royal Avenue Gardens. Discover the town’s interesting past by making time to visit the nearby imposing Dartmouth Castle or wander around the 16th century fortress of Bayard's Cove Fort. For the best views, don your walking shoes and hike along the South West Coast Path to Brownstone Battery and Berry Head National Nature Reserve, or venture to the Dartmoor National Park, which is home to Hingston Hill Stone Circle and the Norsworthy Bridge. Attractions that families will enjoy include the Woodlands Family Theme Park, Torquay's Dinosaur World, Paignton Zoo Environmental Park and Go Ape Haldon, all located within driving distance of the apartment. Summer afternoons can be spent on the sandy shores of Sugary Cove Beach or travelling to the seaside town of Torquay for a memorable beach day out with breath-taking views. 4 The Pottery promises to be a wonderful break for the whole family.
Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, 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 local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. 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 picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

The property particulars are accurate and the owners have given thought to storage throughout the property and to the current-day extras such as an air fryer, which added to the kitchen facilities. We had a wonderful stay and would like to go back as soon as possible.

Very well equipped both clean and comfortable. Everything you need. The airfryer was a great extra.(Maybe a nespresso machine on the breakfast bar would be good addition

There was nothing extra that was needed, it was great having the Juliet balcony which allowed the lovely fresh air into the Apartment, the bed was also very comfy. The only comment I would make for future holiday makers is the walking distance into Dartmouth. We were lead to believe that it was "just a short 12 minute walk" into the town. This may be true if one is very fit and agile, whilst we are very capable of , and enjoy a good walk, it was steep in a couple of places and took us approx 30 minutes each way. Apart from the walk we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 4 The Pottery - many thanks.
