Dartmouth, South Devon, is located in the South Hams, a very scenic and touristy part of the county. Dartmouth is one of Devon's most visited cities because of its proximity to the beautiful Start Bay coastline and its location within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are numerous well-attended events held there, including the annual Dart Music Festival, the Dartmouth Food Festival, and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, in addition to the beautiful waterfront and historic, winding alleyways dotted with boutique shops, restaurants, and art galleries. A quick boat trip will take you to Dartmouth Castle, the Britannia Royal Naval College, and the National Trust's Greenway House. The South West Coast Way, the Dart Valley Trail, and many peaceful rural lanes make the area around Dartmouth ideal for bicycling and walking. Take the Dartmouth Steam Train through the picturesque countryside to Paignton, or take a boat or ferry across to Kingswear, on to Brixham, or down the river to the quaint village of Dittisham. Popular sandy beaches close to Dartmouth include Blackpool Sands and Slapton Sands in the South Hams.

    This time we went with our son and daughter in law. Both times we have enjoyed the property it provides everything we needed and the location is great. We will possibly stay again if available when we need it. We did find a couple of small maintenance issues which we have reported to the local office.

    Could not turn off cooker hood found isolating switch shut it up.very good location ,parking a nightmare,managed to get a parking ticket did not realise wardens worked Sundays. Enjoyed the stay.

  • Pamela

    door handle broken. Fridge needs to be looked at unable to close, due to position too close to cutlery drawer. Dirty molded shower curtain, and sealant around bath needs to be re-sealed. With a good clean and maintenance, the cottage could be a more welcoming place to stay. comfy beds and ideal position in the town. Very disappointed, I have always used Sykes Cottages without any complaint,until now.
