About this property

Armada Cottage is a traditional 19th century terraced town cottage, just a short stroll away from the heart of Dartmouth, with its boutique shops, art galleries, restaurants and waterfront. The accommodation has been refurbished in recent years whilst retaining much of its original character, including exposed stone fireplaces.

The property is reached via a flight of steps from Southford Road. Enter through the front door and find yourself in an open-plan living space, with kitchen, dining and seating areas, boasting a neutral décor mixed with period features and subtle nods to the seaside location. The comfortable living space features two sofas and a woodburning stove, perfect for cosying up on cooler evenings, with a set of double doors leading to a spacious patio area furnished with a table, chairs and a garden bench, ideal for enjoying al fresco dining in the summer sun.

At the rear of the living area is a dining table seating five guests.

Upstairs you will find two well presented bedrooms; a master bedroom with a King-size bed and a twin bedroom.

On the ground floor is a shower room with a large walk-in shower, whilst on the first floor is a family bathroom.

With a number of attractions within walking distance, such as Dartmouth Castle and museums, this is a great location for a couple or family. Take a boat up the River Dart to the quirky town of Totnes or village of Dittisham, or ride the Dart Valley Steam Railway from across the estuary at Kingswear. Alternatively, visit the stunning Start Bay coastline, just a short drive away, including the Blue Flag awarded Blackpool Sands beach.

Armada Cottage makes a great base for couples and families wanting to enjoy Dartmouth and the South Hams.

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.

    We hugely appreciated the card from the owners welcoming us back and the bottle of fizz. Armada cottage is well equipped and spotlessly clean. It is well positioned in Dartmouth with easy on foot access to lots of places to eat and drink - even in the winter! It was very cold outside during our stay but the cottage was warm and cosy. The cottage is at the top of a flight of steep steps and unloading your luggage from a car is difficult because of the extremely narrow street outside so it may not be for you if you have mobility issues or very young children. For us though, it’s perfect!

    Thank you. Looking forward to our next holiday in the cottage, hope to book again soon.

    The cottage is very well equipped and clean. It is ideally situated, it only takes a 10 minutes walk to reach the centre with shops and restaurants. The parking permit is a real asset. It is important to know that the South Ford road is very steep and has a wide restriction to 6 feet for cars. A recommendation is to drive via Victoria street and enter the South Ford Road backwards for loading and unloading. We have enjoyed our stay very much.
