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.

However once you are there it is so worth it ! Beautifully equipped apartment - I could not fault the kitchen Really delightful 'feel' to the place and a short walk into town Tiny niggles only - needed more black sacks for rubbish - as all waste must be put in black sacks Would've liked a sensor operated light on the outside of the building for return to the apartment in the dark and the rain. Quite dodgy in total blackness

We spent many happy hours sitting in the bay window watching the boats going up and down the river, and the ferries crossing back and forth to Kingswear. The property was very comfortable and warm, well equipped kitchen and bathrooms. We didn't know Dartmouth, so were surprised to find the apartment was closer to the town centre than we expected - a very easy walk. Don't be put off by the description of how many steps you need to climb to reach it, as long as you're careful it's well worth the effort. We would definitely stay there again.
