About this property
Proudly situated in an elevated position, this property (sleeping 9) boasts spectacular views over the River Dart
This well-presented, spacious detached four-bedroom holiday home sleeps nine and is perfect for a get-together with family or friends. Sitting in an enviable elevated position overlooking historical Dartmouth with fabulous views over the River Dart and to the Britannia Royal Naval College, this waterside retreat will give you and your whole pack the chance to explore beautiful South Devon in style.
This house has undergone extensive refurbishment and offers very comfortable accommodation, a great base for getting out and about and exploring Dartmouth and surrounding towns and beaches. With spectacular views from nearly every room, you’ll know doubt want to explore every nook and cranny of this wonderful property. On the ground floor, you'll find the well-equipped kitchen where you’ll spend time getting to know the double oven very well as you create masterful celebratory meals. There’s even an island with a couple of stools so someone can keep the chef company. The living room/diner is a wonderful spot to relax by the wood burner on either the sofas or the bean bag, and when you’re ready to eat together, gather around the table and gaze out of the dual-aspect windows at the amazing panoramic views of Dartmouth. There is a bedroom on this floor and is a great family option as it’s a bunkbed with double bed below with a single bunk above. The family shower room can be found on this floor also. The first floor houses three bedrooms- two en-suite king-size rooms and a twin. All the rooms are spacious and offer storage for your belongings. The outside area is where you spend a lot of time in balmy weather. The terrace offers incredible vistas of the harbour and there’s a table to enjoy drinks at, an awning as well as a small tripod BBQ to rustle up some supper on.
Dartmouth has something for everyone. The quay is popular for crabbing and passenger and car ferries crisscross the river to Kingswear for easy access to Torbay (11 miles) and Paignton Zoological Conservation Park (8 miles). Visit Greenway (6 miles), the former holiday home of the crime writer, Agatha Christie, now owned by the National Trust. Stroll out to Dartmouth Castle (3.5 miles), at the mouth of the River Dart or explore the narrow streets lined with stylish shops, cafes and restaurants.

Great property, very well equipped - even with telescope and binoculars! Views are outstanding from the balcony, especially living room and the super large master bedroom! Just be prepared for quite a climb on foot if you choose to walk from riverside to the property, or you can pay to park in the marina car park. We walked it quite a few times and my 82 year old father managed it each time! Highly recommend a stay at Dartwood House.

'- Bottom bedroom v musty/damp smelling - Main bedroom far right window not working properly - 2nd bedroom overhead light not working and main bathroom light not working - Shower door in 2nd bedroom leaks - Airer leg broken a washing line outside would be very helpful - Dishwasher falls forward when opening it - TV incredibly frustrating as signal keeps dropping out - they have also started excavating/digging the plot next door which may affect future guests

The properties facilities and cleanliness was not to the expected standard. The pictures certainly made it look a lot better than reality. Generally the property is quite ‘tired’, for example the patio furniture was in very bad order. The living room rug was grubby.
