Relax on board a boat trip up to Dartmouth, taking in the spectacular rural views and an array of wildlife en route.

Across the river from Kingswear is the historic naval town of Dartmouth. Easily accessible by regular foot or car ferry and is a great reason to stroll through the narrow lanes and discover the array of galleries showcasing local art. The Britannia Naval College can also be visited on certain days along with the remains of Dartmouth Castle, at the mouth of the River Dart.

We love Woodbine House, having visited on numerous occasions.Unfortunately we found it tired & in need of some TLC.The disappointments included, double glazing blown & in need of replacement.Various lights, including stair lights not working. Washing machine not working. Windows dirty, & covered with children’s finger marks. Broken blind. Balustrade glass dirty with green mould. Balcony in serious need of cleaning, (slippery when wet)Wardrobe doors loose. No oven gloves, ironing board cover needs replacing. Shower tray needs mould removing.Outside patio area was dirty & the patio set was dirty with green mould. Last, & by no means least, only 3 teaspoons.O Yes, the welcome book with the property details was woefully out of date, with the wrong internet password.Woodbine house used to be a platinum property. We can see why it no longer is so. Such a shame.

Superb in almost every respect. We were surprised not to find oven gloves or hair dryer but maybe we didn't look in the right places!
