At the mouth of the winding River Dart lies the hidden gem of Dartmouth. Holiday cottages in Dartmouth offer inspiring views of the bustling river, its marinas and the neighbouring community of Kingswear, a short ferry trip across the river.

Dartmouth is incredibly tempting for all those who love to stay in beautiful places. The South Devon coast has many fantastic beaches, with clear waters and gentle waves inviting swimmers and paddlers alike. Choose between alluring coves such as Blackpool Sands or the extensive wide beaches at nearby Slapton Sands, where D-Day was rehearsed.

The area’s natural beauty isn’t the only attraction of Dartmouth. There’s so much to see. There’s a stunning castle at the mouth of the Dart with beautiful views of the estuary and the grand houses (and holiday cottages, of course) climbing its steep sides. Wander around the vibrant town centre with a wealth of independent shops visiting the Dartmouth Museum to experience a wealth of heritage and culture.

Enjoy boat trips upriver to Dittisham on a graceful Edwardian paddle steamer or a converted World War II Motor Torpedo boat (the torpedoes have been removed). From Kingswear, travel by historic Great Western steam trains along the river, perhaps alighting to visit Greenway, Agatha Christie’s old house with its spectacular gardens and estuary views.

There are also an incredible array of town walks and hikes to be explored, with art galleries, chandlers, bookshops, boutiques, pubs and café stops along the way. Reward yourself at the end of the day with a delicious meal from any of Dartmouth’s critically acclaimed restaurants and bistros.
