With its sumptuous interiors and privileged position in the heart of Dartmouth, this home is a great base for exploring one of South Devon’s most enchanting towns and its surrounding countryside. Inside, a cosy seating area unfolds into a modern kitchen – we loved the glass ceiling and creamy neutral colour scheme. Head upstairs for quiet bedrooms which guarantee a peaceful night's sleep.

On warm afternoons, spill out onto the terrace for barbecues in the balmy sunshine. Or why not pack a picnic and enjoy a bite to eat in Coronation Park, a five-minute walk away. If you’d like to learn more about the local history, visit the Dartmouth Museum before exploring Bayard’s Cove Fort. 

And of course, no trip to southwest England would be complete without a day at the beach, so slap on your sun cream and make haste to the Blue Flag Award-winning Blackpool Sands, just a ten-minute drive from your doorstep.

Garden

Fancy staying in a historic home with an open fireplace, arched windows, and sloped ceilings? Look no further than this pet-friendly cottage, ideal for families of four. The hillside location means there are outdoor steps to climb, but the scenic setting and landscape views are worthwhile. We love the Italianate garden, though an unfenced pond calls for eagle-eyed parenting. You'll be just one mile from the centre of Dartmouth, yet we recommend hiring a car to explore Devon's striking coast.

Nice to haves

Located in the village of Kingswear – just across the River Dart from Dartmouth – this beautiful reverse level home offers breathtaking views of the river and Dartmouth from every angle. 
Laid out over two floors, there’s plenty of space for relaxed socialising as well as room to enjoy quiet moments alone while feasting on splendid natural vistas. 
Upstairs, the living room invites you to kick back on its sofa or armchairs with a glass of wine while enjoying the fresh breeze coming off of Waterhead Creek through the open glass doors. In the evenings, there’s an electric fireplace here too for added ambience, while the dining room invites celebratory feasts aplenty while gazing out over the ships sailing in and out of Dartmouth Harbour. 
For the best views of all, however, step out onto the private terrace where an outdoor table beckons sunny alfresco breakfasts and evening drinks on the sofa as the sun sets over the river.
There’s access to this privileged spot from the second bedroom too, while the main bedroom boasts a beautiful Juliet balcony. 
Outside of your home, the Dartmouth Steam Railway is a seven-minute walk away, Man Sands beach is a thirteen-minute drive and Dartmouth is easily reached by ferry, a nine-minute stroll from your door.

We love the flairs of modernity and fun at this Victorian townhouse, placed just a ten-minute stroll from Dartmouth's harbour edge.

Spread out over three floors and glowing from top-to-toe in crisp white, this family retreat is a joy to return home to. Vintage memorabilia posters and zesty pops of colour perk the space up a treat, while period features and antique pieces bring all the character and charm.

Over in the first of two living rooms, butter-soft sofas placed beside the fire are more than inviting. As is the Gatsby-esque 1920's mini bar in the grown-up feel sitting room next door – playfully known as the Cocktail Room by the owners. And the shaker-style kitchen makes cooking and entertaining a joy – especially with it's handy opening out to the sitting room so that you can keep an eye on the rest of your troops.

When it's time for some coastal adventures, take a stroll down the hill towards Dartmouth's historic maritime centre (five-minute walk – a little longer when you're coming back up!), stopping at its smart shops, galleries, and boutique bistros along the way. Or for a dose of traditional seaside nostalgia, grab your nets and buckets for crabbing on the embankment before fish and chips down at the harbour's quayside – the views of the bobbing boats are delightful. And when the beach finally calls, hop in the car and you'll be on the glorious sheltered bay of Blackpool Sands in five minutes flat.

Heroes Welcome

Tucked away in a prime position just a stone’s throw away from Dartmouth’s waterfront, this contemporary home is ideal for a coastal break. We love the upside-down nature, and the open-plan first-floor living area is a sight to behold, with its high ceilings and beautiful beams. And while this home’s charming style may make you reluctant to leave home, Dartmouth has so much to offer. Pay a visit to the castle, or head a little further to Sugary Cove beach – there’s something for all tastes here.

This modern apartment is part of a local landmark – an old industrial building that's been used as everything from a pottery to a brewery. Now split into a handful of stylish apartments, it's a striking building close to the river and just a short way from the centre of Dartmouth.

Character features mix with clean, contemporary styling here, with exposed stone walls and wooden beams sitting alongside black-framed windows and marble bathrooms. There's a comfortable open-plan layout to the living space with a sleek galley kitchen just off it and cosy leather sofas to curl up on, along with two big bedrooms – each with its own bathroom. And the fact that one bedroom is set on a lower floor makes it plenty private enough for friends sharing.

Just a couple of minutes from the town by car, or a stroll on foot, this home is also close to Gallants Bower and Dartmouth Castle.

Outdoor Seating

Make memories with your loved ones at this charming coastal home in the heart of Dartmouth. With a nautical theme and comfortable bedrooms, this house invites you to unwind – though be prepared to climb some stairs here. A seafood dinner would go down well in the kitchen-diner, while a bottle of Pinot Noir would be a welcome accompaniment to movie night by the wood-burning stove. Conveniently located within walking distance of the ancient Market Square, the local fish and chip shops, and the River Dart, this home is perfect for hiking the local trails and exploring the beaches of South Devon.

Rooftop Terrace

Elevated high above the River Dart, this house is as beautiful as the view from its windows. Set across three floors, the open plan ground floor features a cosy living room, leading to an ornate fireplace and a dining table next to large panelled windows, so you can admire the picturesque view over breakfast. The front door leads out onto a sun-soaked deck, complete with a wooden table and a barbecue – the perfect place for long alfresco lunches and sunset drinks with panoramic vistas of the river. Each bedroom is cosy and characterful, with nautical artwork and light wooden furniture. 

There are plenty of activities for all ages on your doorstep. For a Devonshire classic, head to the banks of the river for a spot of crabbing, and then grab fish and chips from the award-winning local chippy a nine-minute walk from the house. When the sun shines, Devon’s beaches could be Mediterranean. The wide expanses of Blackpool Sands can be reached in ten minutes by car, where you can enjoy a day of splashing in the sea and building sandcastles. There are many boat and ferry trips up the River Dart – your hosts are happy to recommend you some excellent day trips as well as tips on the best walks and other excursions. Dartmouth is a twelve-minute walk away, where you’ll find top seafood restaurants and laid-back country pubs. 

Riverside Breeze

Desk / Workplace

Who could fail to fall in love with this unique home close to the centre of Dartmouth? Everything about it is charming and quirky, with its narrow 17th Century frontage having earned it the nickname 'the skinny house' locally. Set on one of Dartmouth's hillside roads, it also happens to have uninterrupted views over the town, the river and all the way to the sea.

With three main floors, guests enter through an ancient door surrounded by exquisite carvings dating back to 1629, when the town was known for its shipbuilding. Originally the entrance and annexe to Mount Galpine House, owned by the notable Holdsworth family, it's recently been modernised and converted into a delightful home away from home. Packed with character, there's also a contemporary feel, with a glossy galley kitchen and comfy modern furniture – there's not a hint of chintz in sight.

As you would expect, the rooms are narrow, so a living room on the first floor is home to a long, squashy sofa and all eyes are drawn to the window with its stunning view. But there are a few surprises in store too – like the tiny kitchen courtyard, designed to give light and ventilation, and the mezzanine bathroom tucked into the rafters of the vaulted master bedroom. 

But nothing can prepare you for this home's biggest surprise. Newly opened to guests, its beautiful 'secret garden' is located down steep steps on the other side of the narrow road. Built into walls once used as a Second World War gun placement and artillery store, it looks out over the town to defend the river. Along with plenty of natural planting and a courtyard that feels almost magical, there's a wonderful slate-roofed conservatory built against the living wall of rock and moss. Tended by a gardener, it's a hidden gem of outdoor space, with a barbecue for summer evenings.


The Straight and Narrow

Peering out over the River Dart, this sleek home is just a ten-minute stroll from the historical maritime town of Dartmouth. It sits on the top floor of a house with its own private access and is perfect for entertaining. The modern chef's kitchen means you can prep meals while socialising with your group and there's a large barbecue deck for grilled suppers in the garden. But the real standout here is the charming balcony that provides stunning views over the harbour – we can think of no better way to relax than to sit out there with a G&T in hand, drinking in your surroundings. 

Tidal View

We were sold on the views of the River Dart alone, and that was before we'd even clapped eyes on the inside of this architectural stunner. Each light-filled bedroom is perfectly appointed to take in those showstopping panoramas, and you'll love the free-flowing living space, with bi-folds leading out onto a south-facing garden. Location-wise, you're just a ten-minute stroll from Dartmouth's harbour edge, with smart boutiques, galleries, and bistros along the way.

Glass Haven

Tucked behind Market Square, this pet-friendly home puts Dartmouth's loveliest shops and bars just a stone's throw away. You'll have to be able to climb a steep staircase to reach the entrance, then cross over the stylish front deck for outdoor hangouts. Once you're settled in, the whole family will love snuggling up in a firelit living space. While you'll receive a handy parking permit, those seeking guaranteed spots and easy drives should consider the town's summertime busyness and annual regatta.
