“We had a really lovely stay at beautiful Woodlands.”

It is a stunning house with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We wish we could have stayed longer. Dartmouth is a fabulous base with plenty of nearby places to explore. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back!

Excellent location - definitely walkable into town (we managed with a 3 year old but the house is up a hill so may not be suitable for everyone)

“Beautiful period property with wonderful river views.”

Tastefully furnished with a period nautical theme and old family photographs which were very interesting and gave a homely touch. Fantastically well equipped kitchen and beautifully appointed bedrooms and gorgeous bathrooms. All the furniture was comfortable and the cleanliness was exceptional. Our grandchildren loved the games of hide and seek. All in all a great family house, we all loved it, thank you.

“Mrs”

A truly fabulous and luxurious house, set in a stunning location just a 10 minute walk into Dartmouth. Amazing views and the house caters for everything you need for a holiday. We were a party of 12, but the house is large enough to not feel cramped, lovely high ceilings and wide doors, all the features of a Georgian house so very homely but cool in the hot weather. We were fortunate enough to have fantastic weather so used the outside terrace every day. If we didn’t want to do the walk into town, there are several nice coves around the castle for both swimming and crabbing. Parking will easily take 6 cars with is a bonus given the parking in general is an issue in Dartmouth. Really comfortable and luxurious beds are a must on holiday and this property didn’t let us down, in fact I cannot think of anything negative about our stay here and would highly recommend. A fantastic week for our 3 families from Suffolk, Essex and New Zealand to spend quality time together in the most beautiful part of Devon.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

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.

Note: The owners live in the small cottage attached to the side of house.
Note: Arrival after 6pm.
Note: The garden is steep and sloping with an unfenced stream. Children and pets should be supervised.
Note: No fireworks please.
Note: The lower part of the garden (by the stream) has needed to be fenced off and will be temporarily unavailable until further notice in order for essential maintenance to be undertaken. The remainder of the large garden, including both terraces remains available for you to enjoy.
