    “A group of us spent New Year at Woodlands and had a great time.”

    The house is lovely and the few contacts we had with the owners were friendly and positive. The house is beautifully decorated and the sense that it is still a family home and not a holiday house is a real bonus. The weather was dreadful so we didn't really make use of the outside but the gardens look nice.

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 4.30pm.
Note: The garden is steep and sloping with an unfenced stream. Children and pets should be supervised.
Note: No fireworks please.
Note: The day bed in the second floor master bedroom is by default set up as a sofa, it is made up as a bed only when the house is booked to full capacity, or by prior arrangement only.
