Why Dartmouth Holiday Cottages? 

Known for being one of the most popular towns on the county’s southern coastline, Dartmouth is a town that’s rich in historical significance and has a long association with sailing, being home to hundreds of boats moored in the town’s harbour and across the water at Kingswear. 

Guarded by two medieval castles at the river’s entrance, here you’ll also find a network of wonderfully secluded beaches, ancient coves and great vantage points where you can take in the unforgettable views of the sea... all within a short distance from these Dartmouth cottages! 

In the town itself, Dartmouth is packed full of historic streets that wind down the hill towards the river, lined with charming old-world pubs and some of the best seafood restaurants found anywhere in the county. Not only that but here you’ll also find the Dartmouth Museum, a fantastic exhibit dedicated to the town’s history housed inside a 17th-century merchant’s house. 

Places to visit from your Dartmouth Accommodation 

When it comes to getting out and about to explore the area surrounding these Dartmouth holiday cottages, you and your guests will have no trouble packing your itinerary full of unique and exciting ideas! 

Being a town that’s situated right on the water, a visit to Dartmouth can’t be without a delightful ferry trip. With regular boats running from the harbour, you can hop on one of these ferries and head up the River Dart to the village of Dittisham. 

Touted as a classic English village, here you can stop off at the Ferry Boat Inn before hopping across the water to Greenway, a beautiful National Trust property that was once the home of legendary local author Agatha Christie. 

If you’re happy to venture a little further out, then taking a 40-minute drive south to the town of Salcombe is a wonderful idea for a day trip. Located at the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, here you’ll find seven fantastic beaches nestled between the coves, as well as plenty of pubs, restaurants and independent shops to explore in the town itself.
