    “There is no doubt that the views over the Dart are the most attractive feature of the property.”

    I particularly enjoyed the gradual lighting-up of Kingswear as darkness fell. The major drawbacks are the steps and the parking. Visitors should avoid taking large suitcases, almost unmanageable on those steps. Access to the property would be extremely difficult for the disabled. Parking below the property is easy enough but it is controlled. The garage in Above Town is fine for a small vehicle but be aware that driving in the narrow street up there is not for the faint-hearted. Finally, I ...

    I particularly enjoyed the gradual lighting-up of Kingswear as darkness fell. The major drawbacks are the steps and the parking. Visitors should avoid taking large suitcases, almost unmanageable on those steps. Access to the property would be extremely difficult for the disabled. Parking below the property is easy enough but it is controlled. The garage in Above Town is fine for a small vehicle but be aware that driving in the narrow street up there is not for the faint-hearted. Finally, I should also mention that, whilst rubbish disposal is straightforward for guests at the property, there is much collection from other properties in the vicinity at an early hour in the morning!

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.

Please note there are 43 steps down from the garage in Above Town to the property. Access from Newcomen Road is up 43 steps. Steps are steep in places and uneven.

The garage is not suitable for 4x4 or large car.

Above town is a narrow road that runs 'above' and parellel to the River Dart. Access to Above Town is via a steep road.

Please note the property accepts two well behaved dogs.

Please bring a torch if arriving at night.
