Description

This unique three-story building, Dancing Beggars, is located in the well-loved historic naval town of Dartmouth.

Dancing Beggars gives the ideal base from which to explore all that Devon has to offer.

It welcomes four guests to experience the ultimate escape and features a maritime design with historical décor scattered throughout.

Discover a well-equipped kitchen with a wide variety of appliances that will make your stay easier.

While the designated chef of the group whips up a delicious meal to be enjoyed at the homely breakfast bar, kick off your shoes, relax on the plush sofas, and take in the warmth of an open fire on the Smart TV.

Step outdoors to the side courtyard on warm evenings to spend your evenings alfresco while raising a glass to a fun-filled getaway while sipping a chilled beverage of your choice.

Return inside as it gets dark to wash the day away in a chic bathroom, enjoy a long soak or energising shower, finish your essential skincare routine, and then retire to one of the two impeccably furnished double bedrooms, each of which has a Smart TV for a tranquil place to unwind.

You're in for a treat when it comes to touring; start the day with a trip to the Dartmouth Museum to learn more about the area's history before enjoying a picnic in the Royal Avenue Gardens.

Take a stroll along the embankment taking in the dramatic views of the River Dart and Dartmouth Harbour before visiting the majestic Dartmouth Castle and Sugary Cove Beach—a serene location to lose yourself in a book or paddle in the waters and explore Bayard's Cove Fort or Warfleet Creek.

Take advantage of the many walking, biking, and hiking trails that wind through the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or travel to Torquay to visit the Tessier Gardens, Babbacombe Model Village, and Babbacombe Beach.

You can easily access the vibrant city of Exeter from here, which is home to an astounding number of bars, eateries, and cafes in addition to the magnificent Exeter Cathedral.

Do it from the excellent base of Dancing Beggars however you wish to spend your days in Devon.

We had a lovely stay at Dancing Beggars.

The property is extremely well presented and clean. Quality bedding and towels. Easy, fairly level less than 5min walk to Dartmouth shops, cafés restaurants and harbour. The bedrooms are on 1st and 2nd floor accessed by narrow spiral staircases with handrail, aesthetically pleasing, but would be difficult to manage by people with mobility issues. Super modern bathroom on 1st floor. Kitchen is well equipped although there isn't a freezer compartment in the fridge which would've been useful. The only real downside to this property was the noise from deliveries and trollies rattling across the M&S car park, which the property backs onto, between 5.30am and 7am every day. There is free nearby on street car parking overnight from 6pm to 9am but spaces are limited, and then 2hrs max with 2hrs no return from 9am to 6pm. Otherwise there is an adjacent paying car park.

Great location and a good place for a small family (2 adults, 1 kid).

All in all, we had a lovely week and enjoyed Dartmouth as our home base. We booked this property last-minute and got a pretty good deal, but I would be hesitant to pay full-price. Based on other Sykes Cottages we have stayed at, this one is acceptable at £800-900 but seems over-priced for what it is at the full summer list price of nearly £1400 for the week. One big thing to be aware of with this property though... As the listing mentions, the property overlooks the M&S carpark. What the listing fails to mention is that M&S takes their deliveries at 7am every morning! Assuming one sleeps with the windows open as we did in the summer, it is impossible to sleep while the extremely loud deliveries are taking place for over an hour. Also be aware that the property comes with only a cleaning starter pack (which seems to be typical these days for properties owned by a company instead of individuals) that will not last you the entire week.

The property is ideally situated in the centre of Dartmouth.

It was well equipped with spacious bedrooms and comfy beds. There were lots of great places to eat close by and so much to see and do. A great base - thank you. We had a lovely week.
