Driftwood

Driftwood is a delightful ground-floor apartment situated in Dartmouth, Devon, pairing impressive sea views with a furnished terrace and designated off-road parking for two cars. Designed with contemporary style and high-quality finishes, it offers couples or a small family an appealing setting for discovering the South Devon coast.

Begin the morning with the French windows framing the sea as breakfast comes together in the kitchen. There is ample equipment for self-catering, including an electric oven, induction hob and dishwasher, while a wine chiller brings a thoughtful extra touch for evenings spent dining at home. After dinner, move into the sitting area and choose a film on the TV or pick up a book as the day draws to a close.

Outside, the terrace turns the sea view into part of the experience. Settle around the furniture with a drink and watch the changing coastal scenery before heading indoors. The king-size bedroom includes a trundle suitable for a small child, while the bathroom offers both a bath with handheld shower and a separate walk-in shower.

When it is time to explore, Dartmouth puts some of South Devon's best-known scenery within reach. Begin locally with Dartmouth Castle, dramatically positioned beside the Dart Estuary, and spend time taking in the town's distinctive waterside surroundings. Cross the River Dart to Kingswear for a fresh perspective across the water and another scenic stop on your coastal itinerary. Venture onwards to Brixham, where its characterful harbour and maritime setting make an appealing destination for a day beside the sea. Alternatively, turn inland towards Totnes, exchanging boats and coastal views for the atmosphere of a historic market town. With Dartmouth's heritage, Kingswear's waterside setting, Brixham's harbour and Totnes offering a contrasting inland excursion, there is ample variety for days spent discovering this corner of Devon. After exploring, head back towards the coast and let the sea view become the backdrop to another evening at Driftwood.
