Ivy Cottage

Ivy Cottage rests in the heart of Dartmouth, offering a delightful retreat for couples eager to experience one of South Devon’s most characterful waterside towns.

Nestled among winding streets and historic buildings, this traditional home is perfectly placed for days spent exploring, dining well and soaking up life beside the River Dart.

Inside, the cottage feels thoughtfully arranged and inviting.

The kitchen and dining area is equipped for easy, unhurried meals, whether you’re preparing breakfast before heading out or cooking something special after a day on the water.

Up some steep stairs, a welcoming sitting room provides a calm space to relax, complete with a woodburning stove that adds a touch of warmth after time outdoors.

The double bedroom offers a peaceful spot to rest, this is complemented by a ground-floor smartly finished shower room for convenience.

Step outside to a small enclosed patio, ideal for a quiet morning coffee or an evening glass of wine as the town settles down.

Ivy Cottage is particularly suited to those who prefer to leave the car behind and might not suit people with limited mobility due to the steep staircase.

Dartmouth’s independent shops, galleries and cafés are all within easy reach.

The harbour is a short stroll away, where ferries cross to Kingswear and boat trips offer a fresh perspective on the coastline.

Dartmouth itself brims with charm, from medieval streets and riverside walks to its vibrant food scene, often showcasing fresh seafood.

Nearby beaches invite lazy afternoons, while longer excursions lead to Totnes with its creative atmosphere or coastal paths revealing hidden coves and sweeping views.

Ivy Cottage is a relaxed and well-located base for couples looking to slow the pace and enjoy Dartmouth’s timeless appeal.
