Things To Do

Summary:

2 Dartview provides ground-floor accommodation for one couple or three guests. Inspiring river views across the harbour and over to Kingswear, the apartment is just a couple of minutes' walk to the riverside and the town centre, as well as being en route to Dartmouth’s historic castle and the renowned South West Coast Path. Soft tones make for soothing bedrooms and crisp living spaces. You’re steps away from ancient Dartmouth and the town’s vibrant riverside. A parking permit’s also included.

Accommodation:

A few steps up to the front door of the building leads to a communal hallway. The front door of the apartment opens into the open-plan living room, with a compact kitchen area featuring an oven, microwave, ceramic hob, and a fridge. The sitting area has two sofas, TV and DVD player, and a dining area set into the window with a lovely view out over the river.

At the rear of the property, there's the master bedroom with a double bed and built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom off the hallway has a single bed.

The bathroom includes the shower and also houses the washing machine.

There's central heating throughout.

Parking:

A car park pass is provided for use of the Mayors Avenue car park, which is a 2-minute walk away. The permit does not guarantee a parking space, and it can get very busy during the summer and special events, such as the Royal Regatta week (during which the car park is closed).

Nearby:

A flight of steps opposite the property will take you down to the river at Bayards Cove, this historic cobbled quayside was where The Mayflower stopped before departing for its journey to the Americas. At the end of Bayards Cove is the historic ruins of one of Dartmouth’s sea defences and at the other end, you will find The Dartmouth Arms - perfect for enjoying a drink on the water's edge and some good pub food. On the south embankment, you will find a number of pubs and restaurants including The Seahorse and the Rockfish owned by celebrity chef Mitch Tonks, as well as the Bayards Inn and Bellini’s Bar. Heading up the hill from the apartment you will soon pick up the South West Coast Path and Dartmouth Castle.

Dartmouth is a town steeped in maritime history, from the castle at the mouth of the river that has stood for over 600 years to the cobbled quayside at Bayards Cove where the Mayflower was made ship-shape before its voyage from Plymouth to America in the 1600s, up to the imposing Britannia Royal Naval College overlooking the town, defending the nation's seas since the early 1900s.

Dartmouth's renowned variety of shops and restaurants are on your doorstep, including breakfast and brunch hotspot Café Alf Resco - a hit with locals and visitors alike. At Bayards Cove, see where final repairs were made to the Mayflower before she set sail from Plymouth and onto America. On the riverside, you're spoiled for choice for seafood dining and drinks while you watch the boats drift along the river. There are also fast, frequent ferries, leisurely boat rides, and not forgetting the steam train from Kingswear and its romantic route along the valley shoreline and onto Totnes and Torbay.

Dining Out

Vibrant cafés and delis, cosy inns, and sublime seafood - all within walking distance - including TV chef Mitch Tonks' go-to restaurants, ‘The Seahorse’ and ‘Rockfish’. Local favourites include Kendrick’s and Taylor's in the town centre, as well as hearty pub meals at The Floating Bridge and historic The Dartmouth Arms. The Sportsman’s Arms, as you head out of town, is a favourite for a Sunday carvery. The surrounding villages also have culinary gems, such as the Laughing Monk in Strete, and Radius 7 in Stoke Fleming.

Shopping

Individual and independent; quaint meets quality - browsing Dartmouth’s locally run stores is a treat. From bespoke jewellery to designer fashion, eye-catching artworks and stylish boutiques. Venture into Foss Street and lose yourself in its variety - you’re bound to come away with a memento of your stay.

Towns to explore

The eclectic market town of Totnes is 14 miles from Dartmouth. Reach it by road or river to enjoy its broad mix of shops and restaurants (especially for some tasty, inventive, vegetarian and vegan cuisine). From Totnes, the English Riviera is easily accessible (including the steam train to Paignton). Torbay offers golden beaches, exhilarating sea sports, and quaint fishing port tranquillity. Head inland to Buckfastleigh to get hands-on learning about the animals at Pennywell Farm. Cute and colourful, Buckfast Butterflies and otter sanctuary is a must-see. And there’s another picturesque steam railway.

Further afield, the picturesque resort town of Salcombe is 20 miles away - its golden beaches and clear waters make for perfect lazy days, and are superb for sailing.

Local places of interest

The striking Dartmouth Castle sits at the mouth of the river. Learn how Dartmouth's first coastal line of defence kept the port safe from enemy ships and pirates.

The grand former holiday estate of the world's greatest crime writer - Agatha Christie - is open during the summer months. Explore the resplendent gardens and the magnificent house. Reach it by ferry or steam train from Dartmouth.

Tours and tastings of the award-winning Sharpham Wines and cheeses make for a mouth-watering excursion - now newly relocated to their Sandridge Barton vineyard - but be sure to book in advance.

The Woodlands Family Theme Park, just outside Dartmouth, is Devon's largest theme park, with rides, slides, as well as indoor and outdoor play. It's a year-round family favourite.

If you're tempted to learn sailing, Marshalls Sailing School in Dittisham offers sailing and stand-up paddle boarding lessons to people of all levels in a quiet part of the river just upstream from Dartmouth.

Beaches and Walks

There are superb beaches close to hand. Blackpool Sands is a 10-minute drive from Dartmouth. This Blue Flag award-winning sand and shingle beach is great for swimming. There's also a café, shop, as well as canoe and paddleboard hire. Slapton Sands (5 miles from Dartmouth) stretches out across three miles of shoreline, helpfully laid out with three car parks and WC facilities. Behind Slapton Sands, you can also take a tranquil walk through Slapton Ley.

For a more-adventurous ramble, the Dart Valley Trail is a 10-mile circular walk up and down the Dart, with crossings at Dittisham and Dartmouth. And one of the world’s longest and most-popular trails - the South West Coast Path - can be picked up by Dartmouth Castle with a choice of wonderful walks along this great stretch of coastline.

This is a very nice apartment, conveniently situated near to shops, restaurants and Dartmouth's stunning waterfront. We started each of our three days stay eating breakfast at a table overlooking the view in the photograph. Fabulous. The flat was well equipped with two settees, a good kitchenette, TV etc. The bedroom at the back was dark but comfortable if small. The bathroom had a shower over the bath and was spotlessly clean.This was a great base for us to see Dartmouth's free music festival, taking place at various venues inside and outdoors, an amazing experience, all within walking distance." - Mary - May 2022

"This is the second time we have stayed in this flat, and the location is the main attraction for us. It is clean and comfortable with helpful details in the Welcome Pack." Rbten - August 21

"Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at flat 2, 38 Dartview. The flat was spotlessly clean when we arrived . The view from the flat window was amazing and it’s a short walk from Dartmouth front. The bed was very comfortable, although the room was a little dark. There is also a second bedroom with a single bed." - Shazza - July 2021

"A very pleasant flat in a good location. Advertised as a one bedroom flat when in fact there are two bedrooms, which means our son could have visited as well if we had known. A small problem with ants, quickly dealt with. Some issues with understanding the heating system - it was usually cold in the bedroom. " - Carole - June 2021

"Excellent apartment in a great location.A super view across the Dart from the lounge window. Very helpful directions to the venue. The whole apartment was very well appointed and had been thoroughly cleaned." David - September 2020

"This is a very nice small flat, with fantastic views across the estuary, and a great location close to the town centre. We will definitely be going back." Bob -September 2020

"This was an excellent stay, with a central location yet no street noise at night. What a view! The only thing that was negative was the walls were thin and a loud snorer kept me awake during my stay! Also perhaps fitting a google chrome cast box would mean people could watch Netflix etc From the lounge and the wifi didn’t work in the bedroom. Overall super! Xx" Najia - July 2020

“The Apartment was a quiet and comfortable place with the added bonus of a parking place in town, if available? (Which for us, it was). The apartment had a lovely view over to Kingswear” Roy – 27 October – 2 November 2019

“Lovely view, short walk to town.” Chris 19-24 September 2019

“This was a nice ground floor apartment for two with good facilities and beautiful views from the dining table across the Dart estuary. A free car parking pass was provided for parking on the public car park in the centre of Dartmouth. We just left the car there most of the week and used ferries, steam train and bus for seeing the area.” Julia 6-13 September 2019

“Great location, superb views” Tim 27 August – 1 September 2019

“This is a compact apartment for 2 people. Accommodation is comfortable with adequate facilities for two. The outstanding feature is the fabulous view from the front window.”Hilary 12-17 August 2019

“Great view. A nice apartment in a perfect location very close to everything in Dartmouth and a great view of the harbour.” Darren – 3-10 August 2019

“2 Dartview is in a great location. It’s very near the centre of town, but away from all the noise and bustle. The views across the river are wonderful. The kitchen appliances were all easy to use which made cooking trouble free. Throughout, all the furniture was comfortable (sofas, bed). The apartment was clean.” Jennifer – 6-13 July 2019

“Clean comfortable and great views of the river Dart. Lovely stay.Great views. A very enjoyable stay with lots of things to do – no need for a car at all.” Deborah and Nigel – 16 June 2019

“This has been a wonderful base for our week in Devon. We loved the breakfast views down onto the river. Hope to return to this cosy apartment in the future” Neil and Brenda – 18-25 May 2019

“Had a fantastic week in Dartmouth. 2 Dartview is a brilliant location with stunning views across the estuary. Everything is well thought out with shops, bars and restaurants on our doorstep – no need to use the car. We used the ferries and steam train. All very enjoyable and hope to return! Thank you” Alan and Pat – 27 April – 4 May 2019

“Gorgeous short stay at Dartview number two. Perfect little place to stay for a romantic getaway. Amazing view and such a joy to sit at the table eating breakfast as the morning sun fills up the room. Great base for exploring all that the beautiful town of Dartmouth has to offer. Super cosy bed – we struggled to leave it this morning! We will be back. Thank you.” H&P – 25-27 April 2019

“Practically perfect in every way.!! I holiday with my 8 year old Border Terrier, Mr Beaker (whom due to a long term illness is in a doggy buggy. The property big enough to accommodate it.) so the property was perfect for us two….Level access throughout and only three steps up to main building makes the property perfect for all ages. Having access to Bayards Cove opposite was simply perfect too, we could be at the ferry within 2 minutes, (we had travelled by train so no car) taking us over to Kingswear to catch local buses to Brixham or Torquay (both services bang on time and accepting dogs in pushchairs). One tip, do take your binoculars as the view from lounge window again ‘simply perfect’, and an ever changing live picture. I sat for hours at this window reading and watching life on the ocean wave. I cannot thank the owner of this property enough for allowing dogs, Beaker is my absolute world and to be able to holiday with him in such a central level ground property was the icing on the cake. Also being a female alone on holiday this property and its location made me feel safe at all times. Dartmouth is exceptionally dog friendly, in fact I have never found anywhere else that can match it, so I do holiday in Dartmouth often…Give it a go, whether alone, with a loved one or like me with a four legged soul mate, you really won’t regret it and if you decide to stay at 2 Dartview, Newcomen Road I can assure you, you will have picked a little Gem. Simples!!!” Jackie and Mr Beaker – 29 March – 8 April 2019

“Had a very enjoyable week staying again at No 2 Dartview. The property suits our needs and is a comfortable property to come back to chill out in after a days walking. No doubt we will be back soon. Dart Valley Cottages are very helpful and easy to book with. Very good all round (Well it is lovely Devon)” Elaine – 16-23 March 2019

“Apartment had all we needed – even managed Xmas day lunch! Warm, clean and ideal for walking into town and the bonus of a wonderful view. Loved the extras – xmas tree and mince pies. Much appreciated. Perfect location for visiting Dartmouth any time of year. Visited for Xmas week and accommodation was warm and welcoming with great views over the river Dart. Within walking distance of town and castle. Parking outside is on a first come basis but a small price to pay for location. Would highly recommend.” Elaine and Marc- 22-27 December 2018

“Great location almost in the centre of town, 1 minute from the car park (for which we had a pass), but nonetheless nice and quiet. The river front is 2-3 minutes away, and a well-stocked M+S Food store is just round the corner. Unloading was a bit interesting (parking blocks the entire street!) but hey! You only do that once and it’s a generally pretty quiet street. The apartment is nicely decorated and comfortable (good beds), with bits of quirky humour all around the place; the kitchen is well equipped in comparison with most lets, and the shower is decent. We were welcomed with a naughty-but-nice cake and a bottle of Prosecco – a lovely welcoming touch – as well as some milk in the fridge. It’s been one of the nicer lettings we’ve experienced, and would recommend it.” David – September 2018

“What a lovely week we just spent here at Dartview No 2! The location is superb, we enjoyed the proximity to the city centre and the kids just loved being only a staircase away from their favourite crabbing spot. It was our first time in Dartmouth and we simply loved it. Hope to be back soon” – Myriam, Boriz, Max and Lily – 29 July 2018

“This was our first visit to Dartmouth and we hope it won’t be our last! We’ve had a fab week and enjoyed the most glorious sunshine which has shown off Dartmouth and the river Dart to its sparkling best! We love the location of the apartment with its wonderful views and proximity to all the lovely eateries and pubs in town. All in all a wonderful stay! Thank you so much!” Shona and David – 28 June 2018

“We loved staying at No 2 Dartview – so easy to get around, even popping back when we’d forgotten something. Everything was so well thought out in the flat and we don’t think there was anything we’d like to be different. We would love to return one day. I am sure we will – love Dartmouth so much. Many thanks” John and Angie – 11 June 2018
