With stunning views over the River Dart, this five-bedroom cottage provides the perfect escape to relax in the serenity of Dartmouth, boasting its own slipway, available in the summer months, with unrivalled access to the water for a kayaking trip or a family adventure. Situated on the mouth of the River Dart, the vibrant harbour town of Dartmouth boasts a rich maritime heritage, offering historic houses and gardens to galleries and museums for you to explore. Renowned as a sailing port, explore the coastline from a watery angle aboard a fishing trip to grab the catch of the day or hire a boat from the harbour less than half a mile away for an epic family adventure.
