Savour fresh seafood at local restaurants and experience the town’s vibrant festivals and regattas. Dartmouth promises a delightful mix of history, culture, and natural beauty. Find more local tips and trips in your Guest Guide, which is available upon booking.

Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of Devon, a car is recommended for getting the most out of your stay here. Free parking can be found in the surrounding streets, and there is also a paid car park around 7 minutes walk away.

If you are travelling by train, the nearest station is in Totnes. It's about half an hour's drive from the property and taxis are available in the town. There is also a good bus route from Totnes train station to Dartmouth Pontoon, from which it's then a 5-minute walk to the cottage.

Other Things to Note:
Please note, the cottage is on quite a steep hill and whilst it is possible to park outside to load/unload, it is a typical narrow harbour town road. The staircase is also quite quirky and spirals around. So it may not be suitable for those with mobility limitations.

Please do not park in the carport beneath the property as this space belongs to our neigbour.
