Cormorant is a well-presented and contemporary three-storey cottage situated in the picturesque South Hams countryside, near to the popular historic town of Dartmouth. Set in the grounds of Dartmouth Golf and Country Club, guests are spoilt by a host of on-site activities, including a swimming pool, tennis court, spa and two golf courses (additional charges apply for spa and golf). Set in 225 acres of rolling South Hams countryside, the 18 hole Championship Course makes clever use of undulating terrain and water features. The 9 hole, par 33 Dartmouth Course is built to the same exacting standards as its bigger sister and provides a challenge for golfers of all abilities.
The cottage is stylishly presented and tastefully furnished throughout. Guests can fully relax in comfort and enjoy the bright, open plan reception room with fully integrated kitchen. In warmer months, throw open the double doors to the spacious front patio with views towards the local countryside or relax in the back garden whilst cooking on the bbq and eating alfresco. If there is a chill in the air, appreciate home cooking in the fully-fitted kitchen, fire up the log burner and get cosy on the sofas with a movie on the Smart TV. If a meal out is more desirable, guests needn’t go far as there is a restaurant at the nearby hotel and clubhouse or many good local pubs and restaurants just a short drive away.
Designed with the guest in mind, all bedrooms are a good size and feature contemporary ensuite bath or shower rooms, wall-mounted TVs, hairdryers, built-in wardrobes and two of the bedrooms have doors leading to private balconies. All of this, along with the grounds, facilities and general space on offer make Cormorant the perfect choice for a group of golfers, a family or indeed a couple to escape to.
There is a tiled patio area at the front of the property with table and chairs and access to the communal lawn. Lawned garden to the rear with tiled patio and bbq area with bench seating. Good sized balconies from bedroom 1 and 3 with table and chairs for 2 on both.
Steeped in maritime history, Dartmouth lies at the mouth of the majestic River Dart. This bustling waterfront town is overlooked by the famous and somewhat imposing Britannia Royal Naval College, just one hint at the town’s historic and strategic importance. Look around and you’ll notice old fortifications on both sides of the river. Bayards Cove Fort, dating from Tudor times is easy to access just a short stroll from the shops, or you can take the passenger ferry up to Dartmouth Castle, which has guarded the narrow entrance to the port for over 600 years, and then walk along the stunning South West Coast Path towards Stoke Fleming and Strete.
Central to Dartmouth is the “boat float”. From here, take time to explore the picturesque network of streets and alleys with their abundance of independent shops, cafés and restaurants. For art lovers, there are numerous galleries and you may even spot the famous artist, Simon Drew, at work. For a hearty brunch, see if you can squeeze onto a shared table in the bustling Café Alf Resco or for a more continental feel, sample the delights of Saveurs French bakery.
Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a total novice, a simple must for every visitor is to take to the water. Sailing, kayaking or hopping on a passenger ferry to nearby Totnes, Dittisham or Greenway (once a home of Agatha Christie) will allow you to enjoy this truly idyllic stretch of river. Keep an eye out for wildlife on the way as you may be lucky enough to be accompanied by a friendly seal!
If you’re looking for a day out on the beach, drive along the truly breathtaking coast road to nearby Blackpool Sands (no dogs in high season) and on to Torcross at Slapton Sands, a three and a half mile stretch of beach with a neighbouring freshwater nature reserve, Slapton Ley, which is a haven for bird watchers.
From Dartmouth, you can cross the water to neighbouring Kingswear to walk the Dart Valley Trail towards Greenway, catch the steam railway or take the higher car ferry across for a family day out at Paignton Zoo or Torquay's Living Coasts.
Dartmouth itself literally heaves at the seams during Dartmouth Regatta in late August, but there is also plenty to keep you entertained throughout the rest of the year. And if you prefer simple pleasures, the embankment provides the perfect spot for crabbing. All you need is a bucket, line, net and some bait and it won’t be long before you hear squeals of delight from the whole family!
Picturesque Dartmouth is the ideal holiday cottage location for couples or families looking to enjoy all this lovely coastal town has to offer as soon as they walk out their front door.
