Three Views is a stylish and spacious one bedroom apartment situated on the edge of Dartmouth’s bustling town centre and within just a two minute walk to the popular riverside embankment. Boasting many desirable features, the property offers its guests the opportunity to relax in comfort whilst appreciating excellent views of the surrounding area; taking in the Royal Naval College and Jawbones Hill with views of the river and Kingswear from the higher to lower ferry. In warmer months enjoy lounging in the private garden, alfresco dining on the patio or sundowners on the terrace; in cooler months relax in the cosy ‘snug style’ sitting room or spread out in the tastefully presented open plan dining and living area. On the doorstep of town’s thriving centre, the property is just a short stroll to a host of excellent eateries, pubs and bars, however should a break from Dartmouth’s many culinary delights be preferred then guests can cook in comfort in the property’s contemporary open plan kitchen or alfresco style on the barbeque and outside table's central fire pit. The whole property has been thoughtfully furnished, including many stylish touches and also comes with the benefit of its own private off-street parking space.
There is a private lawned garden and paved patio area featuring seating for 6 and a table with central fire pit. The garden is surrounded by solid stone walling or trellis fencing. The property also has a small decked terrace area (with table and seating for 2) up the steps from the garden and before the front door. This can be accessed via French doors from the bedroom.
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.
The property has private off-street parking for one vehicle. The designated parking area is entered straight from Ridge Hill through a large opening in a high stone wall, and shared with the property next door. Three View’s space is on the right-hand side.
The property is located down a short paved path with entrance through a light blue wooden swing gate, signed 13a.
