Rose Cottage DVC

We were sold on the views of the River Dart alone, and that was before we'd even clapped eyes on the inside of this architectural stunner. Each light-filled bedroom is perfectly appointed to take in those showstopping panoramas, and you'll love the free-flowing living space, with bi-folds leading out onto a south-facing garden. Location-wise, you're just a ten-minute stroll from Dartmouth's harbour edge, with smart boutiques, galleries, and bistros along the way.

Glass Haven

Tucked behind Market Square, this pet-friendly home puts Dartmouth's loveliest shops and bars just a stone's throw away. You'll have to be able to climb a steep staircase to reach the entrance, then cross over the stylish front deck for outdoor hangouts. Once you're settled in, the whole family will love snuggling up in a firelit living space. While you'll receive a handy parking permit, those seeking guaranteed spots and easy drives should consider the town's summertime busyness and annual regatta.

Charming Moorings

Set less than a ten-minute walk from the pubs, cafes and restaurants of Dartmouth, this home is ideal for any group on a trip to South Devon. Garage parking is available on the premises – a rarity in this area – and should you want to escape to the beach, Blackpool Sands is a ten-minute drive away. The outside space steals the show here – there's a patio overlooking the town and a large garden with a picnic table. Inside, the well-appointed kitchen and comfortable bedrooms guarantee a stress-free break. It's a little dated (although we think it's cosy), but the fantastic location more than makes up for the interiors.

Blue Wildflower

Elevated high above the River Dart, this house is as beautiful as the view from its windows. Set across three floors, the open plan ground floor features a cosy living room, leading to an ornate fireplace and a dining table next to large panelled windows, so you can admire the picturesque view over breakfast. The front door leads out onto a sun-soaked deck, complete with a wooden table and a barbecue – the perfect place for long alfresco lunches and sunset drinks with panoramic vistas of the river. Each bedroom is cosy and characterful, with nautical artwork and light wooden furniture. 

There are plenty of activities for all ages on your doorstep. For a Devonshire classic, head to the banks of the river for a spot of crabbing, and then grab fish and chips from the award-winning local chippy a nine-minute walk from the house. When the sun shines, Devon’s beaches could be Mediterranean. The wide expanses of Blackpool Sands can be reached in ten minutes by car, where you can enjoy a day of splashing in the sea and building sandcastles. There are many boat and ferry trips up the River Dart – your hosts are happy to recommend you some excellent day trips as well as tips on the best walks and other excursions. Dartmouth is a twelve-minute walk away, where you’ll find top seafood restaurants and laid-back country pubs. 

Riverside Breeze

Spread across the top two floors of a Georgian townhouse in Dartmouth's historic town centre, this apartment is a fantastic base from which to explore South Devon. Blackpool Sands Beach is only a ten-minute drive away, and Dartmouth Castle is reached in twenty-five minutes by foot. Inside the home, there is enough room for a family or group of friends to spread out in the open-plan living area. At capacity, four guests will share one bedroom – something to keep in mind if you’re staying with those with like their own space.

Shining Stars

Overlooking Dartmouth Harbour, this apartment is a great base from which to begin your adventures in Devon. It’s just a brisk walk to the embankment, with shops and restaurants all within easy reach. For beach days, head to Blackpool Sands – just a ten-minute drive away – or follow the nearby Dart Valley Trail. And when in search of total relaxation, this little apartment provides the ideal solution. There’s a copper bath with views across the water, a cosy living area and a sweet little bedroom with bunk beds for kids.   

Joy of the River 

You may want to delicately broach the discussion of which family members to invite here, because the trip will be legendary. Located on the River Dart, this sprawling three-level property accommodates a party of 12. You will have the whole house to yourselves, so act like you own the place. Beyond the plethora of views, there are plenty of seafaring activities to partake in. Cruise the Kingswear Castle Paddle Steamer, go paddleboarding, rent a boat, or just utilize your direct access to the water. On land: picnic, visit nearby castles, museums, the Greenway House (once home to Agatha Christie), or catch the ferry to the historic maritime town of Dartmouth, which is within walking distance. With six bedrooms and plenty of square footage, everyone will have a chance to stretch out and enjoy alone time. The lucky occupants of two bedrooms on the mid level will have direct access to the balcony terrace. When it’s time to gather for conversation or a meal, there are so many options; from tons of communal space to the remarkable outdoor dining setup. This classic seaside structure is pompous in a good way.

Undeniably Utopian

With spectacular River Dart views, this charming family home is just the place for those after a coastal escape to South Devon. Wake up to breakfast on the sun-soaked deck with sweeping views across the harbour, over the River Dart and out to Dartmouth. The Atlantic beckons beyond, and with easy access to the secluded coves, expansive sand and shingle beaches flanked by striking cliffs, it’ll be effortless to make the most of your location.

When you’re not out exploring the seafront shops and teahouses in Dartmouth (a quick ferry ride away), or walking the cliff-grazing trails along the South West Coastal Path, spend sunny afternoons in one of the elegant waterfront pubs, watching the boats float up and down the river. Enjoy long balmy evenings with a barbecued seafood feast on the patio, with today’s catch you picked up from the local fishmonger, and soak up the last of the lingering light. As dusk descends, the cosy lounge, with its plush sofas and crackling fire, will be everyone’s first port of call for movie nights come nightfall. 

The River House

Purposely designed by a talented architect, this stylish apartment oozes modern luxury. Deluxe fittings and a carefully thought-out layout showcase the calibre of the home, which is perfect for small families or groups of friends.

Crisp, white walls line the living room, which is decorated in chic artwork, a bright yellow sofa and vivid blue cushions for touches of character. Such is the proximity to the harbour, you can open the patio doors and smell the fresh scent of the sea air from the comfort of the sofa.

A smart TV faces the sofa for when you fancy a lazy morning or cosy night in. For the days where you want to explore the cobbled charm of Dartmouth, you're just minutes from the main attractions. 

Flavel Centre and many theatres reside close by for an afternoon of culture. Stroll along the harbour with an ice cream on the warm days, or settle down for a gourmet lunch at one of the many pubs, restaurants and cafes down Foss Street.

Parks & Harbours

Step inside this recently modernised Victorian home that's set on one of Kingswear’s most sought-after roads, in the very heart of the village and almost touching the water. With its glass-front, the recent remodel maximises the wonderful views of the River Dart and offers splendid visions all the way out to sea. The open-plan concept and seamless transition of indoor to outdoor living creates a comfortable and luxurious space for those that need a few days of solid rest and recuperation. There's a dash of retro here, with a 1950s inspired long table, and bright and bold colours in the bedrooms. Enjoy a soak in the freestanding tub, feel your toes get toasty in front of the fire, and, as always, be sure to explore your beautiful surroundings. In our opinion, this home is a beautiful landmark of the Devon coastline, away from the busy tourist-heavy beaches – it's the idyllic summer getaway.

The Woman In White

This modern apartment is part of a local landmark – an old industrial building that's been used as everything from a pottery to a brewery. Now split into a handful of stylish apartments, it's a striking building close to the river and just a short way from the centre of Dartmouth.

Character features mix with clean, contemporary styling here, with exposed stone walls and wooden beams sitting alongside black-framed windows and marble bathrooms. There's a comfortable open-plan layout to the living space with a sleek galley kitchen just off it and cosy leather sofas to curl up on, along with two big bedrooms – each with its own bathroom. And the fact that one bedroom is set on a lower floor makes it plenty private enough for friends sharing.

Just a couple of minutes from the town by car, or a stroll on foot, this home is also close to Gallants Bower and Dartmouth Castle.
