This waterfront apartment has bagged itself a prime position on the banks of the River Dart, with views across the water and out to sea. And with two balconies – one off the living area and one off the main bedroom – there’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy them. While the open-plan kitchen is on the small side, it is well-equipped. And if you fancy dining out, just hop on a ferry for the short and scenic trip to Dartmouth, where you’ll find a choice of restaurants and pubs. Just note that the area is famous for its hills, so you'll want to pack comfortable shoes.

Home truths
Due to its location on the edge of a cliff, this home is not suitable for toddlers or young children.
There's parking in the garage for one small car, though it can be tricky to get in and out if there are cars opposite. Free on-street parking is available outside the house and along Beacon Road (though keep an eye out for 'permit only' spaces). Alternative free parking is also available on Ridley Hill and Castle Road.
Please note that access to this home is via Beacon Road, which is very narrow and unsuitable for wide cars. The narrowest point is 6'6" (2m).
The area is hilly, so it won't suit those who struggle with mobility.
The TV signal here is variable.
Some guests felt the sofa was a tad uncomfortable.
