Steps away from the River Dart, this contemporary family home is just the place for those after a coastal escape to South Devon. Wake up from peaceful slumbers to enjoy coffee at the sleek table with your holiday read before stepping out to explore the charming town of Dartmouth. You’re perfectly placed to discover your local sights – make a trip to Dartmouth Castle and Bayard’s Cove Fort, or simply enjoy a day out at the local museum, perusing the quaint shops, sipping tea at a local teahouse and sharing a comforting dinner at one of the modern British pubs. When you’re not out dining at one of the seafront restaurants or walking the cliff-grazing trails along the South West Coastal Path, spend evenings cosied up on the plump sofas with the crackling fire and a movie. It's warm and inviting here – gather around the dining table for a home-cooked dinner and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, then retire to your serene bedroom where you’ll be guaranteed a restful night’s sleep.
