About this property

Situated within easy walking distance of the town centre is this well presented semi-detached abode, George Cottage. With its close proximity to the coastline and a plethora of things to see and do, this cottage is ideal for families who are seeking a relaxing space to call home as they endeavour on an action-packed holiday. Once you have situated your car in your designated off-road parking spot, take the external steps up to enter into the property and discover an open-plan living room, offering a spacious social area, where you can all gather together to unwind. The contemporary kitchen space comes complete with a range of quality appliances, which are certain to encourage a spot of home cooking, whether that be preparing picnic’s for the next day’s coastal adventure or whipping up a family-favourite recipe. Joining the space is a large dining table and an inviting seating arrangement, where you can look forward to kicking back and flicking through the channels of the TV, whilst amidst the refreshing colour palette and nautical theme touches. The contemporary elegance continues onto the first floor, where you will find your sleeping spots, comprising of a plush king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom, each one benefitting from quality linens, fluffy white towels and plenty of storage space to keep your things. During balmy afternoons enjoy the south facing terrace where table and chairs offer an alternative dining arrangement. Positioned five minutes away from Dartmouth’s centre, so that you won’t have to venture too far to find the perfect spot for food and drinks, with its narrow streets littered with superb restaurants and pubs, as well as boutique shops and enticing art galleries, that are awaiting to be enjoyed. Be sure to meander to the waterfront, where you can catch a glimpse of the colourful boats bob happily in the water or if you are feeling adventurous, hire a boat to explore the waters even further. Whilst here, you can pay a visit to the Royal Avenue Gardens or brush up on the local history at Tudor-style Dartmouth Museum and the 15th century fortress of Bayard's Cove Fort. Keen walkers can take the coastal path to Dartmouth Castle to soak up the views of the estuary, before lazing on the shoreline of the Sugary Cove Beach; alternatively, walk along the famous South West Coast Path, where you can pay a visit to the likes of Brownstone Battery and Berry Head National Nature Reserve. Families can look forward to embarking on a journey on the Dartmouth Steam Railway, where you can take in the magnificence of the Devonshire countryside before arriving at Paignton, which is home to an array of things to do, including the Paignton Zoo Environmental Park, a number of sandy beaches, a picturesque pier and adventure golf. The delights of Brixham, Kingswear and Salcombe are all well-worth exploring too, as is a day out at Woodlands Family Theme Park and Torquay's Dinosaur World. George Cottage promises to be a wonderful place to call home as you enjoy this part of Devon.

Dartmouth is a bustling town resting on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the South Hams area of South Devon, 12 miles away from Totnes.

    Sadly no Christmas decorations Very disappointed ☹️ steps up to door and garden covered in moss and quite slippery and dark

    It was great to be able to easily walk into town with only a short hill which is partly why we chose the property. The kitchen was well stocked and the shower was the best we’ve experienced with self catering. Parking was a real bonus especially during Regatta week and was adequate for 1 large car. The garden is steep so others might want to be mindful with children, puppies, or old dogs but was suitable for our needs. The beds were super comfy and pillows just right. There was a hairdryer in the property despite being told by the agents there definitely wasn’t one. Also lots of extras such as hoover, airer, iron etc if needed. We agree the TV signal isn’t great but you can sign into various digital providers such as iPlayer and Prime. All in all we would recommend the property but prefer using a different agency as they weren’t they easiest to get hold of.

    We are in our seventies but we could cope with the walk back up the hill after a meal at one of the lovely restaurants or a stroll around Dartmouth.
