and pubs in Dartmouth. The Floating Bridge with its riverside terrace is

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.

    The location is wonderful and with parking it’s definitely five star. The only minor issue I had was with the refuse disposal . It’s well explained in the flat but the holiday rental bin store only has one bin. Unlike the residents bin store which has all the bins in order to recycle . It didn’t make sense to me .

  • Anthony

    The flat is perfect, the location is perfect and I don’t think I would want it any different. We picked the wrong week as the weather was atrocious but we still managed to get some walks and nice meals which was the aim of our break in Dartmouth. My only comment about the flat was the storage heaters which didn’t always appear to work as they should and sometimes it was too hot overnight. The bathroom with both bath and walk in shower was amazing. We will recommend Leeward to anyone.

    Lift is down ( outside of this feedback) which made for a bit of a pull with luggage but other than that it was just perfect, so much so that we have booked for a further stay in Jan 2026
