The Garden Cottage, located in the picturesque town of Dartmouth, Devon, offers a charming holiday experience suitable for all seasons. This delightful accommodation, which sleeps five guests across three bedrooms, boasts a fresh décor that harmonizes with its homely comforts. Positioned just a short distance from the town center and the scenic waterfront, the cottage provides stunning views of the river and town from both the master bedroom and the beautifully maintained garden, creating an idyllic setting for leisurely lunches on sunny afternoons. The interior features characteristic stone walls and solid wood floors, enhancing the maritime cottage charm, while a log burner ensures warmth during the cooler months, making it a cozy retreat year-round. Additionally, the property is pet-friendly, welcoming dogs to join in the holiday experience.
Upon entering The Garden Cottage through the stable door, guests are greeted by a spacious ground-floor hallway, perfect for storing coats and boots. The recently refurbished family bathroom is conveniently located on this level, featuring both a bath and a separate shower. A small single bedroom is also situated on the ground floor, along with a washing machine tucked away in a cupboard under the stairs. Moving to the first floor, guests will find a light and airy lounge diner and kitchen area, which opens up to the garden. The lounge is equipped with a smart TV, soundbar, and comfortable seating, while the dining area is positioned by the window, offering lovely garden views. The well-equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, ensuring all culinary needs are met.
The second floor of the cottage houses two inviting double bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly noteworthy, featuring dual-aspect windows that frame breathtaking views of the river and garden. It is well-appointed with a built-in wardrobe, drawers, a dressing table, and a cozy seating area to fully enjoy the scenery. The second double bedroom also includes a built-in wardrobe for added convenience. An additional cloakroom and a WC with a large stone basin are located on the landing, enhancing the functionality of the upper level.
Outside, the rear garden of The Garden Cottage offers a secure and delightful space for relaxation, complete with mature flower beds, seating areas, and lawns. A decked area at the top of the garden features a dining table and chairs, making it an ideal spot for outdoor meals. While there is no designated parking available, guests can find unrestricted parking on nearby Crowthers Hill and Jawbones, though the steepness of the hill may pose challenges for those with mobility issues. An excellent Park & Ride service operates from the top of town during the spring to autumn months, providing convenient access for a small fee. The cottage has specific availability requirements during peak season, but flexibility exists for stays outside of this period, ensuring a welcoming and accommodating experience for all visitors.
