About this cottage rental

The Garden Cottage is a holiday home for all seasons, blending fresh décor with homely comforts. Just a stone's throw from the centre of Dartmouth and the waterside, its elevated position gives splendid views over the town and river from the master bedroom and the well-tended garden - a perfect spot for lunch on a sunny afternoon. Inside, feature stone walls and solid wood floors envelop you in maritime cottage charm. Plus, there's a log burner for the chillier months. Dogs are welcome, too.


Accommodation:

From the stable door entrance, the ground-floor hallway has plenty of space for coats and boots, while the exposed stonework gives a lovely cottagey feel as you arrive. The large, recently-refurbished family bathroom comes complete with a bath, separate shower, and WC. There is also a small single bedroom on the ground floor, There's also a washing machine in the cupboard under the stairs.

The first floor houses the lounge diner and kitchen, and has access to the garden. The lounge-diner is a light and airy room with dual-aspect windows and great views over the garden. The lounge area has a smart TV and soundbar, two sofas, and a wood burner. There is a dining table and chairs set into the window at the back of the room.

The well-equipped kitchen has wooden units and worktops, a fridge, an electric oven with a gas hob, and a microwave. There's also a small freezer in the hallway.

The second floor has two double bedrooms. The master bedroom has dual-aspect windows with fantastic views of the river and garden. There is a built-in wardrobe, drawers and a dressing table, as well as seating to make the most of the view.

The second bedroom has a double bed and a built-in wardrobe. There is an additional cloakroom upstairs and a WC on the landing with a large stone basin set on an oak vanity unit.


Outside:

The garden at the rear of the property overlooks the town and river and is a delightful suntrap with mature flower beds, seating areas and lawns, as well as a decked area at the top with a dining table and chairs. Dogs are welcome at The Garden Cottage, and the garden is secure with plenty of space.


Parking:

There is no parking included at The Garden Cottage, From the front door up Crowthers Hill and Jawbones, parking is unrestricted. Crowthers Hill itself is steep, as is the walk up to the parking at Jawbones Hill and the walk from the town centre, so the cottage may not be ideal for those with mobility problems. The Park & Ride at the top of town is an excellent service (buses run from spring to autumn). The cost is £5 per day and can be topped up using the Ringo app too. There is also free overnight parking.


Availability:

In the peak season, May, June, July and August, we need to keep to Saturday changeovers and a minimum stay of 7 nights. However, please do contact me with any requests you may have and we will accommodate them if possible. Out of peak season, we don't need to keep to a Friday changeover.

Nice cottage, parking is not always ideal especially on a very steep hill. If you are taking a dog is not 100% secure, especially for a young dog.

Characterful cottage which is well equipped, with views of the beautiful estuary. Good information from 'Dart Valley Cottages' with appropriately timed texts/emails. Enjoyable stay as good base to take advantage of whats on offer, please however take care to read warnings regarding the gradient of the hill location.

The cottage is charming and the garden just gorgeous. Lots of different areas to relax in ( or play hide and seek). Amazing river views. The hill is memorable but then that’s the the views are so great. We had a lovely holiday. So many child and dog friendly things to do!

We had a wonderful stay at the charming Garden Cottage, which lived up to its name. The garden was brilliantly designed to explore, filled with little nooks and crannies to perch for a drink and watch the steam train chugging up the river bank. Our toddler loved it. Thank you so much. The cottage itself was well kitted out with everything needed for a comfortable break, even dog bowls and treats! The only negative was pretty minor - the bedding was a bit warm for us - we struggle with anything that thick even in winter, and the heating was a bit noisy at night but was dealt with quickly and efficiently and didn't affect us too much. I would definitely recommend to others, and hope to return some time soon.

This was our first stay in Dartmouth and Garden Cottage did not disappoint. The house is very well presented and the garden a very welcome bonus. The views by day and night were amazing. The location was fantastic - just a short walk to all amenities, but far enough away to be tranquil.

We stayed in Garden cottage for a week with our dog whilst visiting family. Very clean and comfortable cottage with accommodation over 3 floors. There is a log burner and smart tv in the cosy lounge. Kitchen is well-equipped. Beautiful garden with lovely views of river Dart and Kingswear. Dartmouth town is 5-10 minute walk away but the lane is steep. You can’t park outside the cottage, but up the road there is free, roadside parking. We loved it and would highly recommend except for those with mobility problems.

We enjoyed a lovely week in Dartmouth. Cottage was very comfortable & warm. Great garden and great views. The hill and parking took a little getting used too (we did know about this before our arrival), but it was great being so close to Dartmouth centre.
