About this cottage rental

Tastefully reimagined to complement Dartmouth's coastal character, The Old Orchard is an ideal home-from-home for a small family or for a romantic getaway. Its elevated position above Dartmouth makes for glorious views of the river and valley. Laid out across a single-storey, this 3-bedroom detached home has been thoughtfully refurbished to create a fresh, contemporary space to stay.


Accommodation:

From the parking area, steps lead up to the house.

The living space and kitchen area open up to maximise the socialising space. Oak-effect solid flooring and a comfy sofa face the centrepiece wood-effect fire (ideal for cosy nights in the cooler months).

The Seashell-white Shaker-style kitchen includes a brand-new Rangemaster oven and hob, a black quartz sink, and a solid oak worktop; it's also well-equipped with a microwave, toaster, and filter coffee maker. A grinder is supplied for you to freshly-prepare your favourite coffee. There's a second area adjacent to the living space for preparing drinks and light meals.

Bedroom one has a king-size bed and bedside tables, with views of the well-tended private garden.

Bedroom two has a double bed with a dressing table, wardrobe, and mirrors and a broad window to take in the view of the boats on the river and the rolling hills across the valley.

Bedroom three has a single bed with a built-in small wardrobe with overhead storage.

The family bathroom has a large shower, basin, and WC. There's also a separate WC room with a wash basin.


Parking:

There is ample off-road parking for up to 4 cars in the driveway (Please note that the garage is locked and is for the owners' use only).


Outside:

From the patio doors of the living space is the paved and walled terrace, with seating for up to six.

Beyond, the private fenced garden is laid to lawn, with mature trees at the border and apple trees within.

There is a rear gate with direct access to the bus stop for frequent services into town and the riverside, and to the larger grocery stores nearby.

** Please note that The Old Orchard is not suitable for children under 16 years due to the slopes in the garden **

We stayed for a week and really enjoyed it. The house had everything that we could need for four adults. Having spacious off road parking for two cars was a bonus. The house was very clean and comfortable. We walked into the town every evening for dinner and it was a pleasant walk although coming back is uphill which was quite a workout! It was really helpful having a washing machine and a washing line and airer but a washer/dryer or the ability to use the heated towel rails would be helpful on damp/drizzly days. Our dogs loved the garden and although fully enclosed, the front wall is quite low and there is a steep drop on the other side which could be dangerous. We were grateful for being allowed to bring the dogs as we understand that the property no longer allows dogs but it would have been helpful to have been informed that prior bookings with dogs were being honoured as we were very concerned that we had booked in error. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable and stay - thank you.
