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.

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!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2021
Pros:
-Good Central location
-Beautiful, well kept garden
-Good views
-Good shower and bath
Cons:
- The property should not have been advertised as sleeping 5 people it was a 4 person property. The 3rd bedroom was constantly damp, mould on the walls and smelly so we were unable to use it. In our opinion it should have been a utility/boot room as it was not a suitable sleeping space. The duvet in that bedroom felt damp all week.
-The property is no good for people with any mobility issues due to the elevated position and the steps.
-Parking is difficult so we didnt use the car much
- A dishwasher would have been good as on holiday you dont want to spend all the time washing up!
