About this cottage rental
Uphigh sits high above the rooftops of Dartmouth in the ever-popular area of Above Town. This spacious family home-from-home for families of six offers a great base for exploring Dartmouth, with stunning views over the river Dart, enjoyable no matter the weather. From coffee and croissants on the deck before a day of sunbathing to taking in the drama of the river on a stormy day, you're also within a short downhill walk to the delights of this historic town, with its eclectic mix of restaurants, bars and shops to explore. Families can enjoy riverside fun with a bucket and crabbing line or sitting on the banks of the Dart with local fish and chips from the award-winning Rockfish, where 'tomorrow's fish are still in the sea' - that's how fresh it is!
Accommodation:
The house is accessed by a number of external steps from the roadside, and once on the deck, three further steps to the front door. The front door opens to the entrance hallway, with stairs to access the first floor and beyond. On the entrance level, you'll find a large spacious living and dining area, with a well-equipped kitchen complete with a microwave, gas hob, oven, and a small fridge-freezer.
The first floor houses two bedrooms and a good-sized family bathroom, with the second floor housing the final bedroom.
Outside:
A sun-trap deck is a perfect spot for relaxing and taking in the panoramic views of the Dart, which can also be enjoyed from many of the front-facing rooms. There are sun loungers available for your use.
Parking:
Parking is not provided for Uphigh; however, there is some unrestricted parking in and around Dartmouth (Warfleet being the closest), with other bays available for between 1-2 hours for you to unload and get settled before moving your car further afield. From October until April, many of these bays are not time-restricted and cars can be left all day. There is also a Park & Ride service at the top of Dartmouth. Alternatively you can search on justpark for a suitable space nearby

We stayed 4 nights. Lovely house, just as described. Fabulous views of the Dart Estuary from the deck in front of the house.

Comfortable house with great views of the river, you just have to be prepared for the steps to get into town.

We had enjoyed a lovely long weekend at UpHigh, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone and stay here again next time we visit Dartmouth. The house has the most spectacular view across the estuary and the house itself was immaculate upon arrival and very comfortable for everyone. Unfortunately we could not locate the gas bottle for the BBQ which would have been great to enjoy a BBQ with the fabulous view. However this didn't dampen our spirits as it gave us the opportunity to explore a number of fine restaurants and pubs in town. Looking forward to our next visit...hopefully sooner than later!

Spent 4 nights here in early Sept 22. Cottage was good. Beds very comfortable and kitchen well stocked with all that you would need. Even have a wine fridge in the utility room.
Dartmouth is nice, though be prepared for uphill walking back to the house. Uphigh is located on “Above Town,” a narrow road that runs parallel to the seafront road below. There are steps at intervals down to the road. The steps near the house were pretty steep (72 steps) but walk along in the direction of town and you’ll find another set that are less steep.
Talking of the narrow road. I was concerned as I have a Lexus 4x4 and had read information tgat only small cars could access the road. I checked on Streetview and saw a wider car there so decided to take my chances. The car did get through the narrower parts of the road but only had approx 4 inches each side of the “folded in” wing mirrors. Advice I would give: Access from the town centre end of the road. It’s a two way street but coming from the town centre end makes it easier.
