    “Great location and a good place for a small family (2 adults, 1 kid).”

    All in all, we had a lovely week and enjoyed Dartmouth as our home base. We booked this property last-minute and got a pretty good deal, but I would be hesitant to pay full-price. Based on other Sykes Cottages we have stayed at, this one is acceptable at £800-900 but seems over-priced for what it is at the full summer list price of nearly £1400 for the week. One big thing to be aware of with this property though... As the listing mentions, the property overlooks the M&S carpark. What ...

    All in all, we had a lovely week and enjoyed Dartmouth as our home base. We booked this property last-minute and got a pretty good deal, but I would be hesitant to pay full-price. Based on other Sykes Cottages we have stayed at, this one is acceptable at £800-900 but seems over-priced for what it is at the full summer list price of nearly £1400 for the week. One big thing to be aware of with this property though... As the listing mentions, the property overlooks the M&S carpark. What the listing fails to mention is that M&S takes their deliveries at 7am every morning! Assuming one sleeps with the windows open as we did in the summer, it is impossible to sleep while the extremely loud deliveries are taking place for over an hour. Also be aware that the property comes with only a cleaning starter pack (which seems to be typical these days for properties owned by a company instead of individuals) that will not last you the entire week.

The property

This unique three-story building, Dancing Beggars, is located in the well-loved Historic Naval town of Dartmouth.

Dancing Beggars gives the ideal base from which to explore all that Devon has to offer.

It welcomes four guests to experience the ultimate escape and features a maritime design with historical décor scattered throughout.

Discover a well-equipped kitchen with a wide variety of appliances that will make your stay easier.

While the designated chef of the group whips up a delicious meal to be enjoyed at the homely breakfast bar, kick off your shoes, relax on the plush sofas, and take in the warmth of an open fire on the Smart TV.

Step outdoors to the side courtyard on warm evenings to spend your evenings alfresco while raising a glass to a fun-filled getaway while sipping a chilled beverage of your choice.

Return inside as it gets dark to wash the day away in a chic bathroom, enjoy a long soak or energising shower, finish your essential skincare routine, and then retire to one of the two impeccably furnished double bedrooms, each of which has a Smart TV for a tranquil place to unwind.

You're in for a treat when it comes to touring; start the day with a trip to the Dartmouth Museum to learn more about the area's history before enjoying a picnic in the Royal Avenue Gardens.

Take a stroll along the embankment taking in the dramatic views of the River Dart and Dartmouth Harbour before visiting the majestic Dartmouth Castle and Sugary Cove Beach—a serene location to lose yourself in a book or paddle in the waters and explore Bayard's Cove Fort or Warfleet Creek.

Take advantage of the many walking, biking, and hiking trails that wind through the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, or travel to Torquay to visit the Tessier Gardens, Babbacombe Model Village, and Babbacombe Beach.

You can easily access the vibrant city of Exeter from here, which is home to an astounding number of bars, eateries, and cafes in addition to the magnificent Exeter Cathedral.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
